I had this problem too.  Turns out it was the relay that turns on the LED.
I just unplugged mine, but replacing it would be good because you would
have your warning light if you don't watch the gauge.
I don't know which relay it is now but the manual should tell you(somewhere
in the upper right side of the relays).
