Cut the pink/green wire on D18 of your ECU. http://technet.ff-squad.com/wiring.obd1.htm

What do you mean tap into the D18 wire? For the shift light to work, you'd need to have a CX or VX ECU and the corresponding engine and transmission.

First of all, your car doesn't have cruise control, right? If you do, then your cruise master switch will control the shift light.

If the light is always on and you want it to go out, pull the cluster back out and cut the red/blue wire.
