Example I had a 97 Dodge pickup that would periodically have the CEL. Nothing really wrong except an errant sensor. If you let this little thing get you in a wad you will be forever worrying about "a nothing event". If you don't know, or physically can't do it, find a shop or friend who will disconnect the battery briefly. If that doesn't work, then go to plan B at an authorized shop. There is nothing magical about having Ford reset an errant code.

Thank you! Yes, I am probably worrying that about nothing. My family just doesn't like or trust Fords which is why it was distressing that my "dream RV" was a Ford. I just don't want to drive the RV and do more damage and my mechanic can't say 100% that it can be driven until the light is reset. Then, the issue of not even being able to find anyone that can do any type of warranty work on the F-53 has me more upset than the light issue. I even found out all the RV Dealerships anywhere near me (including the one I bought from) and not authorized to do warranty work. WTF??? While I love my RV, I am seriously thinking if selling it or trading it in for another type once I get this fixed. I really enjoy camping but maybe a Ford Chasis was not the best fit for my needs.
