If it's the engine management light you're talking about. Then I'm sorry to tell you it will have to go back to the dealer.
No respectable garage will touch it with a bargepole.
I have a Focus and after a wee bump was repaired the light came on and I went back to the body repair shop with it and they told me to take it straight back to the dealer as something about the warranty didn't allow them to touch it.

i think the only way that can be switched off is by the pdu (portable dignostic unit) that the deales use, as garngadblue says its a function in the engine managment ECU.

Do you mean the service due light ? It comes on when your car is due a service ? I know on the 406 when this comes on it's easy enough to restart and I would asume that this is probly the same in your case. On the other hand if you mean the engine management light then **** dealer jobbie.
 
Mickie, I have a 98 Galaxy, I had it serviced at a local garage because the Local Ford Dealer's not the best.

But they couldn't reset the light, so I Got hold of the Ford TIS CD.

Not in there.

But I found this and it does work (Well for a '98)

Resetting Service Interval Display Ford Galaxy 1995 – 2000 (M to W Reg)

With the Ignition off:

Press the trip mileage reset button and hold it in.

Turn the ignition on.

Hold trip mileage reset button in for 4 seconds (Approx)

The display Will reset.

Release the trip mileage button

Turn off the ignition.

It may be necessary to perform this operation more than once, it has been known to take the service interval back one interval at a time, this means on a 40,000 mile service the procedure may need performing 4 times (This is not always the case, check the display before repeating this operation)

Sorry of for the late response.

This isn't meant to be a way of ignoring service intervals tho'

Anyone know how to reset the oil change light on a Honda SH125? My Diversion 900 doesn't need one, wonder why the 125 does?

FG
 
If the same happens on a transit press the brake and accelerator with ignition on for 30 sec
 
Pug 406 is more or less the same as the ford so giz a shout anyone wanting to know that one ;)

On the nissan you press the brake pedal twice jump out the car run round it 2 times anti clock wise (has to be anti clock wise or you put it forward) jump back in and sing voom voom voom.

Honest I work there, get the new starters to do it everytime....lol ;)
