Disable tpms light on cluster ? Please read

Hi all, ok this is the situation first. My cluster went on the fritz and i bought a used one off ebay. (caused dome light to randomly come on and off as well as same thing with the brake light). Anyways i did some research and searching for compatibility in swapping clusters, my truck is an 06 f150 5.4 chrome package. The cluster i bought was ffrom 07-08 but the look identical. Anyways i hook it up and everything works fine, all gauges warning lights everything. The only problem is that i have a tire pressure light on that flashes and stays steady. My 06 wasent even equipt with the tpms system, not sure how it even has power for the indicator light now. I know from what i been reading that its "illegal" / dealer wont turn it off, but for me its really doing no good just an annoyance since i dont have tpms. My question is is there a way on the cluster i can make it go out, i realize there is no bulb for the warning lights like in older vehicles or maybe a wire that feeds to it? Or possibly something i can do to the circuit board to make it stop? Maybe someone has a cluster schematic? Thanks for help.

You could always try the old school method for the check engine light, and the clock on the VCR blinking - cover it with black electrical tape so you don't see it.....
Just kidding, parts are year specific for some and ranges for others. Might want to get the right one and sell the one you have in there. Circuit boards are touchy when you try to disable part of one. It might work 9 out of 10 times, but that 10th time will make you real sorry you tried. Usually the 10th one is actually try number 1!
