Talked to the server manager at Chaparral Ford And he said if the light comes back on to bring it in under warranty , could be a bad fuel modulator..

Also said just draining the water off should be the only
thing I needed to do ..
Thanks guys for the help..

Fuel modulator? How about water in fuel sensor. They can become corroded. Deppends on whats really in the fuel and how often it gets drained. Deppending on where you are getting your fuel it may need to be drained more frequently.

The guy called it Fuel modulator, he could have meant fuel sensor but will see Monday it's still under factory warranty ... I have drained it two times this week maybe I'll do it again today .... I have been all over this forum looking at all the TSB of my 06 even have the TSB ready for him Monday ...
But thanks for the info Doug !!!!
