Default Help ESP/ABS

I want to disable my ESP/ABS on my 08' JK. I also want the lights to be off. I know the dangers of disabling and I'm only doing it temporarily. Can someone tell me how to do this besides the "steering wheel dance" I can't get that crap to work.

Again disable it and turn the lights off. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

As far as I know, adding a kill switch is the only way of doing this. Search for the tutorial on here how to do it, see if it's something you want to take on.

Adding a kill switch will trigger the dash lights any time you flip the switch. After the switch is turned off, the dash lights remain on till you restart the jeep. the traction control Dash light also comes on with the steering wheel dance. In short,, there is no way to disable traction control/esp without the light coming on.

The kill switch is easy enough to install, if you can get use to the dash lights, it really is very worth it to have a kill switch. I use mine all the time in my 07.

Can you point to the direction of the right write-up on the kill switch? I see a few out there, some different than others Lol. Just want to do it the best way.

X2 on the usefulness of the kill switch for slushy roads or fooling around in parking lots. Usually I let the ESP do its thing otherwise.
