How do I "clear" the Eng. malfunction light(check eng light)?

Hiya, all, got a 98 Accord LX 2.3 4cyl. While I was trying to find the fuse for the brake lights, I had the car running and I pulled the under engine fuse #5 labelled "stop" figuring this was for the "stop lamps" As I pulled it, I thought 20amps? anyway the fuse was fine and put it back. I then pulled the drivers side fuse #9 labelled Instrument panel,Back up lights. As I did this, the "chimes" started to sound,so I put it back in. It was OK also. But then the green D4 Drive indicator light began flashing on & off and the eng malfunction light came on. I shut the car down for a bit, the D4 Green light "reset" itself but the malfunction light is constantlly on.... any help on how to reset this light? Thanks very much!!!!! Great Site!!!!!

On the passenger side under dash fuse box remove fuse # 13 , 7.5 amps, clock/ back up for about 20-25 seconds ,make sure key is off..
