glow plug modulator

Ford said the glow plug modulator was bad. I replaced it today and was hoping the check engine light would go out. Its still on. Does the light need to be reset somehow?

Once you replace your Glow Plug Control Module, just unhook both batteries for 15 minutes.

It's not a modulator. It's a Glow Plug Control Module.

No prob. It's the cheap way to reset the SES whenever you've fixed the problem and you don't have a code reader to reset the light.
