Disabling ABS

The guys at DECA in SHapparton have a Falcon with an ABS on and off switch, I think they open circuit the fuse cct for the ABS.

I am not sure though that I would do that in my own car thoLaterally Literal
Seriously Serial

Duncs,

Thanks for not telling me..... ;-)

Good point, Rhubarb

Rhubarb, if you DON'T disable the ABS on gravel or dirt you WILL need your insurance.

Yes agree with that and think it a bonus to disable ABS offroad. However you do need to keep in mind that insurance companies make there money by not paying you! And will do anything they can to get out of it.

So if you do pull the ABS fuse and have an incident, remember to put it make in before you call the insurance company!

Thanks Rob, I'll need you to show me how to stop quickly on GRAVEL

Dirt, gravel, its the same thing Peter, as I said, learn the correct braking technique and you won't activate your ABS. Like learning how to swim it is a learned skill but once learned is never forgotten. I have taught many people this method now, as you have discovered, ABS on loose gravel is not a good combination and initially caused major problems for me as a trainer. I of course, can not advise people to disconnect thier ABS for insurance reasons. Given a choice, in a vehicle that does a lot of offroad work I would prefer not to have ABS.
