Your best bet is not to disable or cover up the light but to read or get your ecu read by vcds to find what the code is so you can correct the problem.

I fixed a beetle not long ago with an abs light on it was the #9 fuse if I remember correctly.

Here is the recommended computer program to accurately diagnose all problems related to your car. The $199 version works perfectly.

If you want to test all the bulb locations; you can run the speedo cluster test mode with vcds (it will light up all the icons, the sounds will activate and sweep the gauges).

Which can be done with the cluster still in the car.

If your abs light or any light is on that means the car is trying to tell you something is wrong.

With vcds go to the brake module and read the codes. Post those codes here, somebody has had those codes before and may be able to offer some help/advice.

My wife’s beetle just had an airbag light pop on. With vcds it tells me which bag/connection is causing the light. I plan on sorting that issue this weekend.

I’ve had her 01 cluster apart, there are no replaceable bulbs as such. Everything is soldered to the cluster board.
