Another ABS and Brake Light Question

[pcantin]

Hi, all.

I have searched the forum, but haven't found what I need.

I have a 2000 Protege that is used only for small trips in town (used very seldom). After starting the car after a long period of sitting, both the ABS and the brake light came on and stayed on. Based on what I have read, it is most likely a wheel sensor.

Anyway, I have no desire to fix the ABS system and would rather disable the whole thing. I know I can pull out the fuse under the hood, but how do I get the ABS and brake light to go out? I tried resetting the ECU, but the lights are still on.

The brakes work fine without the ABS (I have all new brake components and the fluid is fine). I just want those lights to go away.

I guess I can open the dash and physically remove the lights, but there must be a way to reset the fault codes (without the use of a code reader).

Thanks for any help on this.

the lights won't go away unless you pull the bulbs. Even if you reset it it will still appear to the system that it isn't working correctly so they will come back on
