Bypassing flashing ABS light?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: neontyper

Hey all. My 92 ABS light started flashing, 51. Thats the thermal fuse code I believe. How can I shut this annoying light off? If I disconnect the bulb or the harness, a series of warning beeps proceed from inside the dash. I need this thing turned off, can I burn out the bulb to keep the circuit complete, or does anyone know a way to get this light off without fixing the problem?

Thanks much

The only safe thing to do is to repair the problem.

Well, fixing the problem is obviously best. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the anti-lock function sorta optional? I mean, there's thousands of cars out there with perfectly functioning brakes that don't have an anti-lock feature.

You said, "correct me if I'm wrong,".

You're wrong.

The anti-lock brake system on your Lincoln Mark VII is not an optional item. If any one part of this system is not working properly, you're at a risk of killing yourself and anyone in the car.

Period.

Heh, heh...I kinda figured somebody would jump in and set me straight pretty quick if I was wrong. Thanks for the correction and now we all know, for sure.
