Default 1996 Discovery SE7 - Service Engine Light

I am trying to reset the Service Engine Light on my 1996 Discovery SE7 vehicle. I have seen the instructions about some "gray box" on the passenger side, but I am not able to find this gray box - there are a lot of other cables, but no gray box for emmissions.

Does any know how to reset this light on my SE7?

Also, my fuel pump was replaced, now my fuel gauge does not work. Did the mechanic forget to hook something back?

My ANTI LOCK light has always been on for as long as I can remember - is this normal?

Any help is appreciated.

Grey box is actually red-ish. Just remove it.
Resetting the Service Engine Light

The float probably fell off the new pump. That's what happened to mine. Did he replace the entire assembly or just the motor inside? I replaced the entire thing, and the ended up reusing the old fuel sender plastic, with the new electronics. The new stuff wouldn't stay together.

Someone may have pulled the fuse for the ABS because it was acting up.

Just REMOVE it? How do you remove it? And won't that cause complications?
I too pulled the Anti-lock fuse, I never could work out the issues.
I noticed that "reset" link posted is no longer functional.

The "Service Engine" light relay can be removed. Take it off, throw it away, drink a beer. Job done.

Or push small screwdriver in slot covered with tape, shorts and resets, and do it again in 60K miles, retape to keep bugs and dirt out.

My anti-lock light has been on for 5 years. It wasn't on at first but the brakes would pulse like crazy every time I stopped like I was hitting rumble strips on the highway, and it took forever to stop. Disconnected abs and have not had a problem since. a piece of black tape will take care of that light...

Your link is dead. Could you PM me on where to find the box and what it looks like?
Thanks!
