The fuELReset indicator light on the Ford Explorer can be misleading as it may not always signal the exact issue. One possible meaning is a problem with the EVAP system, which should be checked and repaired to turn off the light. A common cause could be a loose gas cap, so it's recommended to check that first. If that doesn't solve the problem, some drivers have noticed issues with the inertia switch, so it might be worth checking that as well. Another potential reason for the light could be a malfunctioning fuel pump, but this is unlikely if the Explorer is still operating normally.
Could it lead to a stall during takeoff because of the fuel reset button being pressed?
To clear the fuel indicator on a Ford Explorer, you should locate the fuel reset button either in the glove compartment or near the passenger side floor, press that button, and the fuel system will be reset.
