I’ve had issues in the last year where my 2011 ford ranger 2.3l 2 wheel driver xl model has randomly stalled while coming to a stop. I troubleshooted and found out it was related to pushing the brakes or turning on the running lights. The rpms would drop and the truck would shudder and stop. I...

My 1994 Ford Ranger 3.0 has been having an electrical issue that revealed itself the other day by catching fire. I had a major direct short on my blk/org B+ alternator wire in between my inline fusible link and the starter solenoid relay. While the truck was running the short was not complete...

So If anyone viewing this has seen my other threads they relate to this. The previous owner cut back the old wiring harness but left five wires out, I’m wondering what they go to. Keep in mind he races trophy trucks and builds prerunners. I have an idea of what they go to but not entirely sure.
