96 Taurus
Here was the plan...
1. Warm engine... then disconnect battery. Let engine cool.
2. Replace the DPFE.
3. Clean the MAF (With great care for the little wires - I heard Windex does
the trick)
4. Replace the PCV
5. Restart car.
And here's what happened...
2. DPFE was a piece of cake.
3. MAF was a little trickier. I could not remove the MAF unit from the air
intake housing; the plastic unit was attached to the air intake housing with
a couple of tamper-proof Torx screws. One of which had the head capped with
some sort of glue. I started to whittle the glue off the top of the screw,
but when I looked down the housing and saw those little wires (those
fragile-looking little wires), the angel of wisdom whispered in my ear,
"There's probably a reason they don't want you taking this apart." So,
uncharacteristically, I heeded this voice, and put the air intake housing
back on.
4. PCV valve, another piece of cake.
And after a small offering of blood the middle finger on my right hand, the
car started and the light has been off.
Thanks to everybody,
Steve

THey didnt do that for YOU... they did it to keep out:
Beer guzzling guys with torn Cleveland Brown jerseys and "#3" on rear window
and precocious 10 year olds who want to "help out"
Small vise grips to start the screws out then replace screws.
If you've ever done any electronic repair work, Like replace a PC CPU - you
could handle it...
I told you how.

Ain't this something, it's American car but no one can figure it out what's
wrong? Anyway, the lights are on, dash lit up everything but fuel gage.
What's wrong.
Thanx.

Considered the possibility of a dead bulb?

Re: 96 Taurus
Has it occurred to you that you may need to replace the
light bulb?
