and remember the first beep is at 5 seconds, then the second beep is after you let go of the button right after 7 seconds. and a stop watch, or watch is the best way to do it. i couldn't get mine to work until i used a watch.

and I started the jeep in 4 hi, if that matters.

so you had the wheel straight then did the 1 to 11 and from 11 you went to 6 oclock pos? and on the last one where you turn it back to straight you went to where the "jeep" is going up and down not side to side?

jsut trying to get this stuff in my head so i can turn this infernal machine off

Dang someone should do a youtube video on how to turn it off! I would but I am scared I would not be able to turn it back off...

The last turn makes your wheels in the straight forward position. However on mine I went past 12:00 to 3:00 to compensate when I let the wheel go after I turned off the motor. Does that make sense?

I could not get it to work either on my 08 untill I used the second hand on my laptop's clock. I got the double beeps to the right and one to the left. I didn't get the last beep with the stearing wheel straight. However the esp stays off now just as it should.

No, it is only partially off. If you want to fully disable it, instructions should be in your manual.

Why does everyone want to permanently disable the ESP? I have a 2008 and I can turn it on or off whenever I want
