Joe,
you can pull the instrument cluster and remove the bulb (did that with the
ABS OFF light on my '87) - or use electrical tape.......
but seriously, if you're getting a light on all the time you've got a
serious fault going on - the fault memory on the earlier type 44 cars is not
retained when the car is turned off. Consult the owner's manual or a copy
of the Bentley Manual to troubleshoot. Or let us know any symptoms and
we'll give our 2c. It may be something as simple as replacing an oxygen
sensor.....
Cheers!
