Just quick question on the led light swap in the dash.
I changed them all (T10 and T5) issue I am have is ABS flashing, the Battery dummy light lite and the 4- low light
But when turning on the dash lights the 4-low goes out but the battery dummy light and the ABS stay lite??

Any one else have this issue and if so what corrected it or what LED bulbs did you use.
I switched those warnings back to Incandescent and the issues went away (I hooked up ABS, SRS, Code reading and got no CEL or engine codes)
What I am wondering is what type (LED) should have been used??

This was on a 1995 Ranger XLT 4X4 4.0L Automatic

Some of those circuits need a certain amount of resistance from the indicator lamp in order to function properly. The LED does not provide enough resistance. I simply put incandescent bulbs back in the ones that needed them on mine.
 
Thank You ericbphoto for the quick reply to my question.

yes that is what I ended up doing for those three warning/indicators just put back in the incandescent bulbs.

I hope this helps any other searchers to correct there issues also with the LED BULB SWAP
it only affected the BATTERY, ABS, and the 4X4 LOW indicators.
