The harness or cut the wire: the best solution by far.

On another "for real" thread, there's regrets about the harness 50 USD.

I would not suggest a DIY-er go anywhere near the IPDM area or its fuses.
Lifting it out spells problems for amateurs. Wiring disconnects or shorts, or simple fatigue without great gentle care, can cost a fortune.

"fuse" sounds great but they are not at all easy to get at amidst a maze of wiring and relays. The IPDM is "not serviceable" (fuses apart) is expensive, and your dealer may ask embarassing questions about a missing fuse at the heart of your electrical systems.

Further you can change nothing without much work and interference with the IPDM, but can change everything in minutes with a cut wire, especially on a harness.
