How do i reset the check engine light on a 91 cavalier
You can remove the codes (and turn off the check engine light) by simply removing the negative battery cable for a minute or two. Make sure the ignition key is off before you do.
Whatever fault that turned on the check engine light on, if it is still there, it will turn on the light again. Then you would want to retrieve the codes and see about repairing the fault. Post back if you need help on how to get the codes to flash out by the light.

How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? You should be able to check some codes yourself, your obd1. To check codes, use a jumper wire at your data link connector along lower edge of dash, turn key just till the dash lights come on, no further. The mil on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit codes.

Door locks dont work and convertible top wont come down
Door lock issue could be several things. The switch is usually the cause, but the relay could also cause this. The convertible top is usually the relay in the trunk. It is on the upper area of the rear seat, in the middle of the trunk. Replace it. I have replaced them before, and the new relay did not work. I re-wired some of these with two relays. One for up control and one for down control. Have fun.
