After a hard day of wheelin', my 1995 Ranger 4x4 4.0L 5-speed manual is having some problems...
Here are the symptoms:
-No crank. When I turn the key, I get clicks but no cranking. However, if I run 12V directly to the starter or roll-start it in gear, the engine starts and runs fine. There's no battery or engine problem.
-4lo won't disengage.
-Speedometer doesn't work.
Based on those symptoms, I'm afraid I have more than one issue. The first thing I did was check the clutch safety switch. I swapped it out with a good one which didn't help. The fuses look good.
I crawled underneath and looked at the vehicle speed sensor. Does this look correct? (pictures below). I can't see any wires coming out of it which I find weird. I guess that could be a 180* connector which wires running up on top of the T-case from that blue part. I can't find another picture online, so someone who has seen one please clarify if it looks normal.
If the VSS is bad, that would explain the speedo not working and 4lo not disengaging...but it doesn't explain the no-crank. I'm guessing it's a relay or the ignition switch.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
