Can Someone Do A Guages/bulb Check For Me?

Just need to hold down the odometer button and turn the key on without starting the engine. The reason I'm asking is because my "water in fuel" light doesn't come on when I do this and I'm wondering if they're all like that or if there is something wrong with mine. It is located below the tach between the washer fluid and the service 4wd light (at least on my 06). Please let me know the result. Thanks.

Hey Dog, my 05 has a symbol for the "water in fuel" light and it DOES light up when I test. I hope that helps.....

I dont think holding the odometer reset button and turning the key on displays diag codes, it only does a gauge test, correct?

Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all these key tricks? like how to find engine hours, diag codes??? I am wondering if there are any more??

I thought it should considering EVERYTHING else lights up. I'm bringing it in tomorrow so I'll add that to the list. Thanks.

The text “C Code” is displayed in the odometer VFD for about three seconds. If there is no stored fault information, the display will show two pairs of zeroes in the format “00” “00”, which indicate that the display of fault information is done. If there is stored fault information, two sets of two-digit alpha and alpha-numeric fault codes will appear in the odometer display for a three second interval. The first pair of digits represents a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), or fault code for the instrument cluster. The second pair of digits is a counter for the number of ignition key cycles that have occurred since the displayed DTC was set. The instrument cluster will continue to display additional sets of two pairs of digits at three second intervals until all of the stored codes have been displayed, which is again signaled by a code of “00” “00”. Refer to the Instrument Cluster Failure Message table for a description of each fault code that the instrument cluster displays. If an instrument cluster fault is displayed, use a DRBIII® scan tool to diagnose the problem. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Bingo! There is supposedly a new update to make that go away! Talk to the Smarty boys before the dealer looks at your truck!

i know i just didnt want to take it out and hook it up if i could do it with the truck already. i am pretty sure i have no codes though.

im i thinking right about the gauge test and getting diag codes are 2 different sequences? i think the gauge test happens when you do the on/off 3 times and hold the odometer reset. but i dunno someone will need to confirm.
