Where is the fuel reset button on a 1996 limited edition ford explorer?

There's no fuel reset button on a 1996 Ford Explorer (or any car, for that matter) in the way you might be thinking. There's no button to magically reset the fuel level.

You might be thinking of a few different things:

* Trip Odometer Reset: Many cars have a button to reset the trip odometer, which tracks mileage since it was last reset. This is often confused with a fuel reset. The location of this button varies by vehicle and is usually near the instrument cluster. Check your owner's manual.

* Fuel Gauge Inaccuracy: If your fuel gauge is inaccurate, it's not something you reset with a button. The problem could be a faulty fuel sender unit in the gas tank, a wiring issue, or a problem with the gauge itself. This requires professional diagnosis and repair.

* On-board diagnostics (OBD) reset: Some OBD codes relate to the fuel system, but resetting them requires a scan tool, not a button on the dashboard.

In short, there is no "fuel reset button". If you have a problem with your fuel gauge or fuel system, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic.
