Filter Minder® Visual / Electrical Switches

Filter Minder® Single Position Switch Indicator

Air Filter Restriction Monitoring Indicator / Switch

Single Position & Signal Indication / Threaded Mount

 

How It Works

The Filter Minder® Single Position Switch Indicator is a combination single position indicator and switch. The window turns red when the maximum recommended air filter restriction has been reached and a signal is sent to the filter warning light on the dash or to the engine computer to record as a diagnostics fault. The warning light locks on until the indicator is reset.

The Filter Minder® should be reset whenever the service indicator is checked to determine air filter restriction or when a new air filter is installed. Push the reset button at the end of the service indicator, and the position indicator will return to zero.
