Normally when that happens I plan on spending $300.00. Well I took my car in today to get everything checked out, and they said it was nothing! I'm so happy! This is my first trip to a car dealership where I've come out owing less than $100.00 in a very long time.

Glad it was nothing

My check engine light has been on since I've owned the truck.
I've had it on the diagnostics machines at two independant machanics, a Good Year shop and the dealership.
Nothing wrong with it.
Ford mechanics tell me it's just a bad relay, I could replace it, or do as they advised and just ignore it and keep up my routine maint.

At the vet, I don't even have her tell me the price any more. I just pass over my credit card and wait for the statement.

I still needed an oil change and a new wiper fluid pump so they didn't charge me for the diagnostic. I thought that was nice of them.
