So I found this on www.ford-trucks.com this morning. It is a catalog showing all the different types of electrical connectors Ford uses along with the part numbers. With all the conversion people are doing on TRS, some of you may find this useful. Probably could hurt to download a copy anyway...

In my 1992 3.0 the Fuel Relay is going nuts, even after I replaced it. I tightened the ground strap bolt coming off of the negative terminal and cleaned the post and the clamp because I heard this was a ground issue. Any other ideas? The engine also seems to be stumbling when started though it...

I have a 1998 ford ranger with the 2.5l engine. Very amazing vehicle but the a/c does not work. Ive had some very smart a/c people tell me to jumper the pins in the switches and if the compressor kicks on then my switches are bad but i have jumpered the switches and still the compressor wont...

Hey, I went through a car wash a couple of months ago and ever since then the driver-side wiper has been misaligned. By misaligned I mean it is pushed up towards the top of the of the windshield. THis throws it off when they are on because it goes to far the driver-side edge and not clearing the...

Hey everyone, I just bought a 2006 Fx4. Some issues I've noticed are the cigarette lighter, power mirrors, and A/C don't work. I think the A/C just needs a recharge, but I'm wondering if there is a common problem (perhaps a fuse?) leading to all of the above. The truck didn't come with an...
