In other words, if you are not pushing hard, the light will come on at a certain RPM. If you are pushing hard, it will hold off. Who knows what the engineers tied it to figure that out. Whatever, it's wrong, all the time. You can - 1. tape over it - fast, ugly. 2. Cut the wire to it - fast, irreversible 3. - remove the bulb (a 4 hour job pulling and replacing the dash. I opted for #3, since I wanted to do another modification behind the dash (Added an indicator light using an existing marker so I know when the fog lights are on). Plus, I like to explore :-)
