Archer Racing, amoung other suppliers, carry "skip shift eliminators" which solve the issue described. I'm not sure what brands are best, but it is a very simple device so brand may not matter. I suggest doing a forum search for a previous tech article to guide your decision.

Drive faster out of the hole or stay in 1st a little longer. My car never puts up the arrow unless the guy in front of me at a light is really dogging it, then I just stay in first for another second or two and the light goes out.

I bought mine from Snake Oyl Products, works really well too.

The cheapskate method is to disconnect the connector and place a 2.2K ohm 1/2 watt resistor ($.10 at Radio Shack) across the two terminals in the harness connector. Wrap it with electricians tape and a plastic baggie and tie wrap it to the harness.

Go to Summit Racing and order the JET-61610 skip shift eliminator for 29 bucks and it'll never bother you again. It says that its for the vette and camaro but it'll work fine on the Viper.

Is it just the light that bothers you guys or is it something that tampers with anything else in the vehicle operating system?

When I got a Viper I thought a skip-shift module would be my first mod, but then I learned that it is only effective at VERY low rpm (2,250 I believe) and it has never bothered me. Will be even less of a problem (if that is possible) whent he short gears go in.

Change your rear end gear ratio and you won't hit this limitation anymore

Do these products disable the shift light as well?

No, it won't disable the light.
