Default Abs light after removal.

Alright guys just removed my a.b.s tonight as its about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
Anyway is there anyway of getting light off without taking bulb out on the dash.must be able to solder something in to the sensors or something?

It takes about 5 mins to get the cluster out and remove the bulb. At least you know its done and dusted that way

I do believe I read that correct ABS light operation (On at ignition, on with handbrake light) was coming in to MOT's. Anyway, all you need to do is unplug the ABS belt sensors and bridge the wires left over. Et voila! Perfect ABS light operation. That's how mine was done.

an abs light has to operate correctly to pass an mot, however if you remove all the abs components and not just remove the belts then it is a pass
