Default Which fuses to pull for ABS?

After suspension install yesterday at least one of my ABS sensors is dirty or otherwise messed up. Unfortunately, I really don't have time to clean the ABS sensors until this weekend and I really can't bare to drive it like this, its exceedingly annoying and I'm worried it might be damaging to the ABS system to have it running so constantly.

The question: ABS is controlled by 3 fuses
#7: ABS
#16: ABS and ASR
#41: ABS
Do I need to remove all three fuses, or can i keep the #16 fuse which controls ASR as well? Will this have any negative effects and can I just pop these fuses back in once i get the chance to check my ABS sensors? Thanks in advance.

Default All this info is from my S4 experience, but..

Lots of people pull the #7 fuse to disable EDL for drag racing, this also disables ABS. When I pull the fuse, the ABS light comes on in the dash.
