maybe because you don't have ABS? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
If that's the case, i don't really think there's anything you could do, but i could be wrong

i thought only the ex had abs

that's why I think his light is coming on. He's driving a DX, which i don't think has ABS, and the cluster usually receives an ABS signal or something and since it's not getting one, the warning light is on. that's my theory [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I agree

The dx does not have abs, just pull the light bulb out from behind the cluster. you should be fine.
I did the swap to a lx cluster and that does not have the abs. Only ex

yeah, but is there an abs fuse in a car with no abs? Do what jeff said and pull the bulb.

1. Only EX has ABS
2. you cannot pull the bulb, because it use a LED

I thank you guys for your comments, my dx does not come with abs, so how would I get rid of the light, I would deal with it since I know it won't damage my ride but you guys know that the light can get annoying after awhile, geez even my selt light annoys me lol
but seriously guys can i get rid of it somehow????

You can pull the bulb because I pulled all mine when I went to reverse indiglo and then replaced them all except one. You just have to find the right one to pull.

Either pull the right LED out or like somebody else said, put a piece of black electrical tape over the light. It'll work.

yup, thats basically what i did. only if i remember right, the LED was hard wired into the board so i think i just broke it off.

Once again thank you guys for your help and ideas on how to solve this problem. I think I will go with putting a piece of black tape over the light, in fear that if I try pulling the ABS bulb out I'll probably break some lol. The gauges work well but I realizes two more issues when I put my turn signal on it doesn't show it on the dash but they work...and it doesn't tell me that my high beams ae on when i put them on. Do you guys think I'll pass inspection even thou my turn signal is not indicated on the dash board???

when the abs light comes on is when your abs won't work because one of the parts on that circuit are bad(or in this case all completely missing) . i would just try to get something in there to cover up the light. might have to pull it all apart.

The LED is soldered to the circuit board. I had the same thing happen when I put a cluster in my friends DX. I just unsoldered the LED and took it out.

okay fellas I took the cluster out again and tried looking for that bulb ya'll told me about found it but I could pull it out nor brake it, so I just took a black magic marker colored in the ABS light then put a small piece of black electrical tape over it (ghetto tatics) lol....

I thank you guys for your help and advise, but I have one last question?
my turn signal can not be seen in the cluster (but from the exterior of the car they do) will I fail inspection because it can't be seen in the cluster?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

do what I did, open it up again, look down and you see 2 leads, get a knife a cut one, and there you go no ABS light. i did this about a year ago
