    Disabling the flashing hand brake/brake pressure warning light

    I have no desire to fix it, just to disable (especially the clicking). If I pull the bulb will the clicking go away too?

    Ron, it sounds like a bad ground, and as long as the bulb is there, you will hear clicking. Taking out the bulb should eliminate the clicking, if that is problem.
    You can try then to clean the ground, put back in the bulb, and clicking should have stopped. Using the wiring diagrams will help to follow what's what.
    Here are the wiring diagrams (courtesy of sherwood lee ;-)
