3 amigos mod holding up so far
Finally got tired of seeing the 3 lights on the dashboard. Did the mod and it was pretty simple.
I used a block of wood to keep the ABS modulator in a position to remove the 3 small allen bolts.
Clip the 2 wires on shuttle valve. Drill 2 holes and wire in the 3 wires to the clipped wires.
Reinstall shuttle valve and mount the modulator back.
Ground one of the wires to the bolt right next to the modulator, doesn't matter which one.
Other wire goes to the yellow/green wire in the wire bundle. You can just tuck in the clipped yellow/green wire feeding towards the bundle plug as it's dead now.
Here's a good pic of the wiring.

Nicely done,
One thing I recommend while the work is being done is to check for any oil seeping under the switch boots if there was even a hint of oil inside the plastic when removed. Really clean on the wiring you did. You shouldn't have any more issues though. Now it's time to enjoy your light free dash!

What's the backstory here? 3 Amigos?! Is that slang for 1 ABS warning light or do you have 3 simultaneous warning lights?
Also, is the "fix" such that the ABS keeps working and no warning lights appear on dash or what?
...and is the "fix" a wiring stub that you buy or are you just grounding existing OEM wiring?

Replacing the ABS modulator and shuttle valve switch fixes most Disco three amigos issues. The parts are not all that expensive. Surprised the Moderator allows step-by-step instructions for modifying factory ABS functionality which is an important safety feature on our trucks.
I think this mod is ill advised - my .02 cents.
