How urgent is it to get fixed? Could this also be a reason for my abs light to be on?

not urgent in my opinion these wires can not be repaired for they have a special shielding they are twisted to reduce interfernce in the signal, and for the abs yes this will cause the light and its not a necessity but i dnt like any warning lights on in my car

So at this point it can not be fixed? Is there a way to get the light to go off? Thank you for your help.

isn't this the wire that plugs into the back of the spindle? If so just plug it back in.

I didnt take a good picture of the bottom of the wire, there is no connector. It must have drag on the ground. Its just two exposed wires now.
