I’m not aware of any problems that will occur from taking out the ABS fuse and running around that way. We’ve had some customers who couldn’t come up with the cash for the 1000 dollar EBCM….(can’t say I blame them) and did exactly what you are suggesting. You just don’t have ABS braking capability. Your base brakes will work normally. Ian

My ABS modulator is out in my 99 silverado. $1000 to fix. Pump motor says on all the time. Have searched for posts and found many. My question is can I drive it safely with the ABS fuse pulled without risking damaging the truck in any way? The GMC dealership in my town told me that doing so would damage the transmission, saying the ABS and trans shared information and the trans would not shift properly. Thanks, Chuck
