    Can't you just take ya dash out and take the bulb out? No bulb = No light on!
    Sorry i can't help anymore than that. I understand your frustation as I have the same problems when asking questions on here.

    You won't be able to put a resistor in I'm afraid as the unit is looking for pulses rather than resistance.

    Take your clock out, wire your abs light to your oil light, this way it will illuminate when you turn on ignition then go out. They can fail you if you just take the bulb out.

    If you remove the whole system you will need a 4 port master cylinder, then you will need to change the brake pipes to suit.

    I'm binning my abs this week, I picked up a 23mm 4 port master cylinder from a 406, then I can get my 283mm brakes on.
