Originally my Ranger was in a no start condition where it would crank but no life from the injectors or sparkplugs. The original owner had already replaced the ignition control module and had had no success. When I got the vehicle I went ahead and replaced the wiring harness since the original...

My son's 88 STX Hybrid build had some significant wiring issues. We removed, unwrapped, attempted to repair and reinstalled ALL harnesses. We have 3 wires near the driver's firewall in the engine that are "unattached" and we're having trouble identifying where they should be connected. The truck...

Put on a new Distributor and when you kick the throttle it , it acts exactly as a rev limiter does. Got to dark outside to finish. Gotta get it better in time and double check to see if I missed anything that would cause it to act like that.

Decided to make an account to see if anyone knows anything about the 15amp subwoofer fuse in the SJB on an 05 Ranger. My truck came with no powered door options, no rear speakers, no center console, the base stereo, and nothing else to indicate my truck should have the pins present for a...

My 1993 ranger runs really bad when the head lights or blower motor are on. I've added a body ground and a engine ground with no change. Any ideas?

So, 1994 Ford ranger Splash 4.0 4wd auto Got it pretty good price, kid loved it, big tires, lots of cosmetic stuff. Kids had it before us took out all the interior plastics pretty much including dome light, headliner, a pillar trim, visors, etc., put all kinds of crazy lights under it, in the...

My trusty '96 LongRanger started thowing P0171/174 codes recently and I was finding the truck a little down on power and harder to get good mileage. Now back in my younger days, my engines alway had a "lean code" because I drove Mopar slant sixes and 2.3 Vauxhalls -but that was before the days...

I have three unplugged plugs on the left side of my engine bay. They are between the airbox and firewall. Does anyone know what these could be for? One thing I am realized in the month I have had my 86 is that even when I turn the key on before completely starting I never see the engine light...

Ok I’m new to the ranger station have read many write ups on the 4.0 swap but first time posting. Original Vehicle: 1992 Ford ranger STX 2.9 4x4 manual trans donor vehicle: 1994 Ford ranger XLT 4.0 4x4 manual trans I actually done a chassi swap left all harness intact with the motor and...

On a 120 mile round trip my 2001 3.0 4x4 started overcharging during the first 60 miles and then after sitting for an hour or so while at a VA medical appointment and en-route home, it got worse and ended up pegging (maxed out) the charging gauge about 40 or so miles into my return trip from the...

Here’s the engine and trans along with everything else that came with. I’m looking into a wiring harness but I’m having issues finding one, if anyone has access to one please let me know. Also dash and gauge cluster any recommendations on where I can get those?

Is it normal to have the e-selector button tray on the dash in tandem with a manual transfer case lever? The buttons are blank, no 4x4/Low written on them, but there's have a noticeable click when I press them. From what I've seen on junkyard Rangers, there's usually a fake vent that goes...

2003 2WD 4.0L MFI SOHC 6cyl Ranger 122k on chassis 45k on engine Realized that my O2 sensor at S1B1 is out so I got the part at autozone and went to put it in only to find its connector in the engine compartment was melted and completely fused. Curious that a part like that would fail from...

TLDR: What does the 2 wire connector in the picture go to and how much will it suck to reconnect it?? I have a 150K+ miles 1996 Ford Ranger, Automatic and I've had issues with the transmission. I only paid $1000 for the whole truck so a rebuild kinda ruins my investment costs. I am trying to...

Hello again, is it unwise to place brighter bulbs in my head lights? I purchased 2 sets of bulbs, one that’s 50% brighter and the other pair 150% brighter. If I put either in should I be changing some fuses to higher amp fuses? I’m really only familiar with putting some new speakers in...

i have no brake lights to the tail lights or 3rd brake light 2005 b4000 4x4 so far: replaced pedal switch checked connections to multifunction switch checked grounds on bulbs i have tail lights and signals but no brake lights. i am chasing the wiring trying to figure out what wires go...

Picked up 99 Ranger 3.0, reg cab, 4x4 automatic the other day. 90K miles and it looks pretty good. It ran rough, and the transmission shifted poorly, and there were no dash lights to the 4x4, and no transfer case response. I suspect the GEM is bad, as there are other electrical indicators...

Hi guys, I know it sounds strange but my gas gauge drops to empty after the engine gets up to op temperature. Happens faster on hot days, slower or not at all on cold days. Always works at startup and seems accurate. I'm pretty sure the tank isn't heating up so must be circuit in dash so...

After I got out of work this afternoon, I got in my truck and heard a rapid clicking noise coming from under the glovebox. I heard the clicking as soon as I got in the truck, before I put the key in. I tried to start her up and the engine would not start. We tried jumping her too and no luck...

Hi Guys, new to the forum so I appreciate any help I can get. My battery would die if I didn't drive the truck for 4-5 days, so I decided to check to see if there was any current draw while the truck was not running. I found about 0.23 amps drawing all the time, so I started pulling fuses...
