ABS didn't work on the car, so to simplify things I have removed it. I purchased a non-ABS brake master cylinder and have made hardlines. I unplugged the ABS ECU from the drivers rear quarter.

This is on a 1990 Nissan 240SX.

My question is, can I just cut the plug/wiring out from where it branches off the main harness, heat shrink the ends, and leave it at that?

Or is it interconnected to other things, i.e. it acts as a shared ground. To remedy the ground issue, would that mean just taking the ground wire and hooking it up, and cutting everything else.

Eventually I'd like to strip it out of the entire harness, but thats a project for another day.

Also the 3 plugs in the engine bay that plug into the acctuator, can these be cut as well, same plan as above?

I appreciate any help or advice!

cheers
