Norge ABS switch question, what happens if I jump the leads?
« on: April 26, 2024, 12:07:07 PM »
It's is a momentary switch (spring-loaded pushbutton), what happens if I just jump the wires to each other? Or leave one wire disconnected? In trying to re-install my dash and connect this switch, I disconnected the soldered connection on 1 wire.  :angry: :violent1: I have no opinion right now on whether I want/don't want ABS, and I have ZERO patience to try to re-solder the connection, so what happens if I don't? Is there a dis-connect to this button somewhere farther along the 2-lead wire that I don't see, or is it truly terminated @ the button itself?

Asked in a different way: Is it an "open" circuit @ the button at at startup (wires not touching), with the ABS disabled with a touch of the button? If yes, then my current condition of 1 wire dangling free should have no affect on what the ECU sees, I just won't have access to whatever the pushbutton does when pushed. Yes? No?

I think if you just cut and seal off the wires, you just cannot disable the ABS. I’d be inclined to test the switch function with a test lead and a battery out on the bench. Reasoning that if you push the button in, then you close the circuit and it goes live, thus disabling the ABS (until the next startup), then cutting and sealing off the wires will mean you cannot ever render the ABS inactive..
Who cares ?
I think I did that to mine, but I can’t remember.

After reading all the discussions about people wanting to disable or remove the ABS apparatus, it occurred to me: If you don't like ABS, why not just dis-able it (push the button) every time you fire the bike up?

BTW, I plugged the dash back in and turned on the key, no ABS warning lights or anything, so I guess I'll leave it dis-connected.
