This must be a short person issue. I’ve never used them or hit my legs on them. Need a poll.

Fun fact. If you have a dandelion weed problem, tortoises will make short work of them..... and other flowers. Phil's not joking about leg strength. As a kid I built many a failed iteration of brick barriers around the garden. They always barreled it over or if to short just climbed over...

Might very well have been one of the babies. I remember my uncle rushing them to a specialized vet and bandaging them up. Grandma had them for awhile but was too worried about them with three legs and the irrigation. This was 30+ years ago. I seem to remember a woman from the Zoo coming...

First day rear seat got removed and bed installed. Soon after Carhartt seat covers. Baby boy goes everywhere in the truck. Teaching my wingman the birds and the bees Kindergarten Cop style. Edit. Had to put on YouTube because I'm video challenged here.

Tortoises are amazing little guys. My grand-parents had a pair. No joke about escape proof. They would dig under the chain link fence in no time. Grandpa was pissed when grandma made him put chicken wire underground to stop them in their tracks. I spent many a weekend tracking them down...

I would say so. Either Ford was nice to Bronco owners and gave them a handy OEM spot to grab power from a distribution block or more likely other models use those spots.

The copper on the MIDI or Bolt Fuses is tinned and in this case actual Tin (SN). This protects against corrosion. Other companies like LittleFuse will have a specific alloy that affects the slow blow timing while also providing corrosion protection. The tin (solder) will have a much lower...

I would think thats one of the exact spots you wouldn't want to make a connection. You are adding more current draw to a known circuit. You should be making a connection upstream of the fuse at the battery with its own fuse. That fuse sure looks blown in the picture. You may have a sliver...

When I bought my vehicle back in November this is basically what the service manager told me was coming and they were preparing for. His take was that they would still have a few models on the lot for test drives and for in person viewing along with some select colors. Used cars would still...

I think you have to break this down into buckets to diagnose. This get's convoluted trying to type out the scenario, but here's the ole college try. You have two circuits, left and right, with four current draw sources. Left stock light housing Left after-market signal Right stock light...

After battery replacement, or in some cases after charging the battery with an external charger, the battery management system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep time to relearn the battery state of charge. During this time your vehicle must remain fully locked with the ignition switched off...

Are they stock LED tail lights and turn signal lights? Hyper flashing is indicative of a burned out bulb or too low a current draw. Ground fault would just trip the e-fuse in the BCM, and would reset on a key on/off cycle. I've seen your wiring, so I'm purposefully not going down the road of...

The current sensing circuit is part of the circuit board that makes up the BCM. In a broad view there will be a precision amplifier (PA), resistor (possibly a 1%) , and most likely an analog to digital converter (ADC), or scrap all that and use a resistor and an integrated circuit (IC). This...

Each of the vehicles four corner turn signals are on a separate BCM circuit(s) to regulate the flasher(s). Hyper-flashing is indicative of a non functioning bulb, and you have already determined that the bulbs work. Swapping to the opposite side isolates the problem to the other side (left)...

Got the oil done and tires rotated late yesterday and they tested the battery. Both checked out fine after about an extra hour. Talked with the service manager and they have seen this a few times and its not just Ranger specific without any perceivable cause. He put in a report to Ford...

Be nice if there was a circuit that was not tied to the BCM. The pigtail kits are nice and if you have an issue easy to disconnect. Never got around to researching, but located on the drivers side front inner wheel well, is a capped two wire connector tied to the body. If you peel back the...

Ditto here. If I wasn’t in Northern Idaho seven months a year I’d be closer to 2000 a year. 30 miles a day for pup cups and a trip to town adds up vs five a day in AZ. Yes the pup is spoiled rotten.

You can go to parts.ford and put in your VIN and search for "side step". I think this is the common part number for Bolt HB1. I would avoid HD as you may want an automotive grade bolt there.

Yes it goes into the dealer for the oil change before I head up north and will have them inspect the battery and systems while there.

@Progeny2021 The vehicle is basically new and the terminals are spotless. I do have a tender but I don't think thats the solution as I do drive daily, just not that far. Truck started just fine this morning, if the battery was bad or going bad the short drive home yesterday and the truck...
