abs unit
 

Hi there i just recently bought a 2002 protege5 and i just HATE the feeling when the abs system takes the control of my brake pedal can someone tell me where it is so i could get rid of it fast ?
Thanks to everyone.

You can't really get rid of it without changing the entire brake hydraulic system over to non-abs. If you really dislike it that badly then just remove the 60 Amp fuse for the system in the under hood fuse box near the battery. Your ABS and BRAKE lights will probably both be on all of the time but that should effectively disable the system.

I tried to remove the fuse but as you said the light is on after that. On my last car (honda prelude 93) the honda mechanic told me to remove the entire unit to solve the light problem. I did so and my car was abs-free after that. I tought that i might try the same this time and that's why i wanted to know where the unit is located.

Now I see what you are after. I thought you wanted to remove the hydraulic portion of the system which is close to impossible. I think you are wanting to disconnect the computer that controls the system. Am not sure but the light should not illuminate if the control module is not connected. The module is part of the hydraulic unit and is down below the battery area on the left inner fender. Will post a drawing of location as well as how to disconnect connector. To disconnect you will see a locking lever on the side of the connector. Just pull that lever away from the connector and will pop right out. Picture may show better than explanation.
