Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / September 2005Check Engine Light - 1996 Ranger
I have a check engine light that will not go out. I've had it checked by a technician who reset it and the light did go out for a day or so when it reappeared. I'm at the point where I find the fuse and remove it, but I'm wondering if this is a common problem. -Tony. aspatton01@hotmail.com > I have a check engine light that will not go out.

He said he sees the phantom light consitently with the Ranger. Oh, and take that large lump on your neck and shove it up your semen-filled arse. -Tony. >> I have a check engine light that will not go out.

If the code was related to a vacuum leak, it wasn't the gas cap or idling that caused it, it was a vacuum leak. You could put a little piece of tape over the light, that way you could just ingore it and hope it goes away. > The technician said the code was related to vacuum leak and proceeded to > say a gas cap left off or truck idling for extended period of time could [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Stupid trolls. > I have a check engine light that will not go out.

You need to find the problem and fix it. Tech should have read the codes and fixed the component causing the error. > I have a check engine light that will not go out.

The best advice is to find a decent mech and get it resolved or get a good manual and attempt it yourself. > I have a check engine light that will not go out.

Hence, the vacuum code. The way to look at it is that if it doesn't run different, probably not a big deal.
