Engine light is on!

[KAR]

So I went to work Friday and nothing was wrong with my car. I get in it to leave and my check engine light comes and my right front running lights/blinker lights stay on. The right blinker light inside the car is also on. Now my question is how do you pull the codes off the plug? Use a test light? And the car is a 94 lt1 caprice(OBD-1). Any help is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to ask any questions also to try and help you get a better idea of what's going on.

you can flash codes to see what's going on.
here's a good article that explains everything you need to know.

Or get in the zone. Autozone

Tried autozone. They only do obd2 cars and don't have the connector for the obd1 which I find odd but it is what it is.

very few autozones have obd1.
iirc wheaton does though.

Haha well I fixed the parking light problem. That was a loose ground but I couldn't get the check light to flash with the terminals jumped together. So yeah looks like I might be driving tomorrow.

Wheaton AZ does not deal with OBD1.
