Air Filter light is on- help??
After reading my name, you realize asking if I changed the filter is not at all out of the question!- ha ha, but, I did actually change the filter and the light is still on. The old filter wasn't bad at all, but I still changed it. I did a little digging, and found out that the light is supposed to go off by itself after the restriction is removed- is that correct? This as a 2002 F-250
Tonight when I have some time, I was going to look for anything else that could restrict the flow- maybe a pine cone, Big Gulp cup, or the neighbor's cat? Any ideas where or how to look?
As always: THANKYOU for ANY input. As the name implies, I just don't have the talent and experience that is so prevalent on this great forum. I got lucky and drew a Bighorn sheep tag here in Oregon this year and I REALLY need my truck running perfect so THANKYOU fo any help- it is greatly appreciated!

Hi Dave, welcome to FTE! Regardless of mechanical experience you will be able to learn quite a bit around here.
On your truck you should have a filter minder, whics is a simple mechanical device between your intake manifold and air filter. It looks like a clear plastic cup with a plunger in it, and to reset it you depress the button on the end of it.
That is, of course, unless your neighbor's cat is still obstructing your air filter. Which would be such a shame.

The wherabouts of the neighbor's cat remains a mystery, but our Cambodian neighbors have invited us over for a barbeque tonight- maybe we can have a brainstorming session during dinner!
THANKYOU!!!! For the help!!!!
