CEL Light is OFF :-)

[GT350/BT55]

I was sched with dealer for the oil line recall, anyway, so I was headed in the right direction. Ironically enough 1 day before I have to bring it in I get the CEL light. They called me today, it was something with the thermostat. I also had a broken hazard toggle switch. So I guess as of this point all minor stuff. I will update post when I find out exactly what "something with the thermostat is". Ford was telling them to hot cold cycle the engine to reset it or something. The dealer has been really nice and they said they will keep my car inside over night, and hopefully finish it up tomorrow. I am in no rush, not a daily.

When I pick it up I am also going to ask a technician to show me "how to read a dipstick" LOL. 56 years old and I cannot read a freaking dipstick. If I put it in with the crosshatch marks to the right it seems to come out w oil at the right place. It is a joke. I don't want to rev a motor to 8K w/o know I have enough oil.

BTW - on the topic of oil.
Can someone tell the catch can setup I need to order.

Same happened to me. Driving to the dealer for recall service when the CEL light came on. My thermostat stuck. It was a warranty item so good timing. Good luck!

I should know what it was Tues. Prob just replace the thermostat. We are supposed to get a stormfront tonight. Glad they said they would keep it inside. I was so happy it was no huge disaster. I just spent about 9 months trying to get an elec issue resolved on my A5. Turned out the throttle body was shot. That thing would go into ultra limp mode. Great on the highway at night.
