This Little Light of Mine...

The 'Check Engine' light in my van lit up this weekend.

Today I took it to be serviced. I announced to the attendant that the 'Money' light came on.
"The money light?" he said.
"Yes" I replied, "But I believe you folks refer to it as the 'Check Engine' light."
He laughed.

They just called to inform me that the van needed $600 worth of parts and service.

Why don't they name dashboard lights more accordingly?

aren't there truth in advertising laws out there that would require it to be called the money light?

Then they'd only need one light- a great big flashing money light right in the middle of the dashboard.

Roflmao! THAT was funny! In my husbands car (honda civic) the check engine light comes on when it's time for an oil change. After the oil change the mechanic resets the light (every once in awhile we get one that doesn't know how and we have to drive it around with the light on for 3 or 4 months till the next oil change) I don't know why it's the check engine light that comes on for an oil change..makes me sense to me if say, oh, I don't know, the OIL LIGHT would come on, but what do I know..I'm just another dumb blonde, and a woman at that......

I just ignore dash lights. Probably explains why my cars evenually blow up.
