Question
the engine light on my dash board is on and it is driving me crazy!!! We took it to our mechanic and he said it needs an O2 sensor. No problem, however the light is driving me crazy in the mean time.  He shut the light off after it went on the computer and stayed off for a day and came back on.  We just want the light shut off until the van gets its O2 sensor. Can you help us figure out how to turn it off?

Answer
Hi Deidre,
Unless you want to remove the cluster and take out the bulb it is not something you can disconnect. Fixing the O2 sensor is the only way to end the light issue. Put a piece of electrical tape on the lens of the cluster to block out the light.
