got the dreaded annual mot tomorrow and the only thing thats bugging me is my abs light should i just remove the bulb and pull the fuse or spend all afternoon trying to sort it out?
 
abs light is constantly on since fitting a new sensor taapped it in but cant get the bloody light off ,(its a 1994 disco es auto) and as im not too clever am struggling to find out where to do the paper clip trick to see what other fsults there are
 
Please find below an extract of the MOT testers handbook re ABS and the warning lamp

Information

This ABS inspection applies to all systems fitted as 'standard', and to 'optional' systems fitted.
When testing vehicles that have ABS fitted the road wheels should not be allowed to rotate clear of the standing surface with the ignition on as this can cause the ABS system to indicate a fault which may require specialist equipment to rectify

Missing components

Where a vehicle is presented for test with an ABS component obviously missing but, follows the correct sequence of operation, the defect must be brought to the attention of the presenter.

Method of Inspection

If the vehicle is fitted with an anti-lock braking system, check that

a. a warning lamp is fitted
b. the lamp illuminates
c. the lamp follows the correct sequence of operation
d. does not indicate a fault.

Reason for rejection

Note: The sequence varies with the type of system. Refer to VSI, the manufacturers or other reliable data, eg purpose produced charts, books, etc. 1. The warning lamp

a. is missing
b. does not illuminate
c. does not follow the correct sequence of operation
d. indicates an ABS fault.

Here are a couple of very useful shortcuts to help fix it
