Thinking about this some more today. You guys will have to be careful when using your cruise when that wire is cut. Its no longer going to know to kill the cruise when you tap the brake which means if you forget or if someone else is driving your car and is used to killing the cruise with the brakes (like myself) you could be in trouble.

Just a caution I thought of today while driving a sweet rental car in West Texas. haha

Actually the cruise control is on a separate brake switch circuit. there are two brake position switches one for lights and vdc and one specifically for cruise control.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cruise control just failed to work at all with the ABS controller dead. Be interesting to see what happens

can somebody help me find the actual (pin 1F of E103) located at the fusebox so i can make switch to turn on/off the abs.

Sorry to drag this one from the dead, but I had a concern here and wanted to ask you guys about it. I have a switch to disable yaw and I like it that way unless it's raining. I know it's basically an accelerometer, my concern is whether or not doing this might disable airbags?? If so I will rethink. I am thinking not because the airbag lights are not lit, but just wanted to make sure...

Thanks in advance

No, the yaw sensor shouldn't affect the airbag system at all AFAIK. The yaw sensor's hooked to traction control and ABS, but not to the safety system. There are impact sensors around the car that do that.

yeah the airbag system is entirely separate from any other system on the car, the NHTSA demands that it be separate so that a failure in one system cannot affect it's operation.
