Water in fuel light?
My water in fuel light came on again after cleaning the engine compartment (normal) but this time it won't shut off. I released fuel from the seperator filter four times and no result. The truck seems to run fine but the light won't shut off. I also checked the electrical connection at the sensor and it's dry. Anyone know what got wet that I'm missing?

I tried a bunch of things to get the diesel out of the connector. Finally, I disconnected the pigtail from the engine wiring. Just let them both dangle in the breeze. A couple of weeks later, I reconnected them. Worked fine after that.
A short between the two wires anywhere along them will turn on the light.

open up the conectors and spray them good with contact cleaner then used compressed air like for cleaning computer keyboards and really blast the connecter bodies deep and that should do it. Same think happened to mine each time I steam clean the engine.
