#12 of 21 Re: 2000 Ranger XLT Fan Blower only works on High [bc2005rl] by bolivar Dec 27, 2008 (3:51 am)
Replying to: bc2005rl (Dec 26, 2008 10:02 pm) The fan is only 1 speed. Slower speeds are obtained via a 'resister pack' that reduces the voltage to the fan to get lower speeds. This resister pack is burned up, so the lower speeds do not work. The highest speed does not use the resister pack, so it still works. The resister pack is on the top of the fan housing, under the hood, on the passenger side. Replies to this message: bc2005rl (Dec 27, 2008 7:52 am)

#16 of 21 Re: A/C Runs Constantly [drosnick] by carolinabob Apr 23, 2009 (8:23 am)
Replying to: drosnick (Jun 23, 2008 6:29 pm) Same problem on a 97 Ranger. The switch does not push it, just turns and has always worked that way. I can turn the system off, but any other setting turns the AC compressor on. 85,000 miles and just started doing this a couple of weeks ago.    Anybody have any ideas?   Thanks
#17 of 21 1995 Ranger air only blows on windshield by i_b_vapor May 28, 2009 (1:03 pm)
My '95 Ranger blows air only on the windshield no matter what position I select on the control head. Also, switching from A/C to Max shows no change in fan speed whereas it did before. A/C still works. I've looked at the vacuum lines I'm aware of under the hood and inside the truck and see none that are broken or damaged in any way.   I notice that when I turn the heat knob I do get heat and I can hear a motor of some kind and what I think is one of the doors move if that makes sense.   Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions on approach to find the cause?

Replying to: i_b_vapor (May 28, 2009 1:03 pm) Rangers of about this age have real problems with breaking a shaft in the air valve controls. It's a real tough problem to fix this. If the shaft breaks, the valve will not move. I think it might even require removal of the dash. And the valve costs quite a bit to replace because I think the whole housing has to be replaced.

#20 of 21 Ranger 4L, XLT vibrates, 162k by buster15 Oct 24, 2009 (9:40 am)
In the last two weeks I am getting a small vibration. This happens in drive stopped with the brake on. It seems to happen when the air compressor kicks on. Is this a sign of a bearing or the whole air compressor unit going. Any other things I need to look at? Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 26, 2009 5:58 pm)

Replying to: buster15 (Oct 24, 2009 9:40 am) Well, if the vibration can only be felt with the compressor engaged, then yes it's probably a compressor bearing problem.   keep driving it until it get worse. Don't drive it until it get really worse or it could freeze up, etc. But if you are only feeling a pulse at idle, the compressor might last for quite a while like this.
