Default disconnect ABS and TC

Anyone come up with a way to COMPLETELY disable ABS and TC? not just for offroad use, but always?

I was thinking of making it so that I can switch the ABS and TC off with a switch on the dash. I saw a thread of someone who did this. Anyone with some feedback on this procedure? I would love to be able to turn the dash lights off permanently as well.

reasoning....
ABS and TC on slightly slippery and/or gravel roads suck!!! the worst system ever.


thanks for any input.

also, if I switch the fuse under the dash, will this COMPLETELY disable ABS and TC? once I switch it back on, do I need to clear codes (with a computer)to get the lights to switch back off?

thanks

What is it you dislike about the the system on a slippery surface, sure it is not your tires?

yep

I am not really talking about off road. Just on road. The ABS system sucks! It makes it so you can't stop the car when rolling to a stopsign. My wife's car does it too! Very annoying!

anyway, enough about WHY.... does switching it off with a switch COMPLETELY turn it off? any adverse electrical effects? when I switch it back on, will I still have the ABS lights on? do I need the computer to shut them off?

thanks for the info
