You could just snip the wires and put a dab of paint on the ends, or a tiny piece of shrink tubeing.
Thanks Randy, I just wanted to make sure.

Removing them won't hurt anything. Just make sure the former wires don;t short out, or if you accidently turn on the function that controls them, it will fry that portion of the decoder and possibly other function outputs, since it's all on the same chip.

LED's are solder on the factory PC board, I wish it was that simple.
Ken.
Follow the wires to the decoder. They may be a plug in thing and simply unplugging and removing will be easy. If not a plug then snip close to the decoder so the wires don't short.
Download the manual for your version decoder off of QSIs web site. There will be 2 or 3 CVs that have to be set to activate or deactivate BEMF in QSI. Some versions of QSI decoders have RTC (Regulated Throttle Control). RTC is similar to BEMF but works better for consisting.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
Bought a Proto 2 E 7 with sound some years ago with out its shell. Bought a cheap shell and real don't care for the looks. Think it is a train line. One of the other things I hate is how bright the number board LED's are, they look like headlights. All so get tired of using F 11 to turn them off.
Now, I have 2 sweet PK 2 Santa Fe Warbonnet shells, but they won't fit because they hit the number board LED's. Can I just clip off the LED's with no ill effects? Ones not working anyway.
All so, what CV do I change to turn off the QSI decoders BMF and what do I change it to?
