Hello to the all knowing, I need some help. I just emptied the loo and you guessed it, the red light will not go out. Any suggestions?

Why do you need a red light? You can tell when it is getting full by looking down the hole. Rip the cable off.
The electrics on cassette toilets are mostly totally unnecessary yet give constant problems. After replacing a couple of pumps and micro switches over the years I plumbed ours direct to the van pumped water system. All the problems have gone.
Cheers,
Peter

Welcome to the forum Billee
It could be the float inside the cassette, stuck in the full position, which will keep the full light, still working
You could remove the cassette, and give it a gentle shake, not a rough shake as it may make the float fall off
If you have small hands, and rubber gloves, you could feel inside the cassette, to make sure that the float is able to move
Otherwise as Peter above has said, just disconnect the electric side by removing the fuse/wiring etc
After a while you will get use to emptying the cassette, every so many days
Hope that the info is useful to you

As Tony suggests, you can gain access to the mechanism if Tony's solution won't work. To get access, take off the slide blocking the inlet. There will be a rail or groove on each side where that slide slid into place. Find a piece of wood that fits snuggly between those slides. You will notice that the top has a circle, or removable top portion, on the side of this is an arrow (I think), it aligns up with a corresponding dot on the cassette body. Around the top on the body of the cassette is another dot. With the piece of timber fitted between the slides, turn the wood to rotate the top to the other dot. It lifts off and you have access. Assembly is in the reverse order.

If you do pull it apart, make sure the wood is a snug fit, this is to avoid putting a strain on the ends of the slides, which can break.

Hi Billee
Look up on utube for your model, mine is the C200, and has 6 screws to remove, other models (like Ian's), you use a piece of wood to remove slide
The worst you can do, is to damage the float, which is not really required, if you are brave enough to look down, to see how full it is
