Default ABS line cut

While out crawling around the woods, a large branch got under my JK and cut my ABS and ESP lines. I tried twisting them back together to see if the lights on the dash would go out and they didn't. I went to a dealer asking if they sell a replacement line and he looked at me like I had 10 heads. Anyone ever have to replace an ABS line? This is on the passenger side rear .

I havent ever damaged one. You will have those lights until you fix it though. I imagine with one disabled, if you are ever in a situation where your ESP would kick in, you will have problems because it is unable to send a signal to that wheel brake. I highly recommend you disconnect all 4 of them to avoid only having a 3 wheel ESP activation would could cause an accident. I am not sure if having one damaged DISABLES the system completely or not. They are easy to disconnect however. The front connections are hiding right behind the coil spring mount.
