ABS Problem, to fix or not to fix?

[MIK1989]

I bought the car with ABS light on. So I went to check what's wrong to the dealership.
The dealership diagnosed that the ABS actuator needs to be replaced, and the price for that is $4200 CAN.
I don't have that much money, and I wouldn't pay this amount if I could.

Is there any other way to fix this problem. May be I can buy the actuator and try to put it myself? How much would the part cost?

Or may be choose alternative solution:
1. Forget about ABS and just remove bulb from dashboard light, so I don't see it. Will the malfunctioning abs eventually do damage to some other parts.
2. Remove ABS from the car. What is the process of doing that?

I don't think anyone is going to advise to remove ABS system. I did a small search for remanufactured and found this:

Looks like they want to quote rather than post price. Maybe try wrecker as well. I'd get a second opinion. Did dealership quote separate parts and labor?

You can probably found one for about $100 USD near you.

Alright, so the best option would be to buy part online and install it myself, or may be give it to mechanic to install.

I have traction control on my car. Do I need ABS actuator with TRAC or without TRAC?

Black electrical tape about $1 for the cheap stuff,
cut about a 1" square piece and cover the abs light with it.

$4200CAN lol.........
