Problem Setting Fuel Filter Percentage

[MJWenrich]

I hate to keep tying up the forum with computer questions re: these trucks but I get problems not covered in previous posts. Tried today to reset the fuel filter % gauge and I get a screen with a box in middle asking me to confirm reset. I cannot get around this message no matter what up or down or side arrow I push. Tried ignoring that and went thru the process of pressing the right arrow to reset. Nothing happens. Anyone have an idea what I am missing? Other than brain cells? I really dislike this computer stuff which I suppose is easy for some folks but not me. Laying myself out there again to beg for info. Please help this fool get thru this!!!!

Can you take pics?

Are you attempting to re-set with only the ignition ON or are you attempting to re-set while the engine is running???

 

[MJWenrich]

Just with the ignition on. I can try to take a picture of the screen and post but I have had problems with that before. Remember, I am a computer idiot. The screen looks like what you would expect except for the message in the middle. I see the message at the bottom where it says to reset push the right arrow but that does not get me past the message. If there was a yes button re: the confirm question it might work but I have tried the arrow buttons and tried ignoring the message and going thru the procedure. Even tried pushing the go pedal three times. Nothing works so far to get a reset.

Once you are at the screen that says confirm, you have to shift to the down button and then when ok pops into the window, hit the reset. It's a pain in the butt until you figure it out.

My goodness. Thank you so much Fitzwater. That did the trick. I was at a dealer today and they told me to do the same thing the manual says and no one but YOU has suggested the down button. That is the first time I saw the okay message. So I am at 100% now and have a stack of notes on resetting the dang thing the next time. Now on to the oil. Geeez I hope it's not a problem too. I really like the power of these rigs but I may take a hard look at a gas rig the next time around. Self service has become a nightmare and I live too far from a competent dealer to be tied to them.

the oil gauge functions the same way as the fuel gauge to reset it
