Default 98 Accord stuck maintenance required indicator

I've tried the indicator reset trick (odometer button...used to work well) but the light still stays lit. I'm not throwing any engine codes - scanned this morning at Advanced Auto.

huh why are you scanning for codes? the maintenance indicator light is only to remind you to do your regular stuff on the car, like changing oil if u havent or check all your fluids level etc..

I reset mine two days ago. It suppose to be trip button and not odometer. Anyway, push on that button and than turn your key to ON position (car not running). This is a tricky stuff since they both are on your right side (what did Hoda think?) and when you push on the button you cover the dash with your left arm while you turn the key wiht the right one.

yeah,

with your car off. use your left hand to press down on the trip reset and hold. with your right hand turn the car on to the ON position. hold the trip reset untill the light turns off. about 10 seconds.

If all else fails, you could just pull your gauge cluster out of the dash and then simply remove the lightbulb for the maintenance required light.
