Engine light on after playing in fuse box :/

Postby bennieboi101 » Sat May 04, 2013 12:25 pm

Hey guys, so i was attempting to install some neon’s in my car (i know stereotypical) and i was looking in the fuse box to maybe wire into the parkers. I saw one of these big massive square fuses that i had no idea what it was (later found out its a relay not a fuse) and anyway, i took it out and put it back in no harm done right?
WELLLLLL now my engine light is on for some reason and won’t turn off. The car appears to be running normal (as far as my complete lack of car knowledge can tell)
I looked under the fuse box cover and it was the "E" location and has a picture of "A/T then picture of the engine light"
This is a 2011 ES Lancer :)

i did and i didnt even turn the car on when the fuse was out.
i checked some other threads about engine lights on and i removed the negative battery cable and then put it back on, problem fixed :D

are you sure the car was not on ACC when you pulled the fuse?
