You could go to any Autozone and have it read for free!!! Also, if you want to "clear' the CEL after you replaced the defective part, just reset the computer by pulling the negative lead on your battery for 20 minutes. 20/20 did an expose' on those Goodyear shops a few years ago with a hidden camera and it was scary!!! they caught these jerks on camera pulling fuses and relays and then telling the "customer" that the repairs would be in the hundreds of dollars!! Stay as far away from those jerks as possible....Which is kinda hard to do since you actually work at that one! Geez, you work there and they still tried to screw you....time to find another job A1C Hodges, Christopher Active Duty USAF Sheppard AFB Texas;Westover ARB Chicopee, MA NECEG "Troll" formerly owned 2000 SVT Contour, with all kinds of goodies;)

I don't work at Goodyear and I know they are scheisty. I know I can reset my computer by either pulling the cable or the 2 fuses, I have done it several times. I do not have a code reader as stated above so I just needed my code read. I know 68 is a lot but it is the cheapest around here that I can find. What's going on here? The problem was fixed like 3-4 days ago and I am still getting posts on it that have nothing to do with anything. Thanx for trying to help though... 99 SVTC, T-Red, #652/2760-12.8.1998 Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract? I hope it sounded more confusin than that!
