On a 1994 Ford Ranger with a 4.0-liter engine, the ignition module is typically located on the driver's side of the engine compartment, mounted on the side of the distributor. It can be found near the firewall, attached to the distributor housing. If you're having trouble locating it, consult the vehicle’s service manual for a detailed diagram.
