Hello. I have been working on my 1999 Ranger for a little while trying to get some codes cleared to pass smog. I recently changed the DPFE and pigtail...the Check Engine light did not come off and the car still showed 3 codes.
However, shortly after driving it (100 miles) the Check Engine Light suddenly went off!? I was surprised thought something worked after driving it a few cycles.
*I went home and plugged in the OBD II reader…..and still have the same 3 codes. So, can the Check Engine light just go out?
*AND...when I turn on the Head lights all 4 indicator lamps light up in Orange across dash. "Gas-Oil-Temp-Voltage".....but only with headlights on.
*Any input is appreciated. I am a DIY…so, not a Pro, or even a semi-pro.
Signed---frustrated.
