I've driven my car for the past 7 years with my 50 amp fuse unplugged. It disables the traction control and antilock brakes, that's all. Everything else works as it should.

The fuse to which he refers is just forward of the battery with two others and is covered with a small black plastic lid. I spoke with Mike just a few months ago and he continues to run his car with the power through that fuse disconnected. The fuses are labeled on the plastic lid. Mikes car has manual transmission.
