Thats if your bulb isnt gone, which wires did you mess with before to turn if off?

Not necessarily, my coil pack died and didnt put the ECU light on, was rather annoyed because i didnt think of reading for codes cos the light wasnt on and i know it works. However the ABS light was on. Cleared the engine coil codes and the ABS light went off
