Ford Ranger XL

In the Underhood Fuseblock located in the Engine Compartment, just beside the Battery...

If you are just trying to replace the headlight bulb; 1. Turn on your lights to see which bulb is out.

2. Purchase bulb

3. unscrew the cap on the back of the bulb that is out.

4. Unplug the wires connect to the bad bulb.

5. Release the metal holder that holds the bulb in place, this involves pushing the holder in then down, sort of like opening a safety pin, you might want to use a long screwdriver to help you push the holder in and down as it is a cramped space. Once the holder pops open (it will not fall off, just open) remove the old bulb and replace with the new bulb.

6. You can use your long screwdriver to position the bulb but do noit put too much pressure on the bulb.

7. Once the bulb is in position, you can use your screwdriver to refasten the metal holder back to the closed positon.

8. Reconnect the wires.

9. Test the light.

10. if all is well, put the cap back on.

check the fluid level in the tank or radiator. Check the top radiator hose when the car is warming up, is it hot? If not it might just be your thermostat that needs to be replaced. Or it could be that your heater core is plugged up. You don't say how old a car this is in, some times you can take off the heater hoses and connect a garden hose to it and back flush it and get some of the junk out of it, just don't turn the hose all the way or out can blow a hole in the heater core, then you have a mess. If you are not handy, you can go to some place that power flushes the cooling system and that may fix it also. Just hope you don't have to get a new heater core as they are a pain to put in in most cars and costs a lot to have some else do it. The core doesn't cost much but the labor is a lot.

If it is a -TBI- then the pump is mounted in the gas tank, but if it has a -4bbl- then it should be mounted on the engine block passenger side.

The 1999 Mercedes-Benz horn relay switch can be found on the drivers side front quarter panel. The horn relay switch will be behind the headlight assembly.

If it won't unlock with the key, this means that the rod from the key tumbler to the door latch has become disconnected or is broken. If you can get the door open, you will need to remove the inside door panel and look in through the holes to see what the problem is.

usually you have to press, or pound with a hammer...if the joints are riveted in you need to break the rivets, perhaps with a chisel...on rare occasion the joints are not servicable and the whole control arm need to be replaced

Look under the dash between steering column and driver's side door, you may have to lay on your back to see under the dash and take a flashlight, the fuses are marked around the outside of the box to tell you what they are for, and under the hood up next to the firewall on the driver's side is another set of important fuses, different type than under the dash, but take a look, they are also marked as to what they control.

It sounds like it may be low on fluid, or maybe a dirty filter. Depending on how the vehicle is operated (Hot Roddded, Lead Foot, etc.) it could even be the clutches. The best way to find out is to pull the dipstick and check the fluid. This is while the engine is running, the vehicle is warmed up, and in park, on level ground. Pull the dipstick out, and wipe it off on white paper towels. Does it look brown? If so, this would be a danger sign letting you know that the transmission needs to be rebuilt, or replaced. If the fluid is red, almost a candy color red, then the transmission is probably ok, but the fluid is probably low. Put the stick back in, and pull it back out again. See where the fluid level is on the stick. There are two marks, and it should fall somewhere in between, if not, closer to the upper mark. If that is ok, then you need to find a trustworthy shop, or a friend that knows how to change transmission filters, because this would be your next step. If the fluid is low, have some put in to see if that fixes your problem. Then find the leak.

its in the back of the rear left tire on top

very simple remove 2 screws holding housing around lever, then u can access switch without any problem i think only remove 2 taps. i worked on my 99 ranger this should be same.

It's in the On-Board computer and isn't replaceable. its built-in to the alternator. Both of you are wrong!I bought one from Auto Zone it's kinda triangle shaped and flat! smaller than a pack of smokes.The guy at auto Zone told me it was on the fire wall at the back of the engine but i can't find it.It cost about $20.This is a good question! I need to know also so please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fuse is located either under the dash or in the engine department. If you look they should all be labeled. In addition there is a handy fuse puller located under the dash as well.

!

It us under the hood to the right of the battery (labeled) once you remove the fuse box cover and yes there is a fuse puller under the dash.

I think that either your radiator is plugged up, not allowing your coolant to use the full volume and/ or surface area of the radiator. Also, your thermostat might be stuck closed not letting your coolant to circulate through the block. And last thing, make sure that your electric cooling fan comes on when the car gets above 180 degrees. My answer is to replace your thermostat, flush and clean your cooling system (by a professional radiator shop)with a strong cleaner, and make sure there are no leaks in your cooling system, your car has a closed system, a leak will make it over heat too.

I have a 1984 econoline 350

The switch is located on the passenger side fender wall, under the dash, inside the cab. My is a black box about the size of half pack of smokes, with a white button on top.

Now what is it for?

Hi,

No Gross Vehicular Weight (GVW) is given in stats., but towing capacity is a maximum 1,360kg braked. This is a highly respectable tow weight for a diesel vehicle. Hope this helps.

yes

According to www. the ranger station. com ( no spaces ) technical library in 1998 the Ford Ranger went to a Dana 35 IFS front axle . The Dana 35 IFS switched from a reverse rotation gear to a standard rotation gear . Check out the website for more information

It's located in the fuel tank, so needless to say the fuel tank has to be drained and then remove the tank from the vehicle.

high intermittent idle is not a problem it is idling up to keep fan running at right speed to keep engine at correct temp

That is if it's hot.

Please state more information on your engine and what you've done to troubleshoot the problem so far. Mine does this too, maybe a Ford characteristic?

Ok had this problem too and wonder if this is the problem with all the Toyota's too.

1996 2wd manual 4.0 would race to 3000 rpm and randomly the engine would quit. the check engine light came on and i checked it with an obd 2 scanner. came up with p1307 engine idle control undesired engine speed. went to auto zone and purchased part number ac473 engine idle control valve for about 50.00. replaced valve on top of engine on driver side in about three minutes. problem was corrected and no more problems. just wanted to help because i have learned so much from others on the Internet about car repairs. thanks Gary Day.

That depends. it is 2wd or 4wd ? My 91 Ranger is an XLT model with 4wd and the sticker on the door says P215/75/R15 S. Open the drivers side door and look for the sticker. It will tell you what size tire is recommended for your truck.
