Like I said - deep sloppy slush over hardpack. With ABS all 4 wheels
start to slide and they release - and you keep on going. The brakes
come back on, slip and release. Fifty feet later you are still sliding
like a toboggan. Wirh no ABS the wheels stop turning and the tread
gets a chance to bite down through the slop and at least one tire
finally grabs pavement. You might slide towards the curb a bit untill
the tire(s)grab(s) but you CAN release the brakes and regain control.
Just takes a bit of brains.
Can't heal and toe slide a FWD vehicle with ABS either - which is a
handy way of getting control of a skid. Lock the back wheels enough to
get them sliding while burning power through on the front(driving)
wheels to pull you through. Used to do it a lot when rallying the old
R12. First learned it on the Mini. No need to use the parking brake
(which on too many cars is pedal operated and unuseable for this
application) to get the rear end to slide out (induced overstear).

There is no warranty on a 1995 Caravan with 89,0000 miles for the ABS
system. My reason to disable the system is that it is not working
correctly and the estimated bill for repairs is $1500.00.

What do you mean it isn't working properly??? This makes no sense at all. If
the ABS is NOT working properly.....then it isn't working at all, therefore
you have a base braking system anyhow!!! Why would you want to remove
something that wont effect the way the vehicle stops unless it is needed???
But your right, it is a dumb question. What is wrong with the vehicle?

Got an '06 Grand Caravan, my first vehicle with ABS .... I HATE IT!!!

With a perfect driving record for 20 years, this ABS caused my first accident ... about 6 inches of snow ... all the brake pedal was vibrate under my foot, and the van just kept on going.

After reading this, that fuse is disappearing tomorrow.... thanks everybody
