Wow! Glad to hear the car is fine again!

So resetting the computer could be achieved by disconnecting it from its power source for a while, right? Do you think disconnecting the battery for a day or so (instead of just a couple of minutes) would have had the same effect? Just curious...

Just disconnecting the battery for a couple of days won't reset the computer. I had the battery disconnected for two weeks at one time and the problem was still there. The mechanic said you have to disconnect all of the cables from the computer in the trunk for it to reset.

It's kind of like the phones with digital message machines in them. If you unplug it from the wall, it keeps your outgoing message on the chip. If you remove the power cable from the back of the phone, it erases everything.
