Default Electrical problems

I heard many folks complain of electrical problems with their vehicle. Here is a strange one.

My daughter's father-in-law's Chevy Silverado has flex-fuel capability. He once was able to use a tank of E85 purchased in Mass. He absolutely hated the performance and returned to regular gas. Since then the check engine light been on, after several trips to the dealer, the dealer can't understand what happened. Since it is a Mass registered truck, I have no idea how he gets the vehicle inspected.

A couple of weeks ago, he asked me to detail his truck. I notice the driver's side seat belt warning wiring was detached and I reattched it. Over the weekend he called me up and ask me what did I do? He wasn't upset that the seat belt chime went on, the check engine light is now off!

I don't know how the seat belt warning chime would effect the OB device unless the manufacterer got some wires crossed.

Any comments?
