is it possible to disable a.b.s by pulling the fuse,and if so which one,the 30 amp fuse to ecu,or 60 amp to abs.and would the brakes work ok just with out the anti lock function.
also,do the fuses need to be unscrewed from underneath,as they don't seem to want to pull out.

Hello ih

From my last foray into the wonderful world of ABS ,I seem to remember that ABS fusible link  is the 60 A yellow fuse by the battery, how it comes out i don't know . Yes the brakes are fine  without the ABS connected, same as a car without ABS infact

If the ABS light is on it won't work anyway

see you unlocked

The fuse is bolted, just like your insurance company will, if you have a claim and they find you disabled the ABS.



tip:   blow the fuse and put it back

the problem is weird,and only started happening yesterday,the abs light goes off like normal,but the abs pump kicks in under light braking,not always,just intermittently,it,s hardly done it at all today, wouldn't the light illuminate if there was a abs fault,got me thinking it might be the toothed rotor at the back of the disc having a few teeth of the toothed ring clogged up and fooling the abs to thinking the wheel has locked up?but wouldn't this cause the abs light to come on.going to power wash all the sensors this weekend and check wiring and multi plugs see if that cures the problem.cheers for the advice.

well today ABS light came on,(and i thought the problem had gone away) and i noticed tonight when i switched the ignition off,that the pump was running constantly,pulled the bonnet and could feel the pump vibrating,so i pulled the multi plug apart and it stopped, couldn't leave it running all night.so does this point to pump fault,ecu,or wiring,as it was running with the key removed from the ignition.

Hello IH  

There is a power relay behind the radio, maybe that is at fault.


To be honest you are better off going into Bletchley Park mode  and retrieving the fault codes

cheers emax,the thing is,i like it better without the ABS,it's *beep* in the snow,and sometimes used to come on when braking over slippery manhole covers,i hate electrics

Hello Ih

I think if you want to remove the ABS system  it is easy to do.  I think johnkyte  did a how to remove it.  I seem to remember you only need a T piece.  I was going down that trail could not repair mine.

I hate electrics more than you

See you manhole dodging

Have the same annoying fault as many others with the ABS coming on under normal conditions which makes the wagon less controlled under braking and makes a horrible juddering noise from the footwell etc. I tried cleaning the sensors and reluctor rings with a pressure washer, cleaning the various electrical connectors with switch cleaner, brake fluid is at max, brakes have been bled. I can't think of anything else to do to remove the fault so I have resorted to unplugging the ABS pump power connector so the brakes go back to non-ABS mode. The ABS light will be sadly on permanently until I can remove the bulb!

If anyone else has any other ideas I'd be happy to hear them unless it means replacing anything expensive - I am half Yorkshire and half Scottish!!

If the ABS light is on, it's now an MoT failure - and removing the bulb wont get round the issue as the ABS light has to come on at start up and then go off.

However, you could always wire it to something else like the engine management light or the AT warning light so it comes on and then goes off!!!
