Default Permanently Disable Check Engine Light

Does anybody know of a simple way to go about disabling the check engine light other than reseting it? I'd like to go in and just unplug it but I don't know if I should come in through the dash or through the engine compartment.

Do you mean just unplug the bulb lighting up the Check Engine Light?

Yeah, I'd be happy if I could just unplug the bulb.

I've never done it before, but how hard can it be?

Thats what I'm wondering...how hard could it be? Because if it's to hard, I'd rather just stare at the light then have to replace my air bag or something else that might go wrong while I tried to unplug the bugger.

Its not that hard to get to, take out two little screws holding
your guages in place, push on the bottom which will pop them
out of place, reach around and un-plug three wire clusters from
the back, try to fit it out from behind the steering wheel, then
just unscrew the little LED bulb in the back!!!

Thanks for the info. Do you get to these two little screws through the engine compartment, or do you get to them from inside the car?
