Default Aftermarket ECU, red key light on dash flashing.

Hi,
this is probably known and answered, but I cannot find it as I probably dont search for the correct words... My Speeduino is doing fine, last issue to tackle is the red light with the black key shape in it is flashing in my NB dashboard. How would I fix that? I believe it thinks the key is in the ignition (which is true) but the engine is not running (while it is). Can I wire something up? Just remove the bulb? Disconnect something on the ignition lock so it doesn't see the key?

Any proven suggestion is appreciated,
Thanks,

Hugo

I pulled the bulb, works great to stop the flashing

I have the same, been ignoring it for a couple of years but at last rego inspection was pinged for it. I'm planning on pulling the bulb before I front again in a month or so.
