Turning off lights that are on in the instrument Panel

I have a 96, Z28 and My Service Engine Light, The Low Coolant Light, and the Low Oil light have gotten stuck ON in my instrument panel. Is there any way I can either turn them off forever...or maybe disconnect them from the start-up? Any help is appreciated...thanks!

Re: Turning off lights that are on in the instrument Panel

are you sure you don't have a problem, why don't u check it out to see what the real problem is instead of taking lightbulbs out or cutting the wires.

Is your low colant and low oil sensors broken, and you need your SES light what if something goes wrong, just my 0.02.

If you REALLY want to disable them, you can either take out the bulbs(hard) or you can look at the wiring diagram and cut the wires that supply the ground or power to those lights.

like your other thread in LT1 tech, I would get the haynes manual it has the wiring diagrams in there. I'm not sure if you know how to read wiring diagrams or not but if you do it will show u what each wire does so if you look at the right ones it shouldn't effect anything else. It will also tell you how to take out the dash to replace the bulbs, you can also do that. Thinking again I'd just take out the bulbs, i'd rather not cut into wiring even if it takes more time to do. Whatever you want to do. But I still think it's kinda "ghetto" what your doing, I'd get it fixed correctly whoever has your car next will be like
