Default Electrical Question

Okay, So the spoiler along with the third brake light were removed from my 87 by the previous owner. My question is: what do I do to get rid of the taillight failure light on the dash? It will only come on and stay on the first time I hit the brake pedal after starting up. Is there some way to fool the computer or wire the connection so i can get rid of the warning light? I am no electrician but, would you ground it? short it out? or what?
Thanks for the help.

you can take a resistor of any value and a LED, and connect them in the hatch door where the pug is, that should fix your problem. Basically, you'll be putting a small "brake light" in the door hidden behind the panel to complete the circuit.
