I yanked the bulb out of the clusters of both my 89's... its just a
dummy light and does not warn of any problems. Totally different from
teh check engine light. Owners manual says so , FSM says so. I'm not
paying anyone to turn off an idiot light that will only come back on
again. Since I check my engine just about every time I go under the
hood - and I check all my componants regularly on my own.. I see no
reason to bother with the light.
