Just a smart allick answer, remove the bulb. This is not my normal response to a persons question, but it does fit. The truck has been altered so why not?

2 thoughts about it (haven't tryed it yet though). THere's an RABS controller block, which can be disconnected, and there's another RABS unit on the frame, which can be "bypassed" with some custom brake line adapter. In this case i think nothing will affect the breaking.

I can't remember exactly now. It looks like a black box about 1 inch high, 6-7 wide and 4 deep.. WIth a sticker "made in Mexico" on it . I'll try to make a picture of it this evening.
