I purchased this vehicle three years ago from a friend of mine and it was working absolutely fine.
Recently I have Stared hearing a crack voice when I slow down using the breaks and the light of abs turn on.
I changed the pads and plates for the breaks but that dose not help.
Please could advice me what to do?
Should I change the ABS Pumps
Thank you

No don't change any parts until it is scanned for codes to see what is wrong with ABS. It can be asensor bad, rust etc. Check for broken rust pieces by sensor as they are magnetic and will throw a code as rust will stick to it. But get it scanned first to see what problem is.

That's because when your remove the abs fuse it no longer works as abs. Have this scanned for codes there is no way around it your reflexes are not faster than an abs unit. If it's a bumpy road it may effect the way abs works. Something is activating the abs that is why it is juddering like you call it.
