1998 Ranger 4-cylinder automatic. No check engine lights. Running great. Instrument cluster was replaced when we got vehicle last year because speedo did not work at all. Since then, had transmission rebuilt, and had intermittent problems traced to bad GEM. Those problems included speedo...

Hello. I originally posted this as as Transmission problem in other section (http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176201), but now I think it is more of a general electrical problem. 1998 Ranger 2.5L automatic, no power accessories. Occasionally and randomly, something...

OOPS! should say 4R44E, I think. Six weeks ago, son's Ranger suddenly wouldn't shift past 2nd. Also, speedo went dead, and overdrive light flashing. Took to local tranny shop and got talked into complete rebuild. Same problem came up on way home from shop. Took it back and a few days later...

Hello. My son just got a 98 Ranger. Heater isn't working. Fan blows fine, but no hot air when temp adjuster set to hot. I moved the lever on the heater bypass valve by hand, and still no hot air. Did not feel any vacuum in the line going to the valve. I suspect valve is bad or core is...

Hello- 1998 Ranger. When headlights are turned on, the display on the radio gets very dim. Is this normal? If not, suggestions for fixing?

Hello. I'm working on a friend's 1998 Ranger. The wipers work intermittently. I have discovered that wiggling the fuse will make them come on or off. I tried replacing with a new fuse, but same problem. If the wipers stop, I can barely touch the fuse and they will come back on. Obviously a...

So, I just finished completely rubuilding a 1998 SOHC 2.5L. While installing the timing belt, before I had put manifolds on, I noticed some breathing of the valves on while they were closed as motor was turned with breaker bar. On ALL cylinders, both exhaust and intake side. The valves all...

I have a 98 Ranger XLT 1. There is a bunch of dirt behind the glass that covers the guages. It is between the glass and the actual guages. Is there an easy way to get behind there to clean it out? 2. Is the cover for the passenger-side air bag removable? It is all scratched-up and I...

We just replaced timing belt on this 98 Ranger 2.5L. The first time, we messed-up and used the pressed lines in the cam gear and oil pump gear flanges to align instead of the triangle mark. Didn't work too well (3 tooth difference)! Re-did it using the triangle mark on the cam gear, but...
