I am having the same problem. My highbeams and turn signals work but headlight dont work. The problem began some time ago when the headlight wouldnt turn on, but when i tapped the signal switch which also turns on the high beams it popped on. So i figured it was some wiring going bad, because everything else worked and even now still works (high beams, turn signals, wipers). Anywho does anybody have a clue to what is going on and how this can be fixed? is it a easy fix? Im going to investigate at a couple auto joints and if find anything i will report back.

I have a 99 ranger. What reason would my right hand side turn signals not work. The bulbs are fine... but only the right side does not work. Any ideas?

This is one answer ive heard so far, and im still checking things out. The highbeam switch/blinker/washer has gone bad. The wiring for the headlights and hig beams go through it. Obvious because when clicking it foward go highbeams to stay on they dont work, they only work when you pull the switch arm back towards you where you must hold for the lights to stay on. The part can be a little over 100$ brand new, but ive been told to go to a scrap yard and ask about that part, you could get it for like 25$. The part is easy to replace yourself.
Take off the steering wheel neck guards and the switch is held on by 2 screws, detach the wiring and replace with new switch, and put everything back in order.
 
This is only one opinion ive heard, and we may have diffrent cases, but ill let you know what total deal is with my lights soon.

Well, I don't have a electrical diagram, especially when you don't tell what year Ranger you are talking about.
 
What you need is a mutlimeter, and pull the first connector in front of the tail lights. Put one probe of the multmeter into one of the connector and have a friend help.
 
Have the friend turn on the headlight, the turn signal, and put it into reverse, and push on the brake - while you move the probe around the connectors. This will show you what wires handle what functions.
 
I would think you are looking for the backup lights, to trigger the camera....

headlight issues by mark150

I have a 93 ranger with headlight issues - lamps won't come on when I pull the h.l. switch out - all others do (parking, tail, etc...) - power at fuse inside engine compartment, fuse good, no power at lamp - put in new headlight switch, same problem. Lamps come on bright when you pull in the dimmer switch, but not with headlamp switch - i don't get any lights (highs or lows)

Looks like all power goes thru the 'multifunction (MF)' switch just after the main headlight switch. MF is the left side 'stalk' with turn signals, high beam, etc. This switch may be bad.

Grounds? I didn't say anything about grounds.

I said the multifunction switch may be bad.
