Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for March 14, 2024

A little piece of black tape will cover it up so it doesn’t bother you anymore.

We get a lot of customers like that at the auto parts store where I work.

Stolen from Penny in “The Big Bang Theory.”

Well, he might discover there was a problem. The chip that turned on the “Check Engine Light” might defective. I have a defective tire pressure warning light. Always on. Four attempts and the garage can’t fix it cheaply (he could replace the system but warns it would cost as much as a couple sets of tires). Have a pressure gauge and check periodically – just like the good ol’ days.

Oddly enough, turning off the check engine light circuit has been recommended by a few mechanics I know. Sometimes the check engine circuitry is what’s faulty.

Cheaper.

Mother Goose will be in a lot of trouble once the engine stops working if she doesn’t get the engine checked.

Get it checked and then decide what to do.

That’ll certainly fix it.

And most of the terror inducing warnings are things like “Your gas cap is loose…”

That usually means one of the sensors is broken

…and if you hear funny noises from the engine, just crank up the radio
