So the flash from JEEP wasn't enough for your off road needs?
ESP still kicking in when it's not needed?
BAS interfering like the Political Correctness Brigade?
Well here is your answer, the ESP Disable switch.
ESP, BAS, TC and ABS is all controlled by one module; the DYNAMICS SENSOR.
This sensor can be found in your centre console just infront of the rear cup holders on the driver's side.
Here is what you need to do
First, unbolt the 4 screws that hold the centre console.
Then locate the PURPLE/LIGHT BLUE wire. Be careful as there is a PURPLE/DARK BLUE wire right next to it and they look almost identical. I'd be checking twice, cutting once, here.
To check if you cut the right wire, turn the ignition to ON and see if the ABS, TC and ESP/BAS lights come on and stay on after 10 seconds. If they do then you got the right wire.
Next solder some longer wires to reach a switch.
Then attach it to a simple ON/OFF switch anywhere in your vehicle. You can opt to make this consealed, but really, why bother?
Please note: While operating the vehicle with safety features turned ON, and you flick the switch it WILL disable the safety features on the move. Unfortunately it will not work in reverse. You will have to turn OFF the vehicle, flick the switch and then start it again for the safety features to return.
Now before all you politically correct do gooders get on here and preach your opinions...GET LOST. WE DON'T CARE!
Is it important that the car is facing North and does it have to be 28C
Yes, very important. You have to conduct the procedure correctly. Kind of like the steering wheel trick with the ESP.
If you do it facing south, you will be in -28 deg territory and I would imagine the soldering iron would have a hard time getting up to correct temp. Not to mention you will make the wires look like they have been in a boxing ring with Edward Scissorhands.

Just one thing ... when you have the module switched off ... do your lattes in the cupholders go cold quicker ????
Could be of vital interest and importance to some ....
Latte? WTF? Hey...are you one of those politically correct do gooders in disguise trying to inflitrate this thread?
U have changed since i last seen u Chris, back when u had the tj it had to be perfect and the best of everything, now your hacking into the electronics and drilling holes in the dash of your brand new jk.......I like it
How in the hell did u find the control box under there? Is that the power in wire?
I would only flick the switch with the key off, u don't want spikes going through your electrics. I think u can buy special switches for electronics from dicksmiths?
Sorry guys, I know I asked this in the ESP Disable thread - Mk 1, but didn't get a chance to read the reply before the nanny brigade struck...
What's the difference in doing this mod, and holding off the ESP switch for 7 seconds or so ? What else extra does it turn off?
ESP
ABS
Traction Control
Are all PERMANENTLY off when this mod is done As you can see in Crazynuts Dash Picture!
Aslo EPS doesn't kick in after that certain speed limit (40/km i think) with this mod!
This mod is great and works perfectly, i was in the jeep when it was being tested
Crazynuts , The gods of esp/ bas are going to get you as from this moment you are doomed to never have a safe car again. We will try praying for you but I do not think it will help.
May the gods have mercy on your poor lost soul.

Thank god Im a atheist so if I perfom this mod I will be okay.

Hmm so cutting this loses the awsomely good traction control to I guess, which may be not needed on the beach anyway.
I cut the other purple wire and now my kitchen light flickers snd my microwave brings up an error code, can I get a reflash to fix this?
