Gentlemen,
thanks for this forum, it has been a wonderful resource for me for the past 15 years or so.
I ordered my ranger direct from ford through a program they had for overseas mil guys to get a new car at basically invoice price, and I have been mercilessly wailing on it ever since. I will say if I could buy this truck new for 22k again, the answer is immediately yes.
Anyhow, the most horrific stock component of this vehicle is the traction control. Sure, it will sorta kinda not really turn off if you push the button and maybe a little bit more turn it off if you hold it, but I want that thing completely off. So far, the only time i experienced it fully off was when I had a throttle position sensor go bad and when i replaced it, a pin pushed out, which got me thinking.
As far as I know, there is no way to software delete the traction control, so I was thinking if i ran a wire with a toggle in the cab to disconnect the ABS sensor in the rear diff, would this disable both ABS and TC? And has anyone on this forum found a way to permanently disable traction control, without also disabling ABS?
