I’ll keep you guys posted on my intelligence hahaha thank you

Okay, there’s a real good chance I’m a complete idiot…. I don’t think my truck has one. But if there is, that’s just embarrassing hahaha

I’m not 100% sure exactly what plunger you’re talking about to be completely honest, I’ll take a look later at that aswell when I’m home and let you know what I find out. Are you referring to the piece that goes into the ignition switch?

if your talking the pin at the bottom side of the cylinder, no I don’t believe that I caused any damage at all to it. And yeah it is a manual. I’m absolutely flabbergasted as to why it won’t turn back. When I got home from work today, I’ll snap a couple pictures of the lock cylinder hole with...

Hey everyone, im having an issue with my 88 ranger 2.9L. years ago i lost the keys to this unit and needing to replace the lock cylinder. i did the drilling method to remove the only cylinder and installed my new one. SInce then i have not been able to turn the key all the way back to the lock...

So I tried my theory out, I ran a wire from the ICM to the ground near my rad support. Tested to see I was getting 12V first with the key on. Which checked out. Tried to turn it over and nothing. I also replaced the ICM itself with a brand new one.

I’ve had the computer plugged in for all my tests I’ve done. I’ve only been unplugging it from the ignition control module. When I have the module hooked up with the key on I read 12V at the ground, when I unplug my ICM I read 4V. So to try my test out, you are saying to add a wire from...

Okay, so this is a little bizarre… I checked probed the wire just down from where it connects for the ground inside the cab. I was reading 12V I came outside the cab, probed, was reading 12V disconnected the ICM plug from the ICM, checked at that point. Got between 3.95-4.10V.. plugged it back...

I will rip that electrical tape off and check out my connection aswell after I do this test

Okay I gotcha, so if I was to run a new wire I needs to go back to the same spot through the firewall and connect next to the computer. I’m going to attach a photo of the ground I think you might be talking about. Don’t mind the rats nest of wires right now lol. I have my ground wires on my...

Thanks for the well detailed reply. I figured there was a good reason for the tin foil haha, my next question would have to be. Because there is such a weak ground through that wire. Would it make sense to pick that wire up from somewhere near the passenger side fender well and make a new...

Hey guys new to the forum, hoping I might be able to get some help with my crank no start problem.. I’ll start from the beginning.. i have a 1988 Ranger, 2.9L v6 with manual transmission. I initially had a crank so start problem, wasn’t getting fuel. I had tracked it down to being a loose...
