Default Rubicon Sway Bar Light Flashing

I searched but couldn't find an answer. The SWAY BAR light started flashing on our '08 Rubicon. We've never used that feature - it just started flashing one day. I looked up underneath it and it's not disengaged. I tried the owner's manual instructions to disengage/re-engage it and it does nothing. At this point it's really just an annoying flashing light but I'd like to see if I can fix it. Any ideas?

I went through this recently. Mine was flashing because of a corroded connection. I had white corrosive powder in the plug. I unplugged it and cleaned with wire brush and electric connection cleaner.

could be water in the sway bar too along with corrosion too. Get it fixed ASAP because it can put you into limp mode

Just wanted to follow up with a picture. This is the plastic clip that releases the connector. Then it pulls straight off toward the front of the jeep.
