Well I took my radio out since it wouldnt play cds at all and tryed to fiddle with it to get it working again. When I installed it again, it wouldnt come on at all. I went through all the fuses to see if they were blown and none were. Since I was thinking about getting another one off ebay anyway, I threw it away. I took out all my after market stuff, amp, sub, etc. When I woke up the next day, which is today, the check engine light is on. Whats the deal? Is it because the radio is missing? Did I replace a fuse in the wrong spot maybe? Would that do it? I dont know whats wrong. I'm stuck at work and frustrated. Im going to take it in to see what the code is but wanted to post to see if anyone would know why at first.

I did unhook the battery for about 20 minutes before all that. Also, I have under a 1/4 tank of gas. Maybe the check engine light came on cause of low fuel?? And when I got the car, there is a wire connected to one of the fuses in the fuse box under the steering wheel, I dont know if that has something to do with it, just checking.

Why dont you go to autozone, and have them read the dtc (diagnostic trouble code) if you dont have a scanner of your own. Theyll do it for free. They wont clear it for you, but once you know what it is, then let us know, and we'll tell you how to fix the problem.

ya i figured it out, pretty much was that when i disconnected the battery for that long it reset my comp and was just letting me know. Got it erased and running fine.
