Hey all!
I'm at a roads end with getting my ranger 2.9 -88 running again. It just died on me when starting it up after winter.
I think I have located a problem, but dont know how to poceed. The fuel pump relay semes to work just fine, but the signal to it is funky. When I turn the key I get 12v on both terminals on the signal/activation side (fuel pump side is fine). Not for two seconds either, but continously. With a positive 12v on both sides the switch obviously won't activate. (Jumping it the pump works fine).
How do I proceed? I'm at a loss, and electrical stuff at large messes with my poor ol' brain.
Is my engine brain shot? It runs on starter gas/breaklean.
(I'm Swedish, so my technical vocabulary isn't the best. But I'm not as stupid as I might sound... )
