1989 Ranger. Hazard lights work oddly. use replaced both flasher switches in the fuse panel. Makes no difference in problem. Hitting the hazard button, and they work fine, but if I apply the brake pedal, they stop, and are only on solid (not blinking) like a brake light. Is that normal, or...

Have a similar problem on my ‘89. Turn signals work fine. Hazards work, but IF the brake pedal is depressed, the hazards stop, and the turn signal indicators are solid on, like brake lights. Bought new flashers, but still same problem. Also! There is a small handle I can pull, that looks...

Found another one. Rough shape tho. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1271625266614522/

Yep! MAP sensor, and the little can is called a vacuum reservoir on the diagram. The diagram is mostly still there, on the radiator support, but very dirty, and hard to read! ;) Got some vacuum hose from the store, and took the little elbow fitting off and attached hose to the reservoir...

I figured it was a leak, but also wanted to know if I messed something up changing the tranny fluid, and if said leak would produce the sputtering out, and such... And more importantly, after not finding anything in the Shop Manual, without reading it cover to cover, or hard evidence online...

wow. Haven’t been here in a long while with a problem. Knock on wood….. So I was a good boy and decided to drop the transmission fluid pan to replace the long over due filter and fluid. Much messier with one person :) anyway, putting a funnel in the dipstick tube, seems to have broke...

Searched for fuel gauge problems, and i did find somethings to check. All of them more work than im currently in the mood for :) But this one is a bit specific, so I thought I'd try a new thread on it anyway. A few years ago I replaced the fuel level float, sender, and pump as part of a kit...

Im thinking of pulling the driveshaft, and putting on new Universal joints. Went to Rockauto.com, and looked around. I can't tell which ones I need. So far, I _think_ I need: Moog 255 Greasable Super Strength One of our most popular parts At Rear Axle; RWD; Standard Cab Pickup; Using...

I was wondering if there was a handy list of what different cab / bed configurations were available for any given year, or generation of Ranger? Was there at anytime a extended cab long bed?

Its winter again! Time to see if there are any more opinions on my rear bakes issues, that I've posted about before. Basically, they don't want to activate hydraulically. The E-Brake seems to work fine. I've bled them numerous times, put new pads in, new wheel cylinders, new rubber line at...

See: http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96395 ...resurrecting an old topic. Finally got around to bypassing the RABS valve. spliced a line in place of the RABS valve, but left the electrical connecter plugged in. Bled the rear brakes. Had the rear end jacked up, and...

Found something that I've never seen before in the junkyard today. A 1989 Ranger Custom, with Montana Centennial decals on it, 1889-1989. Montana entered the United States in 1889. Attached are a few photos: of the truck in general. of the Ranger Custom logo, that I've never seen before...

making a new post, hopefully some fresh ideas show up. Basically the problem is a low idle. Runs fine otherwise; starts fine, pulls good when under hard throttle. Engine wants to idle around 500 in Drive indicated on the factory tach, and feels very rough. Has never actually stalled though...

I can't seem to find the EGR on my 2.3L motor. I have a 1989 Ranger, XLT, with the A4LD automatic. It has A/C, but its never worked ( I hear no new noise, or get cold air when activating it), Powersteering... I found a drawing in some automotive repair manuals online at my local public...

I changed out the power steering lines, and put in a new (reman) pump from Orielly's. Everything works, fine, no leaks. But its got a pronounced whine noise to it. Like a supercharger sound. Did I get a bad pump? Or do I have an air bubble problem after filling new pump?

I have the 14" styled steel wheels. Any idea how much one weighs? my mom has a spare, and I want her to ship it to me (since I have no spare), so I want to estimate what that'd cost... Its a '89 Ranger XLT, 2wd, long bed regular cab, if that helps. You may be able to see them in my avatar...

Does anyone know of a source of pre-cut and bent brake lines? The hard steel ones. Im trying to decide if i twisted it too far when taking the wheel cylinder off. And or pricing the lines out to replace them on both sides of the axle anyway.

Well, the first measurable snow arrived today! Decided to see if the ABS works on the snow today. Hit the brakes hard, and the fronts lock, as they would, I assume. Not sure about the back brakes. I don't know if I can feel them locking. But in any case, the ABS does NOT activate. I don't...

I just replaced the temp sender im my Ranger. I inherited it, and the gauge has never worked, that I have seen. Always on the far left, at cold. Now, after changing out the sender, and putting in near the same amount of coolant that came out when I drained the radiator Im getting the...

Got some snow today. I can't for the life of me get the RABS to activate; when I stomp on the pedal, it pretty much just locks the front. I get the RABS light when the ignition is at run, but it goes off right after I start the Ranger. And I never see it again. The pedal is quite spongy...
