I recently purchased a 1986 Ranger and enjoy it....but noticed the other day that the emission light came on and has stayed on. The manual says that is normal @ 60,000 miles. I purchased a service book and it said to reset this sensor locate a hole under the dash that is .2 inch diameter hole marked with a "reset" sticker. I guess you take a phillips screwdriver into this hole and then turn the ignition on while continue to hold the screwdriver in on this button for 5 seconds. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the "reset" sticker...maybe it fell off. Could someone tell me where this would be located under the dash -- driver's side or passenger side or any more specifics?
Thanks, Chris Rhoades

Hi Chris-
Go here:
http://www.ford-trucks.com/archives/...2000.I103.html
Scroll about 2/3 of the way down the page and there is a discussion from there to the bottom of the page about how to do the reset in a small module near the steering column.
BTW, I found this by doing a Google search: "emission reset Ranger sensor dash".

Welcome! Bob can find anything, lol.
On those older trucks, you're not really resetting a sensor, just a "counter" that automatically triggers at a certain mileage. The reason was because the EGR valves in those days were pretty crappy and had to be serviced or replace periodically. I may be wrong about what it was for, but that's basically the idea even if it wasn't EGR.
