Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / June 2009Engine Maintence Light
I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the battery, the Engine Maintnence light is on....Wasn't on before the batt. died, but now wont go off. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance >I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the >battery, the Engine Maintnence light is on....Wasn't on before the batt. >died, but now wont go off. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance Try disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes and see if that does it. I'm not sure what interface this thing has, but if ODBI (pre-96) you may be able to get a code out of it. Personaly, though I have an ODBI scan tool, I've never done an 87! thanks, I'll try disconnecting it and see if that works. Thanks again > I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and > the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the > battery, the Engine Maintnence light is on....Wasn't on before the batt. > died, but now wont go off. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance Locate the little plastic box -somewhere- under the dashboard, open it, remove the 9 volt battery, push the reset button, install a new 9 volt battery, re-install the little plastic box. >> I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >> the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >remove the 9 volt battery, push the reset button, install a new 9 volt >battery, re-install the little plastic box. Yep, the light means nothing. Its a gimmick to get you to the dealer. You can save the money on a new battery by removeing thde light bulb. beekeep >>> I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >>> the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >beekeep Well, if a standard 9V one, then the one that came out of the smoke detector when you do your semi-annual battery change would be free! <bg> >>>> I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >>>> the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >detector when you do your semi-annual battery change would be free! ><bg> Yeah, but you would still have to search under the dash for that stupid little box. They hide it pretty good. She should get Roy or the Rabbit shoot out the light! beekeep >>>>> I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >>>>> the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >beekeep Heck, I'd do it if using my 12ga was allowed... Might take out a few others but what the heck! Wonder how difficult it is to get the light out? >>>>> I have an 87 dodge w150 4x4, and this morning I went to start it, and >>>>> the battery was dead(I left the key on) Now that I have charged the [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > beekeep A small piece of black electrical tape is your friend.

Don't know if he has out shot his daughter but I'm sure he's working on it. The problem is will the friggin' Rabbit be able to get his fat a.s into the truck to shoot anything. I suppose he could use his stand off weapon, a 50 cal. <GBFG> Roy > >>>>In article <21036-4A38D36E-...@storefull-3171.bay.webtv.net>, > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Now what the hell is this??? f.ck with the rabbit night??? I can outshoot Julie any time I want....for now. She's due to squirt out a kid any day so she hasn't shot any this summer and won't for at least a few more weeks. I'm safe..... <BG> This will make three granddaughters for papa to spoil... To the OP.... Just change the battery and poke the reset button. iirc it's under the dash to the left side of the steering column.

No, just the usual. I can outshoot Julie any time I want....for now. She's due to squirt out a kid any day so she hasn't shot any this summer and won't for at least a few more weeks. I'm safe..... <BG> This will make three granddaughters for papa to spoil... Yada yada. What my pudgy buddy means is that since Julie isn't going to the range he has yet to out shoot her. Or to be real clear she kicks his fat a.s! One last cheap shot: It must be something to see the two of you together, two bulging stomachs. Of course here's will go away in a few weeks, your's on the other hand will continue to expand. <GBMFG> To the OP.... Just change the battery and poke the reset button. iirc it's under the dash to the left side of the steering column.

She won't go, so you only have to hit it ONCE!
