NO NO NO !!!
Don't do this !!!
If you pull the fuse, you will lose the Electronic Brake Force Distribution, and when you step on the brake all of your wheels will lock up INSTANTLY!
I had, the exact same problem in april or so. I pulled the ABS fuse, the small one under the dash, not the main one close to the battery, and now everything is great. Also ABS is now off, but I can finally drive, the only drawback is the ABS light is on.
99 and up use the ABS computer instead of a proportioning valve. If you pull the ABS fuse, your rear brakes will lock up easily and could cause a tail spin. Listen to RoadRunner!
Older models had mechanical proportioning valves and you could disable ABS without consequence except no ABS.
You could have a bad sensor, you could have a low tire. If one tire is low or worn significantly more than another, the ABS would sense the rotational speed difference and come on.
Check tire pressure and wear first, then look at sensors and connections. FWIW
