I've been having issues with my ABS activating at low speeds off and on. Instead of looking for the problem when its -5 degrees outside, I thought I would just pull the fuse to deactivate the system and fix it in spring.
I pulled the ABS fuse and it deactivated more than the ABS system. The speedometer stopped working. I drove around the block and sure enough, the odometer wasn't logging any new mileage. Being the ethical person I am, I replaced the fuse so I had a working speedometer (and odometer).
Theoretically, you could pull your ABS fuse and run up the miles without logging them on the odometer. Why would Ford design something like this???
