Has anyone actually disabled there ABS-ESP fully? If so why and what happened? Were you able to re-engage? TIA

What are you really asking? It does become disabled if various systems go bad. The obvious stuff is a bad brake light switch, steering angle sensor, wheel speed sensor/magnetic ring, yaw sensor, etc. You need a scanner that does MB specific codes to find out why ESP might be getting disabled.

Otherwise if you actually want to know how to disable ABS-ESP on purpose, can't really help you there.

only way to truly disable is unplugging your speed sensor (drove like that while tracking down a bad ground it’s a lot of fun gives the car a whole new feel)

or put in dyno mode. But I don’t recommend

I have the programming steps to disable the ABS-ESP. (My purpose is to do some testing) I'm asking if anyone has disabled the ABS-ESP and what is there experience and how easy to enable?

its pretty damn easy to unplug a sensor and then plug it back in when youre done testing. easier than navigating through the programming.
