Default knock sensors tuned out

Been in the navy for over a year now so havent been driving the car much since its back home, question is about a year ago i was having the knock sensors go nuts on me replaced both and the harness twice same problems with no noticable motor issues. So my tuner tuned them out, is that a big deal to have them tuned out like that???????

Yup. Need those knock sensors, they save your engine. Plus they are used to aid in tuning the car.

Tuners can desensitize them, especially if your running a big cam or anything that increases valve train noise.....Never turn them off BAD idea!!

What could have been the problem? i installed to different sets with 2 different wires originally it was the front knock sensor then went ahead changed both then got codes for both while replacing wire harness. replaced them twice!!
