Default ABS/TCS removal

Beside the black tape mod, does anyone know how to remove the ABS and TCS indicator lights when you do the !ABS and !TCS mod?

I heard that some fuses can be pulled but I'm not sure which ones.

I pulled the cluster, figured out which solder points on the back of the board were for those lights, and cut the PCB traces for them.

There's a wire off the module (in the dash) you can ground to resolve this, SJM (a sponsor) knows the one.

I've always wondered what happens if you just disconnect
the TCS "brain" up under the dash. Because non-TCS cars
don't light that light.

I believe it is BCM-controlled however. The BCM gets a signal from the TCS box and then decides what to do with the TCS light in the dash based on that input.

I've heard you can get a BCM out of a non-ABS/non-TCS car, and it will eliminate the lights as well, but I have no idea the other specifics about swapping a BCM.

Sounds like a good idea but the only option I see from GM are BCM's with or without wireless key entry. Nothing with TCS or ABS stuff.

Are there on ABS cars though?
