ABS Light

Having recently replaced one of the rear hubs on my 96 TD xantia with a non ABS type the ABS light is now illuminated on the dash.Is there any way apart from removing the bulb of extingushing this light.This is only a short time solution until I locate a proper hub.Any ideas, RED.

Pull the ABS fuse or relay?

Sorry should have mentioned that with the fuse in place the light only lights after a couple of miles but since I removed the fuse the light is on all the time, very annoying.

Remove the relay then...

Where is the relay?

Removing the relay doesn't work on the xm, not sure about the Xantia though.

It's a green relay under that plastic cover just behind the battery. Depending on the exact fault with the ABS this will either kill the light...or not! Only takes seconds so worth a try.
