4x4 light disabling

[copracr]

I took the motor off my transfer case and I'm gonna replace with a shiftster, so is there a simple way of disabling the flashing 4x4 lights?

I'm gonna pull the cluster to swap out some bulbs so I could just pull those bulbs out, but I thought it would be nice to disable whatever module it is so its not draining power (although it's probably not enough to even care about).

I was also wondering if anyone locks in thier front hubs and just leaves them that way? When I got my truck the ESOF never did work and I found out I was running around with the front hubs engaged for a few thousand miles. When I disengaged them I really didn't notice any difference in driving or mileage. Any harm you think in leaving them locked?

When I had a 4x4 My hubs were locked all winter long. highway driving and all. There was no negative effect on my truck. Come spring I unlocked them unless 4wd was needed.

Well in 01 they went to a live axle setup and didn't change the T-case, so it shouldn't kill it.

I'll lock and unlock the transfer case, but the hubs I want to leave engaged. I think I'll give it a try

I just took my shift motor out today due to it not letting me out of 4lo. I could not find a fuse that didn't effect something else that would kill those lights. If you find something, be sure to let me know...
