Yep you can pull the fuse. Some people also have had luck with pulling up the e-brake one click and it turns them off. In my experience this just lights up the red brake light on the dash so the fuse works for sure.

And that fuse would be fuse #2 in the fuse panel box by the battery.

Merry Christmas!!!

I did the mod where you pull the relays that activate the drl's, pull off the covers and put a non-conductive (paper) material to eliminate them.

Sounds like a lot of work.....WAS NOT.....15 minutes.....and you retain ALL of the approach features that you will lose if you just pull the #2 fuse.
