I pulled my dash and found this box, it resembles a typical cpu box on a later model truck. I didn't think these had cpu's, especially diesels...

Hey does anyone know which wire I could put on a switch to turn it off when I'm playin in the dirt?

on your master cylinder there is a switch under the reservoir that you can disconnect. it will turn on the brake light on the dash and shut down the rabs.

oops guess I was wrong... after taking a second look at it I think the piece im talking about mounts to that, but idk it was right after I got the truck when I found it so about5 years

If I figure out how to cut one of the wires and make the rabs light come on would that work?

Why not just unplugg it??

I'd rather be able to flip a switch when I think about it than stop, open hood, pull plug...

The abs is just a pain, when in loose terrain.
