Where is this ABS fuse you speak of .. It's over sensitive for sure. It has however saved my ass once or twice, just curious to see how the car brakes without it.

You will then be on the lookout for the threshold of a full lockup and progressive braking by feel.

Look in the fuse box, iirc its under the dash on drivers side.

Yes a toggle switch of some sort. Something that will cut the circuit properly, just like a lightswitch.

If taking the fuse out, I would recommend getting another of the same fuse, and short it on a battery so it blows. Then just swap that in its place.

In the event of an accident if it is noticed then it is quite probable that it blew through a fault in the system which caused the accident...

would the ecu register that abs is off, so if an accident occurs they could check?

It'd clear the fault code if it was replaced. Plus if you did what gx said, it would throw a abs light and record a fault anyway.
