Trying to Delete Giant Red Exclamation Point Light Top Center on Dash!!
Does anyone know how to delete the Giant Warning Light on the dash. The large one top center with the exclamation point.
One thing led to another and the next thing you know I have the dash apart.
I looked at the back of the cluster assembly and see the bulb for the warning light I intend to delete.
Here is the problem I heard if you remove it totally, the rest of the dash lights wont work either. Kind of like the old Christmas tree lights. Take one out they all go out.
Has anyone ever tried just taking the bulb out breaking it and then sticking the insert back in?
I am about to try this but would like to know if it will work first.
Thanks in advance!

Is that the only warning light that is on? It is connected to other warning lights and the emergency brake. I took mine out and the oil pressure gauge would stay pegged at over 5 bar. When the light was replaced the pressure gauge retruned to normal operation.

Ok sorry. Forgot to explain that part. This car is far from stock. The previous owner replaced the stock stearing wheel with an aftermarket Momo stearing wheel. So the official airbag light in the bottom right is on and I believe that this also causes the main exclamation light in top center (which I am trying to delete) to be on as well.
So no Driver Airbag = Large Dash warning light?
What you guys think. Car runs great.

So I shredded the car more and just crushed the bulb placed it back in the socket and all the other lights and instruments still work! I tell you what, so much nicer driving the car at night and no more "so why is that red light on for" comments when people ride in the car. Thanks for your help guys. Reno thanks for showing me the search function on the forum. Thats fantastic.

You could have bypassed the SRS module and the light would have gone off. http://www.944s2.com/how-to/how-to.htm
I think that's what Reno meant by search.

George, yes I tried pulling the bulb but then the other lights would not work. So I just took it out and crushed the actual bulb then put the socket back into place. Now the large red light is off and the other lights still work. Funny yours works with the whole bulb and socket out.

That is so ghetto OP.
Bypass the airbag system. Hope you notice when your voltage drops, your oil pressure drops, or anything else MAJOR happens and you don't get your '!' light.
Just bypass the airbag system properly, and the light will be out, but still working for the other systems.
