Default change oil indicater

I looked up how to fix this in the owners manual and also on past threads here but the light persists in stayin on.

I turn the key to run but don't start the engine.

Then i hit ENG MET and within 5 seconds hit it again, then I press and hold GAUGES, the light is supposed to flash then ultimately go out.
But it doesn't. Any ideas outside of a bad switch?
Thanks

This is a cut/paste I found someplace - sounds exactly like what you did, except maybe the last part. You could be there all day .. (the "try again" part)

Be sure to reset the monitor when your oil is changed,
even if the CHANGE OIL light didn’t come on. If you
don’t reset the monitor, it won’t work correctly. Follow
these steps:

1. Turn the key to RUN, but don’t start the engine.

2. Press ENG MET on the Trip Monitor. Then, within
five seconds, press it again.

3. Within five seconds, press and hold GAUGES on the
Trip’Monitor. The CHANGE OIL light should flash.

4. Hold the GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL
light stops flashing and goes out. This should take
about ten seconds.

When the light goes out, the monitor is reset. If the
monitor doesn’t reset, turn the ignition off, then try
again.

This one's a little different - year dependent?

Take a look at the video posted here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...oil-light.html

If that still does not help, perhaps it is the buttons giving you the problems.
Look at this thread and see if that helps: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...tton-assy.html
