Default how to disconnect abs?

hi. i have an a4 ts quattro -00 and i want to disconnect my abs-system for the vintertime. i have tryed to pull the fuse and that works but i cant stand al of the beeping and consistant warning on the display.
is ther a better way to do this or can i go to v.a.g and have them whipe out the warnings?
later on i want to put in a switch so i can turn on or off the abs whenever i like.

thank you

Why the hell would you want to do that?
Are you trying to total your car so you can get a new one or something?
Nothing like sliding out of control and not being able to stop.

Its possilbe, but I really wouldn't recommend it.. I've disconnected mine before, and blocked out the lights, but the beep still remained.

i couldn't tell ya which wire sry. im thinking if u have the car off but the key in the on position, the abs light comes on. i forget, does it stay on? well if it does stay on, it means the module is getting power so u can get a volt meter and test each wire to see which one is the power one. that might work. however there is a wire that goes to the ABS pump. that wire might work. sry im not an abs specialist yet
