I just want to ride my car with the top down at least a few times this summer ,
Is there a way to disconnect the ABS light so the code does not read it , ?????

I think Waybomb offered some good advice.
Here's the deal, Jubie. You have a simple sensor mounted to your left-front wheel (picture). When the wheel rotates, this sensor sends a signal to the control module for your ABS brakes. The ABS module processes this signal and sends an output to the control module for your convertible top over the wire that you mention. The top uses this signal to inhibit operation when the vehicle is in motion.
Since your ABS light is on, it's a pretty good guess that there is nothing wrong with your convertible top system. If I am right, you have an ABS problem that is keeping the ABS module from passing the signal to the top controller.
There is no simple way to bypass this signal from the ABS controller to allow the top to operate. Besides, for safety reason, you really ought to correct the ABS problem.
To get an idea of what your ABS problem may be, I have a question. When you turn the key on, the ABS and other indicator lights in your instrument cluster come on. Once the engine starts, they turn-off. Does the ABS light turn-off too (and then come on when you start driving), or does it never turn-off?
