you my friend, are dead wrong. it fixed the problem as well. here is how i see it.

if you had a coolant leak and the low coolant light came on, but the bulb burned out, well you could overheat the motor rather quick. the pcm will see little or no resistance on the circuit with the blown bulb. in turn, the pcm will command the fans on by itself. i watched my car do it. takes about 30 seconds. so if you are an idiot and your idiot light is burned out, your car will try to save itself. i will show you if you want, the led does not have enough resistance for the pcm to see it lit. i could probably solder in another resistor, but i don't care that much.
