I have heard of it happening if you change your rear gear ratio.

yeah the shift light goes by engine rpm's, speed and cluch pedel sensor, If you change the gears it screws everything up, just pull the light bulb out.

Most likely Ed Wrights chip. I remeber comming across a similar problem when I was burning my own chips. At 80 mph my shift lite would come on. I found one of the tables in tunercat was at 80mph (something for automatic tranny), and changed to zero. My lite stayed on all the time, so I adjusted to 255 or whatever max mph was, and my lite hast given me a problem. Im not positive that this is your problem, but If you didnt have problem before, than its most likely in the chip. I would call Wright, he a friendly guy with a good amount of experience.
