Baer383's fix (removing the fuse) is super easy and non-permanent...

Pulling the fuse is pretty easy, but still not as easy as snipping the wire. If you have no reason to ever reactivate the SLU, why not snip the wire? It's out of sight and can be repaired if necessary (although that's a job I wouldn't want to do in such cramped quarters). Personally, I don't like taking such drastic measures as cutting wires on a new car so I pulled the fuse, but that's just me.

Cutting the wire is not the best fix, IMNSHO, but I find it difficult to argue with success.
