Default Deactivating ABS via a switch???

I want to have the ability to turn ABS on and off so if I have that urge to play around I can turn it off but for normal conditions keep it on. Is it just a matter of putting a switch inline with the power wire for the ABS brain? If so, where can I tap into this wire?

BTW, I have a 95 Civic EX (P28 ECU). Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is bad for the car, but while you are driving, engage the parking brake one click. After about 20-30 seconds, the ABS light on the dash should come on, indicating that the sytem is not working. I have tried this once before, and sure enough... the brakes will lock up on you.

Is there a way to add a switch to the ABS sensor? Someone else said you could but he didn't specify where to tap into it.

this is what you can do.

theres like a 40 amp fuse near the abs pump. take out the fuse. get a circuit breaker or a switch that is the same as the fuse that you jus took out. hook up a wire to the battery and wire it to one end of the switch. then get another wire hook it up to the other side of the switch and connect it to where the fuse was. make sure that wire is connected to the abs pump side. should work if you can understand me. i wish i had a picture to show you.
