how to disable the ABS
Has anyone disabled their ABS? I just want to disable the ABS ECU and theoretically normal braking should still be functional. Just wanted to see if anyone done this before?
Thanks and please no debate about ABS functionality and all that.

Just pull the fuse. The ABS light will stay on though. I've been driving my '92 with no ABS and the light on for 8 years.

Re: how to disable the ABS
Same as above, pulled fuse, removed right from gauge cluster, didnt work after the manual swap anyway. ABS on older subarus is far more hindrance than it is help.

Re: how to disable the ABS
Is loss of ABS a normal consequence of a manual swap? My light came on after swapping my car but I just assumed I had goofed something up and never got around to fixing it.

Ours works on our 5MT SVX. Bought converted so no clue why it works on ours.

Re: how to disable the ABS
Depends on the axle shafts I think, some subaru's have the tone rings on on the axle instead of on the hub so I think they may have been interfering. Doesnt matter at this point, when it did work ABS also most caused me to wreck more times than it saved me.
