Yeah I can't really say much maybe someone else will see your post. I'll keep checking back to see if you get it fixed so I'll know for next time I see this question.

ya well mine was on for about a month or two before I reconnected the wires. but it was abit annoying to have the light on the time. Mine was the same it drove fine and all nothing seemed wrong just the light was on lol.

caught this in the dam over the weekend .

Could be one of at least two things. Your car has a choke heater relay that's hiding somewhere under the dash. The relay itself could be bad. Or, your alternator might be bad and not putting out quite enough juice. Low voltage to the choke relay, and the choke light will go on.
