TPS light

Hello. I had the computer programmed to supposedly override the tps system so I wouldn't need the sensors in my aftermarket wheels but the light stayed on. Just wondering if anyone has ever just cut the wire going to the warning light so I dont have to see it on all the time. Not sure if this is even possible but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any info.

I don’t know if you can clip just a wire, maybe remove the bulb?

I just figured maybe a wire fed the bulb but then again it probably is a circuit board. I wonder how hard it is to get to that bulb.

I’ve been thinking about it, just don’t want to dig that far in for a light, if changing the stereo out then it would be a while I’m here type thing.

The ukl

I've had the stereo out a few times so that's easy. The light on constantly especially at night is really annoying. It would be worth taking it apart if I can get that light out.
