Filter Minder Problem

Hello,

My filter minder light came on when I was driving. I pulled over and found that it had broken apart. I opened the circuit (springloaded contact), but could not get rid of the light. I have plans to buy another.

Does anyone know how to shut off the light I am getting on the dash?

I read the literature I have but found nothing....


Thank you

Joe

Try closing the circuit. You have only 2 scenarios here.

Ok I am allowed one bonehead question a day...That was it. For some reason I thought that the plunger opened the circuit, tripping the light. It works the other way around.

Petes 6.0.....I think I tried both ways, but for some reason (coincidence maybe) the key cycling worked. Thanks

Now I wonder if FTE's parts guy carried those?

Thanks

Yeah your probably right. I think they are around 20 bucks or so at the dealer. They are pretty cheap.
