[s-cars] Questions about ABS disable switch installation (pagingFred Munro...)

[Ned Ritchie]

Agreed.  

The cars at Audi's driving schools have an added push button switch
hidden behind the cover and up against the cover where on some cars
there are the fuses.  

The instructor would come over open your door and nonchalantly lean on
the end of the dash pushing the button to tell you how you did on the
last exercise.  Then he would say we are going to do the same exercise
with ABS off.  No one would ever figure how they controlled the ABS.  

I knew because I hired Freddy as a private instructor the previous day.

'92 S4's came with the switch from the factory. I think you can also
pull the fuse of the ABS controller to defeat the ABS system.
