I just bought a 2006 Ranger Sport 4wd. Most of the buttons on the radio do not work. It's the AM/FM 6CD changer + MP3 How do you reboot a radio? Strange... |

2000 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab-Manual The emergency brake like won't go off. You can pop the break as much as you want, and it will not turn off. Any ideas? It's been like this for a long while. Thank you |

| Howdy folks. I recently purchased a 97 Ranger XLT with the 2.3 in it. The guy who had it before me hit a deer on the left hand front quarter panel. It didn't do much damage, just cracked the grill, pushed the bumper back an inch or so, and cracked the turn signal lens. Here's my issue. When you turn on the left turn signal, both the back right and left turn signals blink AND the brake lights blink. When you press on the brake pedal, both back turn signals and brake lights stop blinking and just stay. However, when you turn then right turn signal on, both the front and back turn signals work just fine. This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen and it has me baffled. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Oh yeah, the dome lamp doesn't work either. The map lights work fine, but the dome light itself won't come on when either of the doors are open, and the bulb is fine. | |

hi All- I'd like to disable the "Ross" back-up module/sounder unit. Unit is very loud when in reverse.. I tried disconnecting a few harness pieces near the rear license plate- but no luck yet. I am an electronics tech by trade.. but haven't spent much time investigating this... Any ideas would be helpful. Thanx, rick in n.calif |

Replying to: bolivar (Jan 10, 2009 10:46 pm) I just bought a 2000 Ranger 4x4 with the 4 doors (2 small doors) and if I hit a bump, the dome light and chime comes on. I have to slam the driver's door to get it off but it comes back on again if I hit even a small bump. I read your note that the dome light door switch is on or near the outside door handles inside the door panels and that perhaps by spraying WD 40 into the door slots it might free up the light switch. Am I understanding this correctly? Should I just pull off the door panels and if so, can the switch be fixed or adjusted? The person I bought it from just took out the dome light bulb. thanks Karl

Replying to: kwe (Mar 04, 2009 9:40 pm) I would think it (the switch) would not be adjustable. I've never worked with the 'small doors', but I would think there would be some adjustments or something to tighten up that would help with this problem. The switches themselves cause a lot of problems, this is reported on forums all the time. So, lubing or replacement of the switches might be enough to solve your problem. But if the doors are worn, it might still happen. Don't the doors lock into some kind of catch or catches at the top and/or bottom of the doors. The latch here might have some adjustment on it, to keep the doors tighter. If the doors hinges are worn, large or small, you might have to replace these. I replaced a hinge on my 1994, the lower one, because it squeaked/popped and would not hold the door in the open position. It wasn't too tough, but the top hinge looked like you would have to take the instrument panel out to get to the bolts..... |

2000 ranger electric door locks only work when they want to Same problem from drivers switch on door or push button on remote alarm. The passenger door is the one haveing problems. Key on drivers door is almost impossible and passenger key works but you some times have to try several times. Both keys are original got truck from my son. 150,000 on truck, we put a low milage engine in truck. Engine had less than 30,000. 3 litre flex fuel engine, are these engines any good. I know I will not use the flex fuel because of higer cost and lower milage. Tryed lock ease in passenger door lock, no change. Could some thing be bent or could I have a Bad ground on electric locks. Bad ground could explain electric locks but not the trouble wit key and manual opening of locks.Could keys be worn from use in ignition (no problem there). I guess I could take vechice up to dealer and have key made from Vechicle number on dash, which would be original key with no wear. SICK LEAVE, Bob |

Hey all; When the truck is turned off and the driver's door is open, if I press the brake pedal the alarm sounds (the same alarm the sounds when you leave your keys in the ignition or your lights on...) Just tonight I found that when I engaged my right turn signal and pressed the brake the right turn signal would stop flashing. When I got home I noticed that the Left turn signal / parking light was out. I removed the bulb and reseated it and it works now. However, my left turn signal stopped flashing when the brake pedal was pressed (the issue moved). The hazzard lights also appeared to have ceased to work. I came back about 20 mins later and everything is now working the way it is supposed to, except for the brake / alarm issue, which started recently. Could this be a simple grounding issue (IE replace all the parking bulbs)? Thanks! |
