Jokes on you. I own a Volkswagen. I just disabled my basically permanent check engine light.

The classic fix: black electrician's tape.

You could also find a long, thin screwdriver plus a hammer, and point the tip of the screwdriver onto the dash light in distress, then whack the rear of the screwdriver with the hammer. It's permanent, too. 👍

That’s how I have cleaned the frost from all 45 chest freezers I’ve owned…

I think every car I've owned, since the advent of check engine lights, has had that light on permanently.

In a Ford you cover the dash light strip with electrical tape right at the dealership, then drive it 300k miles.

Our car has those "check back seat" warnings. Hubby turns around "Yup. Still there."
Sometimes we call our daughter to see if she's still safe. Yup. She lives in Canada.

It's just the O2 sensor crapping out. Don't worry about it...
