This electronic crap almost got me in a really bad accident after 2 small road bumps on dry pavement killed power. Got home and found this. Worked like the man says. I advise all Jeep owners to do this. It drives steers and stops better than before. God bless✌️
poster of video should add a .05 ￠ , rubber boot over the two pole switch: a lot more dust, grime and dirt get into that area than you’d think & it’d seal the switch ( plus look cleaner) . Nice write up . I went in under the cargo bin a bit further back in the console but I like your location, too. 👍🏻
Just cut the purple wire with light blue stripe. Kaboom traction control is off. Now to finish the install via the toggle switch tomorrow. Thanks for the video. Very informative
Shift knobs come off easy. Here's the trick. The knob has alittle rotation play not much but enuff. Pull hard hold tension about 30 40 lbs and use that twist play back and forth 10 20 times. Basically you are walking the spring loaded pin up the groove. Your welcom cheers from Nova Scotia Canada
Thanks, man that its really better then disconnect the fuse also want to know the light in the on the gear stick mind its get off check all fuese no luck
Just found this video. I have always had the suspicions that my 2014 was applying the brakes at certain times when I am on rock ledges trying to launch and sometimes when trying to move around carefully on steep inclines. I've always been in 4lo. At times I've went from Drive to Reverse to back up off a ledge a d the brakes wouldn't even release when letting off the pedal! Is that something you were experiencing? I tell others about it and they don't believe me.
Not exactly what I was having happen. For me it was when on the power and spinning tires on an incline. During this condition the power would be pulled and I lost all ability to accelerate until I took my foot off the accelerator and then pushed it again. Now, with this mod I don't seem to have this issue any more.
Now my question is, will it lock the breaks on a hard breaking? If so, I may have to do that mod on my JK 2013 and the reason is that this morning going to work I rear ended a vehicle because the jeep didn't stop on time having enough room to stop I guess that is the cons of having ABS system in the vehicle, I knew if I didn't have the ABS on the breaks would've locket and saved me of having the accident. ABS is good for some things and sucks for others. Smh. Nice write up!
@@HockeyJockOne no he doesn’t get it at all. If he thinks he can stop a car with no abs in a shorter distance than the identical vehicle with abs he’s very confused lol
Pressing and holding the traction control did not work well for me. Even doing this the computer would cut power to wheels when i was spinning the tires climbing something. I cant speak for the fuse but dis not want to have to pull the fuse each ride and/or permanently loose traction control...that is why i chose to use a toggle switch so i could easily kill all computer control or leave it engaged.
My question is my traction control light is on but the button want do anything and my abs light is off. I ran the cide reader and it's not showing anything wrong. I notice when I take off it does shake and sometimes worse then others.
Wouldnt pressing the traction control button for about 10 seconds while in 4 hi turn off the traction control system as well? what is the difference with this mod?
@@WooPowOffroad it is very tedious, but I would suggest pulling fuses first just to feel how your car handles without electronic braking and to get use to it. Once you've adapted and understand your own car better, then I would go for a more permanent solution such as a on/off switch as seen in your video.
I have an 18 jk rubicon and I cut the purple with light blue wire and the airbag light was on. Not sure if it changed for my year or not but from the wiring diagram it should have worked
Did the same on mine last year, but just to let you know, it will still cut the engine in deep snow or mud if the jeep is inclined, so you can totally forget the idea of a swing. This is the main reason for doing this mod and it didn't do it. Probably more effective to just take the fuse off and disable the entire ABS module.
holeshot53 from what I have gathered this does the same thing as pulling the fuse. I will report back after the next wheeling trip if this doesn’t work.
This is my first automatic out of all my Jeeps. I will tell you that there are definitely some positives to the automatic when offroad. However, with that said I prefer the manual tranny myself.
Over half of the crap on new vehicles now days needs to be bypassed to keep the BS check lights from driving a person nuts or non-needed visits to the dealer service .
There are two wires that look almost exactly the same....I warn in the video that there are two that look almost identical and one is the airbag and the other is traction control.
Yep, but mine with the light blue wire is airbag. Rather than try the other wire, I took out the fuses. That didn’t solve my particular problem. I may try the other wire with dark blue tracer, but still doubt it will fix my problem. Thanks for quick response, love you videos.
@@codytaylor048 just saw this after a year. No, I had a different problem that this didn’t fix. I was running a Yukon auto locker in the rear of my 2014 auto. So, I had to instal an electronic locker which solved my problem. 1500 dollar lesson learned.
That 'auto correct' about killed my family last night. layer of slush on the hwy, Dodge nitro '08. Son said the vehicle started to drift a little, he lifted and steered into the skid... like hundreds of successful recoveries in 'driver only' vehicles before. He told me :it was the fastest he's ever felt a vehicle get out of control'. They went down through the ditch, and sheared off a power pole.The Dodge did stay on it's wheels, and the impact was dead center front.All I'm saying is not every instance can be managed with a computer. Will be doing something like this for my 06 Liberty. Soon.

