How to Reset the Service Light on a Ford Explorer
- 1). Open the fuse panel cover on your Ford Explorer under the steering column. Turn the knob on the cover and pull down on the fuse panel cover.
- 2). Plug the connector on the diagnostic tool into the port on the fuse panel. There is only one port large enough to accept the diagnostic tool's connector.
- 3). Turn the ignition key to the "II" position.
- 4). Wait for the service light to go out. At this point, the service light has been reset.
