My break lights have been flickering on and off, then when I pull up to a stoplight/sign, it will on occasion start kicking in with the ABS. I know absolutely nothing about vehicles but I need to know if there's a way to disable it, turn it off, anything! It's really scary when it starts doing that.

It sounds like you might have a couple of problems here. I Do Not recommend disabling the ABS system, but if you must do this here you go. Open the hood and look on the upper side of the left fender area for a big aluminum unit with brake pipes and electrical connectors going to it. This is the ABS controller and valve assembly. To disable just unplug the connectors and you will disabled it. It might keep the orange warning light on the dash on, but it is disabled. The regular brakes will work fine unless there is a problem inside the ABS valves which is pretty rare. If your rear brake lights are flickering when you apply the brakes, then you might be having a brake switch on the pedal or wiring problem which is a separate issue. Personally I would fix the light problem and get the ABS module scanned to see what codes are stored if any and go from there. The brake switch is an input to the ABS so these could be related. Good luck.

the reason that the ABS is going off at stop signs is cause of the wheel speed sensors getting rust between it and the hub making the gap between the sensor and reluctor ring to big. you can have the sensors cleaned and it will work just fine or if you really want it disabled than go under the hood, on the LH side (drivers) you will see next to the fender a larger aluminum block with wires and tubes coming off it. This is the ABS module and valve assembly. Unplug the wires from it and the ABS won't work and the light won't come on either. As for the brake lights flickering on, sounds like the brake light switch is miss adjusted.

You definitely have a brake problem. You cant disable. Look under the passenger seat and you will see a little black box. That is the vehicle brain, so to speak. If you try to disconnect any safety devices on your car, the computer will shut down your car.

do not even think of disabling ABS, take the vehicle to a certified repair shop they will run a kind of scanner on it and they will determine what is really behind this deficiency.
think twice before you disable the ABS, u would be committing suicide.

I am not sure you wanna disable ABS.
You should get a brake inspection. Maybe you have worn brakes or need fluid.
Check the fluid. If you have to add, it's probably leaking somewhere.

Disabling ABS on a car will most likely damage the breaking system and well to put it bluntly...you'll die because you messed with the brakes of your car.

Simple, open the fuse box and pull the fuse for the ABS computer. Once that's done, no more ABS.
