Works on my 07 Burb :shrug: disables traction control and stabilitrak completely

Mine does it too, but I've read that it's only "disabled" if you catch my drift. I do not have fish hand knowledge or evidence either way.

its very simple to check, if you on ice or very slippery ground, just floor your gas pedal with traction and stability track off just with the button on the dash, you will see that ECU will still cut the power, take your ABS fuse out and wheels will keep spinning at full speed, you control the power not ECU

I’ve done exactly what you described with turning off traction control and stabilitrak (after holding down the button for 5 seconds to turn off both), mashed the gas and no power is cut. It’ll spin to my hearts content with no power loss :shrug: but it’s cool. I don’t want to muddy up your thread. I was just curious why cut ABS. You answered with your reason. :waytogo:

Little mod I thought would share with you guys. First of all I heat wires hanging on my dash so never used the 12 v outlets on the lower portion of middle console. Decided to put two push button switch instead, one to disable ABS brakes second to turn off my A pillar gauges.

And here is the spec for push button.

I did something similar. I installed a 3 way switch to control my front and rear cameras while on the move.
Also installed the stock USB port as well.

I had to grind a little bit out of the inside of the cover to get it to close properly. I could have done a little better job smoothing it out but I never see it when closed.

When you close the cover it automatically turns the switch off.

I was thinking of utilizing the covers but they won't cover the push button switch, plus they are low on amp so will need to add relays.

Since ABS is a 25A circuit and my switch is rated at 5A it is necessary to add relay, 01DB6D29-CE0A-46AF-8571-DA580DDD7DE0.jpeg

This relay harnest its not necessary it all depends on type of connectors you choose to use

Wish I knew how to use relays, and how --and why--to wire them up, I mean I have a very general idea.

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.
