Mine is a Lariat also. Have you tried this on your truck?

If yours does this, you must have an add-on device. My stock 2019 doesn't have these functions.

60K Ford Motor Company Cars Recalled Over Engine Block Heater Fires https://fordauthority.com/2025/10/60k-ford-motor-company-cars-recalled-over-engine-block-heater-fires/

The 2019 Ford Ranger shop manual states that the intake manifold must be removed to get to the block heater. I looked it up before I posted.

It requires removing the intake manifold to replace the block heater. I would wait for the replacement part as it is pretty involved to do it yourself.

Did the battery go dead or was it disconnected recently?

It is indicating that no one is in the passenger seat, so it is automatically turned off because of this. It is not a fault, but a normal condition with no passenger in the front seat. See the first bullet point in the Note section that I posted above.

I would use a stethoscope to pinpoint the source of the noise.

Also in the manual.

You have turned the Blind Spot system off. In the dash menus, it can be toggled on or off. See the Driving Aids and Instrument Cluster (warning lamps and indicators) sections in the owner's manual for more information.

You will need to get the DTC codes read to begin any troubleshooting.

I would lube the driveshaft spline. When in neutral, you remove a lot of torque loading on the spline and it might not cause a thump that happens when the transmission is in gear, so putting it in neutral may not be a good test for the spline needing lube.

You should check for any DTC codes. They would point you in the right direction for troubleshooting. The program Forscan and an OBDII adapter will get the codes. Many of your issues are caused by a bad wheel speed sensor.

Good to hear that you got it working.

I would say that you have found your problem. The Fan hub should not be doing this. It would seem that its bearing is bad.

Could it be belt idler or tensioner pulley bearings or alternator causing the noise? If it has a grinding sound, it sounds like a bad bearing rather than the fan clutch. If it is definitely in the fan area, it might be the fan pulley bearing. Try using a stethoscope to pin down the source of the...

There is essentially no difference between doing the updates with the engine running or using a charger in accessory mode, except you are not idling or driving (using fuel). If you are driving while doing the update, you don't have to disable auto stop, but if idling in the driveway or in...

You don't have to run your engine to do the updates. You can put a 10 amp charger on the battery and put the truck in accessary mode. Go in the dash menus and turn off auto stop (not to be confused with auto start-stop) so the accessary mode doesn't time out. You will be able to do the updates...

4 gauge can handle 70 amps. 6 gauge wire can handle 55 amps of current. Why would you need that much current for a 30 amp charger? 8 gauge can handle 40 amps and would seem adequate to me. See this web site: https://www.cerrowire.com/products/resources/tables-calculators/ampacity-charts/
