I shut it off in the street, and started it back up, and it never came on again, until I went into reverse...:( the speed sensor going out?

Seems there is residual power you have to drain to reset the idiot lights. Unhooking battery might do the same as pulling fuses but for me with the battery buried pulling fuses was easier.

On some cars I have had to keep the battery disconted for almost a hour to get the lights to go off.
