How to diable C5 instrument cluster warning lights? Hey guys! I am installing the C5 Z06 cluster into my Datsun 280Z with LS6 and was wondering what the easiest (or only) way to turn off the traction control, ABS and air bag warning lights in this cluster? Is it simply a matter of taking the cluster apart and taking out those bulbs or is the way to add power/ground to turn them off? Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that cluster also has messages scroll across the DIC. So just pulling bulbs won't fix that part. The cluster is programmed to expect a state of health message from the SDM (air bag module), the EBCM (ABS), and others. If it doesn't get that state of health message on the data line, it displays a message. I'm sure some hacker could recode the cluster, but I don't think there is an easy way of doing it as it was designed to work in a c5 with all of those modules hooked up. Tuners like hptuners and efi live can only change the ECM and TCM.
