Default Traction Control Light Removal?

Hey I am going to be selling my car and I have an ABS problem that makes itself evident every time you slow to a stop. So I am going to pull the ABS fuse to mask the problem. Of course then I have an ABS light that is always on (which I can get rid of by removing the bulb). But then also the TC light is on (the button that is). How would I go about removing the bulb that is behind the button? Anybody know?

why dont you just unplug the harness so that the button isnt active....it pulls out pretty easy just get a good grip on it....

That's so wrong to mask the problem...unless ur trading it in at a dealership, then screw em!

Whats the difference between doing it when I trade it in at a dealership and when I sell it privately? Either way it will end up in somebody else's hands.....

That will disengage traction control? Or just the light? I guess I could just put a piece of black tape over the back of the button huh?

if u disconnect the harness from the plug, tc will be enabled (wheels wont spin) so if the guy hits the switch and no light comes on the he will know somethings wrong

Traction control won't work anyway I guess since I am pulling the ABS fuse.
