  1. Backup Slot Location

    Thanks, but the discussion in that thread doesn’t address the question in this one. They’re trying to add on a new keypad where they have all the original code sheets. This question is about 2nd owners who didn’t get those code sheets and are trying to recovery the code.
  2. Backup Slot Location

    I don’t have a link handy but the online version of the Ranger Owner’s Manual has a picture of the location: It’s in one of the cup holders, there’s a logo embossed in the plastic. Shape just perfectly fits the fob when aligned front to back. Bad news is that I was in the same situation and...
  3. Touch Screen Brightness?

    Writing this reply before taking the time to go out to my truck to check, but a previous car I had disabled brightness controls on the middle screen when the dimming control to the left of the screen was maxed out full brightness. EDIT: Some F150 posts say that brightness adjustment is disabled...
  4. TruXedo Pro X15 Roll Up Tonneau Cover Install

    Revisiting an old thread here but I have questions I couldn’t find definitive answers for: Are there any issues installing on vehicles with factory spray-in bedliner? Saw some mentions of chasing threaded holes with a tap, but no install instructions or video I’ve seen show anything but clamps...
  5. Loud at start up and 1st gear

    If you check out the patent I linked to in my preceding post you can see how they might be related. It says that depending on how the fan is oriented when it stops moving could influence orientation of the drain channel, allowing fluid to leak out of the reservoir or not. I assume the...
  6. Loud at start up and 1st gear

    Thank you for this great clue @P. A. Schilke! Led me to learn about how viscous coupling fans work and I found a patent that describes an issue that pretty perfectly lines up with my observations on my Ranger. Others can check out the ā€œDescription of Related Artā€ section for the clearest...
  7. Is this normal?

    That’s a great question, and I admittedly learned something by digging through some literature. It looks like there has been a lot of academic research (example) into implementing AEB and FCW using a single camera. It’s interesting to see some of the challenges and solutions they came up with to...
  8. Is this normal?

    I have to disagree with the characterization that this slanted line on the windshield glass is somehow involved in distance detection. As a disclaimer, I am not a Ford engineer, but with some publicly available information we can be fairly confident that it's not the case. As for why it's a...
  9. Rain Sense Wipers

    I’m willing to bet that the original design intention was that you use the wiper stalk the same way as without rain sensing. You push it up one notch into the intermittent position when it’s raining and you push it down into the ā€œoffā€ position when it stops raining. The only difference will be...
  10. Success recovering keypad code with both keys?

    Really appreciate the info, all. Hopefully that helps me fast-forward the discussion with dealership past the usual methods and see what other solutions they can offer. I’ll update here if/when I learn something new.
  11. Success recovering keypad code with both keys?

    Apologies, I intended to include a link but forgot. Video of procedure for keyless fobs Ranger-specific key location
  12. Success recovering keypad code with both keys?

    @tm1506, asked the dealer first and so far they haven’t been able to retrieve it for me. That’s why I was hoping there would be a backup method I could use. Anyone with a working keypad, I’d be really interested in whether the two key procedure works in your Ranger to display the factory code...
  13. Success recovering keypad code with both keys?

    I bought a used ā€˜21 Ranger Lariat, has the door keypad installed (and on the window sticker). Didn’t come with the printed factory code card, so I’m trying to find an alternative way of using the keypad. I’ve tried very carefully following a few YouTube videos about how to use both keyless-entry...
  14. OBD2 accuracy??

    Having worked with CAN data on a lot of off-highway vehicles I would say that it's good to keep in mind that most values you can read with an OBD tool are NOT intended for direct human consumption. If it exists on the vehicle network it's there to do a very specific job, and the intended...
  15. Basic recovery gear/skills

    I came up with a similar list as @subquark. One other popular item is a 12v air pump; Viair seems to be a popular brand. That way you can lower tire pressures to get more traction and still air back up when you return to the road. EDIT: I also grabbed one of those Slime brand tire plug kits in...
  16. Missing piece of roof gutter moulding

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’m not super confident in my parts search and I only saw what looked like the whole piece front to back. Has anyone has that gutter cover trim piece off before to know how to reattach it?
  17. Missing piece of roof gutter moulding

    Used vehicle, not sure what happened to this piece of trim. Can anyone help me identify the replacement part and how it would be installed? The remaining piece of trim is loose at that back edge. Not totally sure how the back cover is supposed to be held on.
