Default Is there a way to turn the ABS light off?

My control module is bad, as well as a couple of the ABS sensors. I dislike ABS anyway, so short of replacing the module and the sensors, is there a way to trick the ECU into thinking all is fine and dandy? all I desire is to have the pesky flashing light turned off..the brakes work fine otherwise...
The car is a 98 v6 5speed.

thanks!

Tear the dash apart and take the bulb out? Just a thought...

Not to change the subject, but will the ABS light go off by itself once the problem is fixed, or do you have to reset something? I think I might of messed up my abs sensor during my wheel bearing change. my ABS & Brake light are on steady (no flashing).

vag com can turn it off. don't try the bending sensor unless you know which one is broken and you can take it out.
