This may seem like a silly question and a no-brainer for most of you guys, but what are your "creative" methods to repair the stripped screw holes in the plastic rear step bumper pad (2003 XLT) for my rear license plate frame? I know you can just shove xtra large screws in the holes but I want...

Hello everyone, I'm having a hard time finding "good" instructions or a tutorial on how to remove the front bumper on a 2003 Ranger XLT 2-Wheel Drive. Does anyone have an exploded view or a link to a write-up on this procedure ? Also, any precautions I should note such as air bag sensors ...

Hi all, Today, I pulled down my passenger side sun visor and to my surprise, the glass mirror and rectangle plastic frame, fell to the floor on my 2003 XLT. The glass did not break, thankfully. So how do I re-attach the mirror and frame to the cloth visor?? I do not see any fastening...

Hi guys and gals.... Has anyone ever "safely removed" the top rear bumper pad (plastic cover) on a rear step bumper without damaging the little plastic locking tabs, and re-using the pad on a different bumper ? I just bought a nice, used chrome rear step bumper to replace my black step bumper...

On my 2003 XLT I have an OCCASIONAL slight tick when I turn my HVAC fan on. Sometimes it ticks, sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't matter if it is in AC mode or Heat mode.. It's very slight and eventually goes away. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot this? It kinda sounds like a leaf or...

So I purchased 2 spare PATS keys but I can't get them to program with the 2 working keys that I have. This is my second order for 2 spare PATS keys as the first set wouldn't program either so I sent them back. Now this second order from a different vendor doesn't work either so now I believe...

I have a 2003 XLT with 3.0 Flex Fuel and only 43,000 miles. My fuel gauge is now reading full at all times now. It does not go to empty when I turn the key off and it stays on full when I know it should be at least a quarter of a tank lower. I'm very concerned that this may be a big repair...

Two months ago, I bought a 2003 Ranger with only 43,000 Miles on it. It was owned by the Federal Government and appears to be well maintained. My problem is that the front suspension squeaks like crazy (it just started). I looked at the front sway bar bushings and they appear to be a pale...

Hello: Just today, when I pulled the lever to tilt my steering wheel down, the lever had lots of play and was wobbly. It wasn't like that yesterday. It kinda scared me that it was going to fall out :-( Its a 2003 XLT 3.0 Supercab with 44,000 Miles. Is there a simple way to access the anchor...

I can't seem to find a Tailgate Lift Support Kit (with gas spring and brackets) for a 2003 Ranger Tailgate to lower the tailgate gently without holding on to it. Is there a kit made for our Rangers ?

Hello: I am trying to connect a Pioneer Radio to my 1998 Ford Ranger. I just purchased the Metra 70-1771 harness and it did not come with the color code instructions. The OEM Package has the wire color code instructions printed on it and this came in a generic bubble wrap envelope (Not the...
