Does anyone know where the reset button is for the Service Light on the Dashboard? I just had my car in for service and the mechanic forgot to reset the light, so now every time i turn my car on the light comes on for about 3 minutes. Its just kind of annoying...

Thanks for the help...

No reset button. Desigined to make you return to the dealer so he can screw you $35.+ to reset it. Most reset tools are expensive as I've seen some for ~$150. The low tech solution is to remove the bulb (hassle to pull the cluster) or get a roll of electrical tape from Home Depot and cut a small square and stick it over the light. Cost ~$1.00

You need the electronic tool, like the Draper tool. Here's a link:

They're cheap and nice to have in the toolbox. Other than that maybe stop by PepBoys or any other shop that does a lot of oil changes and ask them to do it. But I would just buy the Draper tool.

Has to be reset with a device that the dealer has. It can be programmed to never some on again.
