Happy Holiday greetings to all. To start, I'm not having any problems. Just upgrading several different items and anticipating swapping to a turbo charged engine. My question is about electric vacuum pumps. All the pumps I'm finding are booster pumps, but what I want is a stand alone vacuum...

Thank you franklin2 and RonD for your expertise and the pdf's. Forgot to mention in my post that I wanted to stay inside the cab if possible. After studying the schematics I feel I was on the right track with the gray/yellow wire. That wire brings the 12 volts to the mode switch so the purple...

Dropped by a local Ford house yesterday to get an electrical schematic of the A/C system. Although I did get one, it is just an overview schematic showing what devices are connected to what. My go-to person for these schematics told me that is the best he could do because Ford has removed the...

Good answer! I like that. :) That must be why my glasses would fog up wearing one of those Covid mask.

Thanks for the information Ron, and for your reply. Because I live in a fairly dry climate, think I'll come up with a manual override. To give you an idea of the climate here I'll tell you about this past July. We had a total of 5/100's of an inch of rain for the month. Believe that is 1.27mm...

Hope someone here can point me in the right direction. My problem is with a 2002 Edge. When I turn on anything in the heater control panel, my A/C wants to run. In other words, if I turn on the heater or defroster, the A/C compressor is cycling on and off also. Any tips as to what to look for...

Thanks rubydist, I didn't know that.

Thanks for your input guys. My plan was to add to the BJB whatever terminals needed to give me a 30 amp circuit to power the fan. If I can also add a relay to the BJB that would be great, however, I do have a relay & saddle I could mount near the BJB. This is not a show truck. It is my "work"...

Has anyone ever opened up a Power Distribution Box like the one found on a 2002 Ranger?

Read your reply alwaysFloored and figured your "internal leak" was referring to the check valve. None the less, thought I'd chime in with my experience to let jeedee know that problem wasn't uncommon. Sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes.

Want to add a circuit to the Power Distribution Box (or if you prefer Battery Junction Box) for an electric cooling fan. Have been told that the PDB comes apart (upper part lifting off), however, I don't see anywhere my PDB comes apart. My truck is a 2002 2wd Edge with 3.0/5 spd. Any...

Recently ran into the same problem. First thought it was my crank position sensor because the tach pointer didn't move during cranking. Swapped crank sensor with one of my other Rangers. No change. Then checked fuel pressure. My problem was a leaking check valve. Even though the fuel pump was...

Ever had trouble changing a 3-port fuel filter on the later Rangers? Believe I'm referring to 2000 thru 2012. Perhaps uttered a few nasty words because there wasn't enough room to use your fuel line unlock tool. Maybe end up struggling with a hacksaw blade as I have, then cuss even more trying...

Thanks much RonD. First thing in the morning I'll follow-up on the information you provided.

Have an electrical problem and without a Ford Service Manual, I'm stuck. The truck is a 2002 Edge 3.0/5 spd. 2WD. Problem is my instrument cluster is dead. No gauges, tach, speedo, odometer and/or warning lights. The turn signal indicators work as does the anti-theft light that blinks. Other...
