Where is the fuel reset bottom on a 93 Ford Explorer?

There's no fuel reset button on a 1993 Ford Explorer (or any car, for that matter, in the way you might be thinking). The fuel gauge doesn't have a button to reset it to full. The gauge is purely passive; it reflects the fuel level sensor in the tank.

If your fuel gauge is inaccurate, the problem lies with:

* The fuel level sensor: This is the most likely culprit. It's a float inside the fuel tank that sends a signal to the gauge. It can become damaged, stuck, or inaccurate over time.

* The gauge itself: The gauge in the instrument cluster could be faulty.

* Wiring issues: Problems with the wiring between the sensor and the gauge can also cause inaccurate readings.

To fix an inaccurate fuel gauge, you'll need to have a mechanic diagnose the problem. They'll likely test the fuel level sensor and the wiring before replacing the gauge as a last resort.
