error.3

Help !
I have an 92 F150 4x4 5.0 ext cab and My alterantor went out today. I replaced it and now my odometer display is flashing "error.3". Everything seems to work ok but the display is flashing back and forth between the mileage and the word "error.3". I have read some threads about resetting the conversion constant and I tried the check using the reset button and the key. It scanned and reported "E 03" and thats it. I guess I need to ground a wire to actually reset it. Not sure how to find this wire and reset the constant. Any ideas or instructions would be great ...

Thanks
T

I used this write up when I recalibrated my speedometer for larger tires, don't know if it will help you or not.

Thanks for the link. New Alternator here too. Works great! Now if my new engine belt would stop breaking windows when I drive by...
