Why dont you just pull the bulb out.Remove the black gauge bezel & you will see the bulb in the pocket reach in & pull it out.

It could just be grounded,causing to stay on.removing might be the safe thing to do till you find the cause.

try also unhooking the battery for about 30 minutes, it should reset the computer and then the light should go off. i did that when my check engine light came on, when i was working on it.

What's the voltage reading? On 82-85 cars, the "choke" light is really turned On when the Alt output voltage is low!!!!
