I know it's not "extreme" but humor me. This what my buddy posted on another site concerning his problem.

I have a 98 ford explorer sport and just yesterday saw a light on the instrument panel that does not appear in the manual. Of the 3 panels its on the righthand panel at the bottom left of the panel. it came on briefly then went away. It looks like a gas pump, and was yellow/orange color. There were what looked like water drops beside the pump. Since I know this is not the low fuel indicator (had a full tank), I'm really curious to find out what it really is for.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks...

That was telling you you're low on blinker fluid.

I guess Ford finally stepped up to the plate and put a sensor in for that, huh?

it might be an indicator thats used on export models. They sometime have wierd things we don't get here...

I never noticed such a light on my '98 Explorer. I think you might have a better chance at getting an answer over here: www.explorerforum.com

Sounds like it could be water in the fuel warning/indicator? Like paul said go over to www.explorerforum.com and he can get all the info he needs.
