Default Annoying service light.

A few days ago I noticed the "service" light go off in my "98.
My mechanic says that it isn't something that he can clear and that I would have to go to the dealership and get it cleared.
To be honest I'm not about to the dealership and pay a ridiculous amount for them to clear something that takes more than 5 seconds to do.
HELP!

My '97 has a small plug in the instrument cluster. I remove the plug, insert a paper clip or something to reset the service light, then put the plug back in. Not sure if yours is the same.

Cool service light

My 98' S90, has the same plug to reset the light. The service indicator light is programmed to active every 2500 miles to remind you to service the Volvo.
