I have double checked my notes and read everything I could find previously received from both of you. I feel confident I have all of my bases covered with the initial wiring for test start purposes. But then again, four or six eyes are better than two. Here is a quick rundown of the wiring changes for my application, please let me know if either of you see something I may have missed or forgot to list below.
Vehicle: 99 Ranger, 2wd, regular cab, coil spring, 3.0L V6, auto trans.
Engine, engine harness, battery harness, power block harness, and ECM: 01 Mountaineer, 2wd, 5.0L.
PATS deleted.
1. The starter had two wires from the Mountaineer battery harness that were attached to the starter. Y/LYB & ?
2. Small engine harness 12 pin plug combined: Y/LTB-Starter, R/Y & BK/W-AC High pressure switch, GY/W & BLACK-AC Compressor clutch.
3. Small engine harness 12 pin plug not combined: DG/WH-Oil Pressure sending switch (Removed and routed to Ranger 42 pin connector, chassis side). R/WH & BK/W (Rwenzing mentioned the Explorer connector may have two additional wires for the message center) These were not used on my application.
4. The Alternator wiring was not changed. 5.0 Mountaineer harness was used.
5. Auto trans to Manual trans conversion. Brake/clutch pedals were changed and the clutch safety switch wiring was connected from existing pigtail plug in dash harness. Brake switch was reconnected to original wiring plug.
6. Tach wiring has not yet been revised.
7. O2 sensors are not installed.
Questions:
1. I had a note about the starter relay wiring/revision. Is there anything I need to change in regards to starter wiring?
2. The 99 V6 Ranger was original equipped with the FLEX FUEL option. It looks like the wiring for the FLEX FUEL sensor can simply be unplugged and ignored without any repining. The correct fuel lines have been installed.
3. The 99 V6 Ranger was originally equipped with an Automatic transmission. Is there any electrical/manual safety equipment that needs to be changed in the steering column that will interfere with start up? I noticed the push button safety switch for “Key Off” is not present on the Automatic trans Steering column.
4. Based on what you see here is there any reason the vehicle should not start?
Thank you both once again for all your help over the past few years.
