Alright- 89 XJ Limited with ABS. relatively new ABS components installed before I owned the jeep due to the factory service bulletin. I want to run a toggle switch using spade connectors or something similar plugged in to the fuse slot for the ABS so that I can switch it off for non pavement applications. (Yes, I will put a fuse somewhere in the hot wire going to the switch). My questions are,
1. Is this the easy (and safe) way to accomplish what I want or should I tap into a wire somewhere else in the system?
2. Is it safe to arbitrarily kill power to the ABS system in terms of the components and functioning of the brakes? Should I only operate the switch when at a complete stop, foot on/off pedal, etc?
3. Does anyone have pictures of a kick ass setup for switches in their 84-96 Cherokee? I'm planning to make 1-2 gears selectable through the TCU wiretapping/switches scheme and by the time I'm done building this rig I'll have 4 or so switches for various items. Please post pics.
Any information appreciated. I'm really cautious when it comes to screwing with the brake system, and oddly enough out of 10 cars I've owned, this old XJ is the first I've had with ABS. And it actually works really well with 30's!
