Wont Start

[Kyle M.]

All right guys. I got a 92 4x4 ranger im working on. It's been sitting for about 2 weeks, I went to start it last night to move it into the garage and as soon as i opened the door i got a strong smell of burnt wires, "ozone" smell. I didnt think anything of it right away just because it had been sitting for a while and i just cleaned it all out.. but as soon as i went to start it, it wouldn't start i got a solid fast roll over but no fire. I dont think i have spark my cousin checked when i rolled it over. We didnt see any or here any. I also listened for the fuel pump to kick in but i couldnt here anything. I left it for the night and disconnected the battery. And figured I'd look though my hayes manual. but i cant find anything i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Keep the truck parked outside (unless working on it) until the problem is resolved. If it goes up in flames in the garage it could ruin your day. Don't know much about electrical, but if it were me, first visually check all fuses, then fusible links, then all wiring, then components. Mabe the mice chewed through some insulation. Good luck.

Or at least disconnect the battery when you are not working on it.
