Well, the SES light is no more. I went to the Tax Assessor's office to get a tag and as when I left the light was gone. I guess the car really wanted a tag

I'm not dumb enough to really think that solved the issue, but I'm curious now as to why it went away.

the oil light that flickers when I come to a stop only does it when the SES light is on also. Does this seem odd to anyone else?
