pin 7 to 19 service reset procedure does not work (archive)

GregK was kind enough to post a service reset procedure for reseting the oil service light that advised shorting pins 7 and 19, then turning the ignition to position 1 untill the sevice light goes out to reset the lights.
I have tried this and found that my service indicator lights do not come on untill position 2, and even then the lights will not reset with pins 7 and 19 connected.
Has anyone here reset thier own lights and how was it done?
Can I just short pin 7 to chassis ground to reset?
When do your service lights come on, position 1 or 2?
