It's up for state inspection soon. I'm happy to live without ABS on this car. Is there something simply I can do that just takes the system offline so that the lamp won't illuminate?
I swapped out the OVP relay a while back. I should probably also swap out the ABS relays since it's easy and cheap.
Years ago I bought a 300SDL from a guy who somehow deleted ABS...but I forget how he did it.
Thanks.

If they are doing their jobs the inspector is going to turn the key to the first piston and see if all of the lights including the ABS light come on. so that circuit needs to be intact.
For their rest of it someone needs to study the wiring diagrams and actually understand how it works.
I have other cars. If it was me, I would put the Mercedes on non-op which is exactly what my Merced's is on right now and fix it right later.
At some point in time everyone's Mercedes may get too expensive to fix.
