New guy here, I have a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT with 4.0 V6, 2 wheel drive. My probem is that everytime I hit the brake pedal, my right turn signal lights up. This includes both front and rear lights as well as the dashboard light. When I turn the signal on and hit the brake, the signal will not flash, take the foot off the brake, the signal works fine. Any ideas? Thanks

Replying to: dazedmc (Apr 14, 2009 10:14 am) In fact, I meant to post this over the weekend but didn't get the chance... Check the mini fuse (perhaps in the driver's dash / door area - not sure on a '97). After booking an appointment with my mechanic who said it sounded like it was brake related, I decided to check the fuses. I thought it would be one of the larger relay types but as it turns out it was a 25 amp mini - #17 to be precise (the cigarette lighter / Data Control Link fuse). So, my advice would be to check all of the fuses and see if one of them was blown. Good luck! |

Own a 1999 Ford Ranger. Front Parking Lights come on with head lights. Back parking lights do not. Same when parking lights are turned on. The turn signals do not work at all. Checked the bulbs,OK. Changed out the flasher, no luck. Can not read voltage at the rear parking light socket. All other lights work OK. Any Ideas?

| I have no passenger rear blinker, tail or brake lights. When blinker is turned on it blinks rapidly indicating the bulb is out. Nope, changed front and rear along with every applicable fuse and some. At first, I had tail light but would not intensify to illuminate brake. Now they're all gone. Very odd, but when I start to roll down my driver power window...I hear that distinct blinker sound just for a second. Half the dash lights are out also. How can my Br. in-laws '82 Ranger have zero problems but I've had electrical problems with a '98, '00 and now '02? Come on Ford....Toyota is smoking you. | |

90 Ranger PU, daughters...poor Alt not charging, dies when batt disconnected, nothing from volt meter. 2 plug connectors Large, 3 wires, 2 big and 1 small Small, 2 wires, both small No wire on large connector every reads anything on digital meter. Shouldn't 1 of the two large wires read batt voltage when unplugged and key off or on? 1 wire on small connector reads batt voltage when unplugged, and key switched on. Isn't small connector field exciter and regulator? Isn't large connector battery charge output? 2 new Autozone (yea I know) alternators, 1 new batt. Still, alt good or bad cannot work if one of large wires lost connection to batt? All fuses have been checked. All wiring checked visually. This vehicle does not have stack of wires off the solenoid, but has one large wire into harness that diappears into adjacent fuse block. Do Rangers have an issue with failure of batt wire to alternator? I am stuck like Chuck on this one and need to get this poor rag back to daughter to get her to work. Thanks...-Eddie-
