My husband took our car to a trustworthy mechanic when our "check engine" light went on. He said we needed a part replaced and he would need to order it.

My husband went home and disconnected the car battery. The light has not come back on since then. Later we bought a manual (we had none) which says to take out the fuse and put it back in.

It turned out our mechanic couldn't get the replacement part. There was a nationwide shortage of the part.

I forgot to mention, he reconnected the battery a minute or so later. :-]

I'm glad you cleared that up. It sounded like the car was up on blocks in your garage, but dang there's no check engine light on any more!
