Follow up to previous question. Do you know where the fuse is that would shut down the anti lock brakes?

I'm having problems with the a/b and would like to just disconnect. I am unable to find the fuse. I know about the ones on the left side of dash, but I need the one that would disconnect the system. Would this be the best way to shut off and do you think it would be safe to do so? Thanks a lot|||I looked at your previous questions also. It sounds like the ABS "thinks" that your wheels "locked", so its cycling the anti-lock solenoid?- like it does on snow, you say?





Pickups often have just rear wheel ABS. The sensor for both rear wheels is located in the front of the rear axle. Check for damage, missing teeth, anything loose.





The system can probably give you trouble codes, using the same scan tool that checks for engine trouble codes.





Most worrisome is that you say it doesn't stop well. Normally the front brakes do about 75% of the work. If it's "rear ABS" and it doesn't stop when the rear ABS kicks in..... What are the front brakes doing? Got brake fluid? firm pedal? does it do hard stops OK?





Sometimes its worth the dealerships price - they're the most familiar. Its worth the higher hourly rate, they may be able to diagnose so much faster|||i do not think that there is a safe way to do this at all. if the computer sees a problem in that system, it will disable it. there is not a fuse for the abs alone. it is a computer controlled system.|||What car?Honda products have ABS fuses under the hood .


You can drive with a Disconnected ABS but brakes will have a tendency to lock up in an emergency/panic stop.
