01 water in diesel light

[team_penin]

I have a friend that has an 01 f350. the water in fuel light stays on all the time. I have replaced the filter and drained the filter housing but the light is still on, any suggestions

Maybe there's a code that needs to be reset?

I'll Check and reset any codes and see if that helps

Thanks

The sensor is in the bottom of the filter cannister I believe and it might be gunked up. Check for a code as suggested and if nothing is found, try re-draining the filter cannister and remove filter and wipe the bowl out with a clean cloth.

If there is enough stuff in there to be fouling the sensor you willneed to remove the heater plate to clean the housing. 2 screws hold down the heater plate and then it and the standpipe come out. Don't get any debris in the hole in the middle where the standpipe was because that is where the fuel goes into the lines to the injectors. While the heater is in your hand make sure that theheating wire is still attached at all 3 points.

Caution, if you are going to remove the standpipe I do believe it is left hand threads.

The standpipe on the SDs is held down by 2 screws thru the heater, not like the 94-97 where the standpipe is LH threaded into the housing and retians the heater.
