I will try to explain how to wire one, its not hard at all when you know what each post does, pretty much need one for any high current circuit, think of a relay as a heavy duty switch that is controlled by a pretty switch (lighter duty) inside your truck.
I'm gonna need a relay for my train horn.

ok so I will try to make this as painless as possible, some of you get this but most people think if you hold the traction control button for 5 seconds it will disable your traction control and stability track, which it does do it 100%!!!, for some strange reason GM decided that we can't drive and with both systems off ABS will take over and cut the power to the engine!!! Trust me on that I have tested will attach pictures when I buried my truck to the frame! and was not able to get out until I pulled ABS fuse out!

Hope the pictures helps. I have really tried to make worst scenario. It was accomplished by putting the truck in 2 WD and Auto with ABS fuse still in. When it sat on its frame wheels didn't spin at all!! After pulling ABS fuse out and flooring gas pedal truck jump out from the hole. Sorry I did not take any pictures of that, but I slammed my head to headliner so hard that just forgot about it. This being said this stock trucks are capable of more than you guys think they are, just need a little help. For people that want to push them bit more I will post how to disable traction and stabilitrak off 100% in the next post.

post #1

Decided which one is wright for you?

By removing fuse #61 ABS1 you will disable all systems at once, by removing #9 ABS2 you will disable ABS only (traction control and stabilitrak will have to be disable by holding the button for 5 seconds)

This is exactly why I drive year round with the fuse pulled... No need for it at any time. Even on dry roads, with as much power as I make, traction is an issue. I'd add a switch like you but I don't ever want the electronics on, they suck!
