Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the shift light on the 2003 cobra?? I just picked it up on Saturday ( ) and that light is annoying.

You can get an aftermarket chip or have the ECM flashed with a hand held tuner like the Predator to take care of that annoying shift light. Mine has been changed and doesn't light up until 6500 RPM!

Because unplugging the bulb doesn't give you any HP!
Get a chip or superchips programmer.

Nor does it cost anything and it doesn't void your warranty either.

The programmer does not void warranty.
Hence the reason it is a programmer and not a chip.
It can be set back to stock (checksum and everything) at anytime.
