When driving at higher RPMs, the battery telltale illuminates. This also happens when parked in neutral and simply revving the engine. I was thinking maybe the voltage regulator or the alternator. Any help on how to better diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Truck is a 2001.
Went to start 97 ford ranger would not start. heard load clicking in solenoid area.replaced solenoid.truck started.
drove it once and it did it again replaced solenoid still wont start?

The truck lights will flick on and off while running, if I unplug one of the lights, it will not flicker. I replaced the battery but it is still doing that.
97 ford ranger truck interior light stays on and door adjar light comes on intermittedly, had it fixed at dealer, at 48 thousand miles. Started again at 50 thousand miles, dealer refused to help without our now paying for repair, only days out of extended warrenty. It was first brought in while under warrenty, then it failed again, didn't they not fix it right in the first place?

When i turn my lights on it does not light up. My blinker arrows come on and stay on but does not flash when i us my signals does any one know the reasons if so will you let me know so i can go get it legal with my inspection
For this year the voltage regulator is part of the alternator; if it goes bad you have to replace the alternator anyway. Your local Sears or Checker or Pep boys or Advance has equipment to test your charging system and it costs nothing. I would recommend standing over the person's shoulder and watching, just to keep everyone honest. If they don't let you watch, thank them and leave.
There is a test called "Full fielding" the Alternator: identify the field wire on the Alternator and jump it to a good ground. The output from the Alternator should go to 15 volts. The stator wire needs to be connected for the alternator to work properly. Do not confuse the 2 wires. Field is ground, stator is hot (12v). If your alternator puts out less than 15v, it should be replaced. Voltage should be measured from the BATT terminal on the back.
Seatblet warning light will go out but the warning alarm will keep going off. Ford wants $360.00 to replace the board that the alrm is on but say they can not be sure that this will solve the problem. Have removed the fuse to stop the alarm but then the speedometer quites working. anyone have any ideas to solve this problem
I have a 2003 Ford Ranger and I am having similar electrical issues with the light staying on after I have closed the door sometimes as long as five minutes after starting the vehicle and closing the door or leaving the vehicle. The door ajar light also stays on constantly after the vehicle has been started. I have not made time to take it by the dealership, but am planning on doing so soon when I get a day off.
My signal lights quit working. I have checked the flasher and the fuses,and they seem to be good. My emergency flasher is not working either. Can you help?
My 2003 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 4WD just "clicks" when the ignition key is turned. The truck hasn't started and the speedometer reads 40mph with the key in the "on" position.
I just check my battery and it is good and i just brought a new starter and i went to try to start my truck and it just clicks once and then it doesn't do anything.
On newer ford veihcles the door switch for domelight/door ajar is located inside the latch on the edge of the door. The latch gets sticky after awile and a good spray of WD-40 or Tri-flo lube will fix the dome light problem. A guy I work with had the same problem on his 97 F150, and I just noticed it starting on our 99 ranger...

Re: Mike 2-11-04 I have a 95 ranger and the identical problem is a common problem all 95 rangers? Can anybody identify wires for door chime? Will cutting wirte or shorting it stop chime?
After replacing the starter silenoid in my 1994 ford ranger splash, 4.0l there was no power to the truck, i.e. no lights, no horn no power at all. The battery is brand new. We also replaced the fuseable link. What else could cause this problem
Battery went dead tried to jump it and found out battery was fried. put in new battery worked well but now i have no brakelights,checked fuses what happened
My 97 Ford Ranger has done the exact same thing since the day I bought it off the lot. I also had no luck getting Ford to do anything about it. Unfortunately, I just learned to live with it. Good luck.
Happened today with my pops truck tapped starter with hammer a few times while he tried to start. started right up cost of new starter on internet 75 bucks + core at advanced auto 125+ core do the math good luck there is a flat spot on one of the brushes good luck
My 95 ford ranger is also having problems with the door chime staying on - it happens most often when the interior of the truck gets hot. There's no way I'm paying $360.00 to fix this.
My ford ranger has problems, When the head lights are on and you hit the brake. the break lights dim and the turn signals come on dim. Also if the turn signal is turned on while the headlights are on all the rear lights blink...Tail lights..3rd tail light and the blinkers on both sides.
I have a 1994 Ranger and the blower motor quit working. I have power out of the fuse (brown wire with orange stripe), but no power at the switch.
There are two black wires going into the terminal at the switch. Where does the wire from the fuse go before going to the switch? Where does the wire change from brown/orange to the two black wires?
No power going to blower moder switch how do u fix? fuses are good blower is good power to main 30 amp fuse.need a wiring diagram to find out what is wrong
2001 ranger, battery runs down over night if i don't remove 50 amp fuse.
amperage draw is on radio and instruement panel. is there a relay that protects battery draw when key is off.
