Turn your ignition key to the ON position without turning on the engine. Check to make sure your trip counter is on "ODO", not on "Trip A" or Trip B". While you press and hold the trip counter, turn the key to the OFF position. Without releasing the trip counter, turn the key to the ON position again without turning on the engine. You should see the odometer reading turn into dashes (---------). Once all the dashes disappear, the "Maintenance Required Light" is reset.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 2003 Jeep Liberty limited?

The fuel filter on Jeep Liberty's (3.6 liter version anyways) is located right inside the gas tank itself. It is an "in tank" filter. Changing it makes for a complicated job since one can only access the top of the fuel tank in two ways: 1) Drop the tank, or 2) pull up the carpet in the trunk cargo area and there should be a section of sheet metal that easily pops out and allows for access. I strongly recommend taking it to the dealer or mechanic on this one, but I get the do-it-yourself urge often myself, so good luck!
