Hello all. For those not familiar, the LR3/RRS/LR4 have been known to suffer from EPB failure. My truck currently has a flashing EPB failure light and it drives me absolutely mad to the point where I've placed a business card in front of the speedometer to block the light. I really don't want to change out the actuator as I've heard it's a PITA and the parts are relatively expensive. Given the somewhat budget nature of this build (It has 172k miles and has been beat to ******* - I'm never going to achieve perfection or even close to that), I was wondering if anyone has experience with eliminating the EPB altogether and clearing the flashing red light. I do have a GAP tool however, I have yet to transfer over the licence and haven't been able to explore all the capabilities. Has anyone successfully removed the EPB system/cleared the lights without replacing the actuator? There are old threads covering this all over the internet, but I have yet to find one where someone breaks down the procedure or states if its actually possible. Most threads on this specific topic/method seem to go cold without updates.
Before everyone tells me that I shouldn't deactivate it, it's worth noting that I live in Florida (Completely flat and without annual inspection) and this is primarily an off-road/trail rig which will not see much duty outside of weekend trips, so a functioning parking brake isn't really an issue for me.
