pulsating brakes

I put a 12 bolt rear in my ws6, and unfortunately it didn't have the ring for abs. my car has abs, but no tcs. so the ring would have to be installed on the carrier. instead of that, I just unplugged the pickup sensor. now I have a abs light on the dash, which is fine, but when I hit the brakes hard, they pulsate. not like warped rotor pulsation, but almost like the abs is acting funny... did I miss something when I lost my abs?

Try pulling the fuse to completely disable the ABS.

get rid of all that abs stuff altogether too...the bias front/rear is now all messed up...like 50/50...your rear brakes can lock up on you easy now....not a fun experience...

Thats weird. When I put my 9" in my brakes work fine with no abs. Fuses id say pull all of them. For the abs light I just opened up the cluster and broke the light off.
