my friend told me that If i disconnect the ground on my battery that the check engine light would go off after I have connected my O2 sensor. I did that and the check engine light still came on! I was wondering since I extended the harness about 15 feet, if that would cause a problem?

why did you extend it 15 feet?!

yeah, ran around the engine bay which is why It was so long. I figure that I might as well just re wire the whole thing and make it a lot shorter.

RE: O2 sensor help

the length of the extension really does not matter. if you don't have a cat then you'll get the light every time no matter how many times you take the ground wire off your battery. get an o2 simulator or just take the check engine light bulb out of the console. - i took the bulb out...
