#112 of 188 93 Ranger 4.0 not starting; new battery by mr93ford1 Sep 30, 2008 (4:15 pm)
Replaced battery two days ago, started and ran fine for 2 days. Now the same issue as before-the dome light(and all lights, radio etc) come on, when I turn ignition key, I get one click and all lights go out, stay out. Same exact symptoms as before replacing battery. Possible short, or solenoid? Again, it worked fine for two days. Help! Thanks in advance!

Replying to: mr93ford1 (Sep 30, 2008 4:15 pm) Check both battery cables. Check closely for corrison inside the rubber, near the connectors, at both ends of the cables, but especially at the battery.   Messing with the cables to put a new battery in gave a good connection for 2 days, then it failed again because several of the wires are eatten up, inside the rubber insulation.   If the cables are ok, then keep checking 'downstream'. Solnoid or a bad starter. Replies to this message: mr93ford1 (Oct 01, 2008 8:51 am)

#119 of 188 94 ranger intermitent start by maloy_1 Nov 13, 2008 (3:55 am)
For the past year and a half my truck will just decide not to start once I have driven it.. I have put a new fuel relay switch in, but done nothing else. If I wait sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 4 hours it will start. What the heck is the problem? Runs great otherwise, 126,000 miles, small 4 cyl. Will sometimes do this 5 times a day (yesterday) and then won't happen again for a couple months, then again maybe it will. help!

Replying to: joray (Jun 06, 2006 4:10 pm) did you find the problem? I have the same problem. I took it in and they said it must be the fuel pump. I had the filter replaced already. But another mechanic says it is the computer module.   any ideas? Replies to this message: maloy_1 (Nov 21, 2008 3:34 am)
