any way to make the light not come on just to get it inspected?
i think i put the wrong computer in it and its throwing a code...
dont have the time to look into it at the moment wondering if there was a quick fix? thanks

You can turn it off, but it will come back on. You can disconnect battery for a little and it should turn off. but once you drive so many miles, it will turn on again. Advance Auto can check and clear it for you, but like I said, it will still be in the system until the problem is fixed

No there is not. The only way to do it is to disconnect the battery to clear the code. But if it is an immediate problem on start up it will just come back on. They are designed to show there is a problem both to the driver and any shops that work on it test it.

I bet you could do a little fancy but simple electrical work to cut power to the CEL once the car is running :P

Some 95 vehicles had OBD2 as well. I know my 95 towncar does. Not sure on any of the rangers though.

rewrite the software that determines the output to the bulb....
