Brent,
I just went through this problem myself. It could be the warning light
simulator. This looks like the turn signal relay, but with an elbow
bracket on the end of it. It mounts on the left hand side of the engine
compartment with one of the upper screws that holds the clutch pedal in
place. These are VERY delicate and will break if dropped or mishandled.
This will cause the light to stay on. If the Alternator isn't charging,
the light will stay on too. What altermator do you have? If it's one
with the internal regulator, you can bypass all the relays and
regulators on the left hand side by the fuse box.
