How to disable 2018 Nissan Patrol Super safari traction control

Thanks a Lot!

Reviving this topic since i started messing around with my Patrol.

I have been looking for the best way to disable the following (in one go):

1. Traction Control

2. ESP 

3. ABS

Since i have seen kill switches being installed by some so called "reputable" workshops in an absolute horrendous way, i am looking for a clean setup that i can do myself.

So far i have been disabling Traction control by using the button on the center console. and the ESP by pushing in the little button on the brake pedal (thanks @Imteeaz for sharing this).  It is however a bit annoying that whenever you go to 4Lo or restart the engine you need to do the same procedure.

Now the next step is to get the ABS disabled too. There are indeed a couple of fuses in the engine bay which could be removed but i'd rather not do that.

After some small research i found there is a small 7.5 Amp mini-fuse in the fusebox underneath the steering wheel. If i remove that i noticed Traction control, ESP, and ABS all disabled in one go ! But weirdly enough speedometer stops working, and the odometer does not count anymore.... so that basically means my offroad miles are not being counted 😆

Next step will be to obtain something like this from Amazon:

or this:

And inbetween the red wires a small switch. That should hopefully work.

If anyone has more experiences or other tricks/hacks please so share them.

That's great @Frederic, so when you plan to sell the car, you can simply mention "never gone off-road"
