"low oil" light on 4th gen dash?

ive put in a ls1 dash in and i am using a 97 model cluster.
i do NOT have a oil sensor, so my "LOW OIL" light is on.
ive traced the manual to a small brown wire. ive grounded it and fed it 12v and the light wont go off. all my other lights and gauges ive managed to get working, im stumped.
anyone know what i can do with this wire, im thinking it needs to see a certain resistance.
the "ABS INOP" light was on, but i found it worked off a certain resistance, so i stuck it to the fuel gauge. the ABS light only comes on when im low on gas, so its like a low fuel light for me.
any help is appreciated, even to make fun of me.
thanks!

no buld. there is an LED soldered to the circuit board. im afraid of unsoldering it, seeing how the cluster may not function properly afterwards.

Electrical tape over the backside of the lit-up part, just to block the LED's light from getting through. That was kinda a clever idea for the ABS light too
