1 Answer

figured it out, 2 solutions.....on the top of the dash is a small dark walnut looking piece, thats the sensor.......pop it out with a small screwdriver and unhook it.......light now go on whenever the car is running. I did like the look of the cable just sitting there so i tool Flex Seal and painted two coats over the sensor and re-attached it. Works like a charm......
