How to Override Flashing Yellow Slide light

I have a tear in my bedroom slide bladder and cannot get the yellow light to stop blinking, I assume it's related to the leak.  Any suggestion on how to bypass this?  There should be no air in the bladder as a result of the tear.

I saw this in all things foretravel:

If there is a hole in the slide bladder seal and you can't close the slide. It is because the unit is not sensing a seal. Go down and pinch the air line with pliers while the key is on. That will draw a vacuum, trick the unit sensor, and you will be able to get the room in. Mike Rogers – 1/08

All you need to bypass a leaking slide bladder is a brass compression fitting cap. When you remove the line on the manifold block which is located just above the door in the first compartment after the battery compartment on the driver's side. No need to bleed down the air first as it is regulated to 12psi. Jeff & Patricia 2001 U320i 4010

Anyone have experience with these procedures that can explain further?

Or once the vacuum requirements have been made a vacuum switch identifies that is okay to operate slide. Being it is vacuum you may be able to simply tape over the tear and it will draw itself together. There is also a shut off valve that you can close on the supply air to the control valve after your done to prevent loosing air out the tear.  On that same valve is the line going to your slide and i would think you could simply block that line and it would be fooled into thinking there is vacuum and would function. Finger over removed position on vacuum valve. I know our coaches are way different but i would guess the theory is the same