So did you just have the wire cut before? and now you put the toggle in?

Rubiman-jk ___ Thank you!!
Excellent vid showing how to bypass traction control off-road. Thank you sir!
Awesome, thank you I really appreciate that.
This Video deserves a big 👍🏻 thank you for sharing!!! Worked out perfectly 💪🏻
Thank you!!

Glad to be of some help!
The shift knob has prongs on the bottom. You use a flat head and pry easy at the bottom it slips right off.
Thanks, man that its really better then disconnect the fuse also want to know the light in the on the gear stick mind its get off check all fuese no luck

I know I am late here but that is the HSA or Hill Start Assist and you should be able to turn off going through the setup menu.
Now my question is, will it lock the breaks on a hard breaking?

jaycotty i haven’t tried on the highway but yes in theory it should lock them up just fine
You don't understand the point of ABS do you
@@HockeyJockOne no he doesn’t get it at all. If he thinks he can stop a car with no abs in a shorter distance than the identical vehicle with abs he’s very confused lol
Old vid but if you press and hold the traction control button it does the same thing.. Or pull the fuse J6 abs and hold on!

hcastilla2010 no, what I found is even with the button pressed it still has some computer control of engine speed
Nice vid.
Destroyer_girl Fortnite thank you
All you need to do is take out any fuse that has to do with "ESP" or "ABS" to find the fuses just look at your manual.
FAIR ENUF yes, however that is permanent and not a toggle on and off... unless you want to pull fuses and replace after each wheeling trip.

Does hill decent control work with the system bypassed?
Not sure as I never used it, but i would imagine not
@@WooPowOffroad
Yeah, figured not but thought I’d ask. Thanks.
I have an 18 jk rubicon and I cut the purple with light blue wire and the airbag light was on. Not sure if it changed for my year or not but from the wiring diagram it should have worked
There are two purple with light blue wires....look at the bottom of the wire loom for the other one and it should be the correct one.
I have the same rig, did you end up getting the right wire Tyler?
Any idea if this is the same for a 2012 3.8?
I believe so
do you still use this mod also will wires be the same on 2017
I have since sold the jeep, however the mod works well!! I dont know about the 2017 differences

that sucks, I loved the auto but just for this reason I prefered my 2012 with a stick. Never had issues of this kind.
This is my first automatic out of all my Jeeps. I will tell you that there are definitely some positives to the automatic when offroad. However, with that said I prefer the manual tranny myself.
Agree, for crawling and tricky stuff the auto kills it, but overall the manual is doing great.
What do you mean by “swing” ?
Would this work for a gladiator
What are the pros of disconnecting this?
The pro is you can completely disconnect the ESP / traction control system and spin the tires without the computer applying breaks or pulling power.
Does this kill your speedometer? I’ve used the pulling the fuses method before but didn’t like loosing speedometer and odometer.
ExpeditionTrio no, they still function fine
Marine660 good deal! I’m going to give it a try over the weekend.
awesome, it was relatively easy
Awesome!!! Thanks
Oops. Forgot to ask. What size drill bit did you use for the console cover on that single pole toggle switch?
Rubiman-jk ___ Sorry but i don’t recall...a stepper bit works well.
@@WooPowOffroad awesome. I have one of those
sorry one more thing did your speedometer still work
Yes
What gauge/size wires are the factory Jeep wires?
Not sure…
18 awg
Does this also turn off the anti roll feature off. As when you're in 2wd and slide around a corner.
Not sure about that one. I used this switch when in 4wd low
I need Nissan exterra model how do make bypass traction control and also Toyota fj can you tell me please
Sorry, I don't know anything about the Toyota / Nissan models.
OK can ask one question some people do wheel speed sensor wire bypass it's working properly or not good this type method
Over half of the crap on new vehicles now days needs to be bypassed to keep the BS check lights from driving a person nuts or non-needed visits to the dealer service .
Will this work the same in a 2007 jku? Is it the same set up
Bryan Dorris not entirely sure, although i doubt they changed the wiring harnesses between years
What amperage level switch did you use?
Dont recall sorry...its very low amp draw however
I cut same wire, and all I got is the airbag light on. 2014 JKUHR. Hmm

@@IFHSP2 did you get this figured out? I have a 2014 as well
@@IFHSP2 Did the other wire work? I also have a 2014 an wanted to attempt this.

I just pull fuse J6, play then pop the fuse back in.
i just did it and nothing happens just give me the abs light on 🤦♂️
This mod does not work as he had thought it would. long loose hill still cuts engine.
Worked for me....
