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.

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.
