Ford would have been the first person I would have gone to. The light will be on because the computer would have logged a fault. That fault can be retrieved by ford very easily and can sometimes be retrieved by other means too (someone may know the 'code'
Ford are the best option but remember that it will only help lead to the problem and may not be very specific in what the problem is. The newer the car generally the better the car's self diagnostics are.

Don't worry about the yellow one. Start to panic when the blue one comes on.

you could try and ask what the fault was that caused it to come on. then take it back if its the same fault then ask them y you were charged $300 for the light to come back on. the light is specific to a specific fault that will be recorded by the ecu there is thousands of difernt reasons y it could come on

so they ran a diagnostic and came up with nothing! sack the AA, the check engine light logs a fault which the diagnostic picks up, thats the whole idea, if they cant confirm the fault they shoudnt be charging a cent as their diagnostic is crap

first thing to do is check the coolant level, oil level and power steering fluid level. if they are low top them up. if not that come back and answer mellisa2000's questions

so you say the moron electrition just cleared the light and handed you the car back for 300$!the light is on because it stored a fault code that can be read with the correct gear and the problem fixed and then the light wont come back on. I sure as hell would demand my 300$ back if they just cleared the fault from the memmory.
