thanks for writing.
yes, before i replace anything i will get another opinion. the discs are slightly pitted and grooved but everything is working and quiet.
this was for a state sticker and at a FORD dealership. so who knows. (i'm 64 and have never seen a dealership suggest work that was...
was told in July my 2019 ranger will need new rear brake pads and rotors by next year's inspection. the truck has less than 20,000 miles on it! the front brakes look brand new. and i drive like an old man in a prius so wtf?
read something about 'drag braking' where the rears come in first to...
thanks,
i'm trying to avoid the Snoway EIS energy interruption system and the lights i have are old Dietz buckets with turn signal wings.
i get what your saying about the turn signal problems. longing for the days of that 1st generation bronco.

p.s. the ranger is going to Rowe Ford...
does anyone have a 2019 or later Ranger wiring harness diagram they can share. i am specifically looking for the part of the diagram that shows the wiring and plugs to the front headlight/turn signal assemblies.
my vehicle is a 2019 XL. I'm trying to install older style plow lights and need...
i'm dragging my feet on tearing into my ranger to swap the actuator motors. i'm thinking that even with the steering column removed entirely i just don't see how i'm going to get my hands around that one heavy forward dash support. i don't see how it can be done. Has anyone removed the mode...
if you have clicking plastic noises you might have a damaged cam or the small plastic gears inside the actuator motor have stripped and you would need a new motor (and the associated labor to get to it).
if no motor noise than you have a variation of my problem and i still think its the motor...
it sounds like you could have a different flow variation from perhaps the exact same actuator motor or software problem. i assume you have no clicking. can you get a full floor or panel or defrost flow without bi-level?
my floor flow might move a candle flame but i don't feel it with my hand...
something has changed. in past summers i routinely split AC air between panel or floor - i find that in panel only the floor gets stuffy. another reason i am certain of the systems past performance is because i split panel and floor to get my dog some dash air while still heating or cooling the...
exhibit).
your description of the system is excellent and with your automatic control i understand how the zone (vs. mode)doors can further modulate the system.
i don't think that the system in a manual climate control car further modulates airflow depending on environmental inputs...
Roger. i know these motors have little electrical racetracks and fingers inside for positioning. i'm thinking my mode motor is slightly failing in that one postion and swapping them might indicate that. or it might be software. or some physical problem with the doors BUT i can get full floor...
if I'm correct fuse 12 is bundled with 13 and i believe i pulled it before. i pulled it again this morning and it disables the sync and fcim. after i replaced it the fault remains.
is there another way to reset the manual system?
and yes, the bi-level command is echoed by the lit panel and...
sorry about the big photos without labels.
there are two identical panel photos so they go:
panel
panel
panel-floor
floor
floor-defrost
defrost
off
so for my problem the obd ii and forscan sound like a no-go?

p.s. anybody know how to send a 77 mb video from an apple phone? says its too...
i just checked (with a cold car and coolant) if moving the heat control and door changes the flow - it doesn't. I believe i have checked when the coolant was hot but will do so again. Also, as of last year i was able to AC the car and split the flow to the floor which i prefer because with...
will something like this work? are all the connectors/autos the same or are these specific?

I have not had the problem diagnosed by Ford (out of warrantly/$ issues). I also don't know if the auto stores can do it. the fact that the motor is working and not clicking makes me think that the motor thinks it's in the correct spot when it's not. would that show up on a code?
There's a...
I have a 2019 Ranger with a probable climate control mode door actuator failure (i can't get bi-level air from the panel and the floor - no clicking, everything else works).
I'd like to swap the driver side actuator motor with the one from the heat blend door on the glove box side (same Ford...
your technical description is excellent.
my truck (2019 Ranger STX) has a unique problem that i'd love your feedback on:
in the bi-level mode between foot and panel the panel flow is slightly reduced while the floor flow is non-existent.
i can see (after removing some panels and parts)...
it's a Snoway brand electric/hydraulic. ive had snoways since 1996 and i can't say enough good about them. bracket is from them for their light duty 22 series (height) personal plows. they are much quicker than other brands and lift and stack higher also.
