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, i.e. no wipers, no dash lights. I ran a can of sea foam thru the engine and it smoothed out and ran great. For a few minutes. I found a blown 30 amp fuse in the power distribution block under the hood. Replaced the fuse, hit the key and the fuse blew immediately. AND now the truck won't start. That's where I left it tonight. I will have to figure out why it won't start tomorrow?
Any suggestions as to where to start would be greatly appreciated. I suspect I may have activated the anti-theft somehow? But tomorrow is another day!
