ok here is what you I know it sounds crazy but it works...

UN hook your Neg side of the battery terminal.

Let it sit like that for 5 - 10 min.

Now rehook it up...

Take a Metal Wrench and Grab it in the middle with a pair of RUBBER handle Vise grips...

Tough the wrench to both sides of the terminals it will spark, Now remove

The light will be off

lol nah just kiddin just un hook your battery when doing any High performance installs.
