Hello all.

On slight braking and turning left that front side ABS is kicking on a little making it a little unsafe. I know this is an issue typically caused by dirt getting under the mount of the sensor into the hub and making a bad connections. Right now I have the ABS fuse pulled to stop the issue.
Can I just unplug that side harness and the turning/abs on the wheel kicking in will go away?
Right now as it is, when you start the truck all kinds of warning lights go off for 3 minutes upon startup.
I was thinking just unplugging that front side harness would just throw a ABS light and that be it.

I disconnected the harness to the front left side. So now I just get the ABS light. Pulling the fuse to the system made the instrument cluster, go off all crazy with warning lights and ringing chimes for about a minute.

You may want to check the play in your hub bearing usually that is an indication the bearing is starting to acquire excessive play. As you're driving/turning if you have a wheel slipping or the system is receiving false signals and believes a wheel is slipping, the abs system will interact and take control of the situation.

Anytime you have an open circuit or unmatched wheel speed signals for an extended period of time from the sensors those warnings and chimes will go off informing you the system is completely disabled.

Sounds like an awesome fun ride. The connection to your abs sensor is not near the hub op. Its up on the frame near the upper control arm rear bushing/mount.
