Satisfying your car's needs that are represented by those lights might be a good idea...
Failing that there's probably not a specific fuse for each indicator so you might have to pull the cluster and disconnect the offending lamps manually.

Re: sounds like a brake problem, maybe low on fluid....get it checked.
I disconected my ABS on purpose, i found that it interfered too much in winter driving, i just need to know how to disable the dash lights, they are just getting annoying, thats all.

ABS isn't meant to be disconnected, so even if you had VAGcom and erased the code...
the light would come back on until you hooked up the ABS again.
It sounds odd that ABS "interferes" with winter driving; if anything I'd believe it would assist in winter driving.

Agree - ABS is not needed for certain situations but for 80% it is better - especially unforseen one
that hit you when you are not thinking about driving on the edge.
I would hook it back up. Plus if you get in an accident and it is discovered you disconnected the brakes - there are libality issue that could go against you.
