wiring diagram

[mikie]

None of my manuals have enough detail in the wiring diagrams, Chilton, Haynes, Clymer or internet search and I am trying to get a factory manual with no luck. What do you folks use when your are down to tracing wires, connectors and especially grounds? 88 Ranger 2.9. I dont want to buy a new harness unless absolutely necessary.

You want an EVTM for 1988 Rangers

Google: 1988 ford ranger EVTM

Found this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Repair-Maintenance-Shop-Manual-Bound-Ford-Truck-Ranger-Bronco-II-Evtm-1988-/282314097873

And this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Ford-Ranger-Bronco-II-Electrical-Vacuum-Troubleshooting-Manual-OEM/383636113933?hash=item59527e8a0d:g:0z0AAOSwg~RfEMag

There maybe others

Ford sends out a shop manual set every year for every model, to every Ford Dealer, one of these books is the EVTM, it lists all wiring and locations for that year, also any changes during that year
Includes all engines and transmissions used, and all options available that year
Very detailed

You can get the whole 1988 Ranger set but MAKE SURE it has the EVTM included as that's often sold separately
