The block heater on a 1995 Ford Ranger is in the engine space under the hood. The plug for the heater block is located near the front of the engine.
On a 1995 Ford Ranger : The heater blower motor is in the ENGINE COMPARTMENT , near the firewall , on the passenger side of the engine
It controls the flow of water from the engine cooling system into the passenger compartment heater core.
Behind the A/C compressor on the engine block. 3.0 liter engine
follow the heater hose at the rear of the engine and you will find it.
After the engine is warm up and hot - feel the water hoses to the heater and test if they are HOT- HOT. NO?- The water valve may not be letting hot water go to the heater core.
The heater valve may not be engaging or the heater core may be blocked.
same way as any other block heater... ========================================================== Your Ford Ranger block heater is just like the heating element in an electric kettle . As long as the electric block heater is plugged in to an electric outlet that has power to it , the block heater keeps on heating the engine coolant if everything is working correctly
You will fail emissions. If you dont figure out a way to make that EGR work.
New AC compressor for my 93 Ranger was $156.
The compressor is ran off of the belt drive which puts a strain on the engine. This is more noticeable on a 4 cylinder than a v 6
Check both the supply and return heater hoses from engine to heater for blockage or clogging: remove them and flush. Also check the inlet and outlet pipes on the engine and heater core for gunk buildup and leakage.
