I am asking about a US car, 'cos I know here people are so helpful. My brother has a '96 ford contour, basicly a mondeo. It has an engine warning light , something like "Check Engine" that comes on randomly every now and again. In america they have a Smog Test, a bit like the MOT but only emisions and every 2 years. It fails if the engine warning light comes on. He has had it looked at profesionally a few times, and not been able to fix it, but it has not been a problem for some 3 years of every day use. Now the car is just a spare for when his family come to vist.
Last time he just took it in 3 times and the third time the light did not come on and it passed. I just want to disconect the light so it will past the test. Can anyone tell me how to go about disconecting the light. My idea was to drill a hole through the dashboard and use a bit of wire to smash the bulb. I know nothing about these things. Any help very gratefully recived. I am going over there saturday.
