Talking Fuse for TPMS

Hi,
Have to replace my wheels and tires for the winter. My new tires and wheels will NOT have the TPMS in the valves. Do not want low pressure light on all the time. Can it be turned off, or a fuse removed??? Any Ideas???

STF...pretty sure the answer is no...Easy fix, remove the bulb. Easier fix, black touch paint blended onto the light covering...

I found a fuse in the fuse box that works the tire pressure monitor - unfortunately it also controls the roof light, trunk light and horn.

Remember that old bumper sticker?

"Horn broken. Watch for finger!"
