For all of you that have a 1996 5.0L X and want to disable the ABS light (because it is stuck on due to some fault/crappy sensor) the easiest way to do so is to cut the dark green wire (pin 18) on the 4WABS control module (left rear corner of engine compartment). Pulling interior Fuse 11 (7.5A) wont work since the dimmer, radio etc require power. The neat thing with this is that if you still have your ABS enabled the light will still light up when the ABS is activated. If you don’t ever want the light to light than you can cut the wire as above and remove the ABS diode. This should work for most 2nd gen X's but the wire colors and pins may be different so please check.
As for disabling the ABS altogether it looks like the easiest method is to simply pull the 4WABS Pump Relay + cut green wire/pull abs diode. Or Pull engine compartment Fuse 10 (30A) + cut green wire/pull abs diode.
