I was just thinking about this because I need to tightening my rear E-brakes, and I enjoying running rocky inclines adn therefore declines. I have steel bumpers, but I'm curious if they are great enough to stop the airbags, or if the traditional nanny switching wiring is sufficient for the task?

Nanny switch does not kill the airbags.

It's not something I take lightly. These things saves thousands of lives a year. I feel I'm a bit more incompetent If I should have a switch to turn them off in sketchy though generally safe areas. Maybe I have a switch fetish! lol

While I do most of my off-roading crawling around the rocks at slow speeds, I have not seen airbags deploy while wheeling. It is my understanding that airbags will not deploy below a certain MPH (maybe 10 MPHish?).

if you are In a collision that is sufficient to deploy the airbags, does it really matter if you hit a boulder, tree or light post ?

As a severely specialized (methodology, not product based) civil engineer my mind races what these engineers deem sufficient for impact, or where they deem their sensors to be reliablie for impact. Engineers who play at the rules of the NTSB aren't following what you and I do in our jeeps offroad. Thus why I inquire.

I am having a hard time understanding what you asking or possibly stating so I am going to politely bow out of this thread.

More useful is the switch that kills the accelerometer that controls the ABS and BLD system. It’s an easy mod and well worth the time.

I'm listening. You got a link to more info for me to read upon?

Here yah go. I’ve done this one and it works. If you ever have wheel speed sensor issues or steering wheel not on center issues for any reason, just flip the switch and away you go.

There is another way to do it by finding the wire in the harness under the dash, but I haven’t tried that one.

This is what I'm referring to by "Nanny Switch" switch in my Thread Title. Thanks though

And really it's a bit of a PIA for someone like me, who insists on soldering wire connections. There is basically zero slack in the wire down there so you're soldering is tight. But people happy with butt connectors, this is a very simple and quick mod, and honestly not a bad area to have to use a butt connector.

 

[Leadnut]

I pretty sure I soldered it, the only other way I would do it is crimp connectors and I’m pretty sure there was no room for a crimp tool. It’s was several years ago and zero issues. I was in the mud and had a wheel speed sensor malfunction (not related to the mud) that caused engine power to cut off and it was not fun. As soon as I got back from the trip I installed this ESP killswitch.

Hell that's a reason good as any to have one installed. I'd love a switch for everything.

 

[gobi_rubi]

I crimped a male and female end on the wires and then attached them to a NC relay activated by my switch. I figured that way if I ever wanted to remove the switch I could just plug the male and female ends back together

Will this work on a '17 JKU?

 

[JeepJeepBeepBeep]

Anyone happen to know what voltage this circuit runs on?

12V
A switch good for a couple amps will do fine.
