[s-cars] Avoiding autocheck "alarm" on C4 chassis car

[Andrew Beckert]

Link with pictures.  Be careful, I just did this to my autocheck relay and
damaged one of the traces opening the relay, so I went from a low beam
warning to a brakelight warning...at least it doesn't keep beeping every 5
seconds now.

Goodluck,
Andrew
