Ford explorer check engine light

I have a 2006 ford explorer with v8. just bought this car. i notice the check engine light does not light up when first starting the engine. in fact it never comes on. i think someone disabled it before i bought it to hide some codes maybe. i would like to fix it. does it have a replaceable bulb?

Unless a code has been set the light usually comes on with the key set to run with the engine off. Suggest going to your friendly auto parts dealer and have them connect a OBDII scanner and check for codes. This service is usually complementary!

Some codes (Catalytic converter) can represent a significant expense but not interfere with the driving performance.

Blower on a 2006 ford explorer

Absolutely it is possible.

That blower will work and will make your Explorer VERY happy.

U can take the vehicle to an Auto parts store and they will check for stored codes and go from there. With the gas gauge it could be fuse or sending unit.

Hope this helps some
