Pull the instrument cluster out and remove the light bulb associated with
that light. Not to hard to do.

Ok, in 1992-93 Daks there is a dash light just to the right of the LOW
WASHER FLUID
LAMP.

The letters on the lamp says: "MAINT REQ'D"

I can hear most of you right now are saying, "Huh?"

Well that's because in 1994 and up Daks, Chrysler disconnected this lamp
and blocked it
off in the dash.

I have the complete schemetics for 1994 Daks, it says "NC" or "not
connected" for the
Grey circular dash connector Pin "C". And it doesnt show any lamp in the
lamp holder in
the circuit board. ( although the circuit board does have the lamp holder,
just no lamp
  is installed)

However, Pin "C" in the Grey connector in the 1992-93 Daks was used for
this stupid
"MAINT REQ'D" light.

Q: Can someone with 1992 wiring diagrams tell me where in 50-pin bulkhead
connector (
or even the PCM connector ) I can disable this light?

thanks!
