bad battery
Right in the spot where you see the check engine light. It is behind that spot.
Check engine lights can come on for a number of reasons. If you didn't get the cable right or got a sparks when connecting or disconnecting that could most definitely cause problems with the check engine light or even blow the alternator fuse.
On a 2001 Ford Windstar the check engine light looks like a picture of an engine just to the right and a little bit lower than the ( O/D OFF light )
It is the one next to the service light.....second to the right.
Right there in the instrument cluster. Turn on the ignition switch but do not start the engine. The check engine light will stay on. If you do not see it then the bulb is burnt out or has been removed.
check engine light
im not going to answer your question but i have the exact same problem except i found that with the front wheels off the ground it does not die when turning to the right. I replaced the TCC solenoid and my check engine light went away but did not solve the right turn problem. If you find anything out please post it.
The only way you will know what is wrong ( there could be problems that do not affect the way it runs right now ) is to have the computer codes read. If the light is on there "is" a problem.
As previously said. Dead, or weak battery. The light you're talking about is a blinker signal light, not a check engine light. It's just coincidental.
Check engine light can literally point to hundreds of things. The only right way to find out is to take it to someone with electronic diagnostics.

Can't be specific, but it should be red. Either an engine logo, the words 'check engine' or both. Should be located right around the other gauges and dummy lights. (check coolant, alternator light, etc)
