What happens if I remove the ABS fuse?

I'm trying to repair an older car and replace parts. I'm currently working on the ABS for one car. I was wondering, what happens if I remove the ABS fuse?

The answer to this question will depend a lot on the specific vehicle you drive—but generally speaking, there are three major results you’ll see, no matter the car you have, if you remove the ABS fuse:
  • The ABS warning light will turn on
  • The anti-lock function will stop working properly, which may increase the distance it takes to safely stop your vehicle
  • The rear tires will lock, which will increase vehicle swing on turns and may make your vehicle more difficult to control
Removing the ABS fuse can result in dangerous driving conditions, especially if you’re not prepared or have never done it before—so be sure to check in with a professional for a second opinion or further advice regarding your specific vehicle.
