  1. Brake warning light comeing on

    samayeam, Sorry but I do not know the code. but note that earlier post said the code had to be read while the engine was running and the warning light on.
  2. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    I've now towed my 2019 Ranger 4800 miles with no problems. I don't shift into park to check as Phil does but I do roll the Ranger to make sure it is ready to tow. I also take a picture of the display showing that the truck is ready to tow. Now I'm going to knock on wood.
  3. Brake warning light comeing on

    The part number for the brake sensor on my Ranger is FL3Z 2C444 B. The grommet is part number F7UZ 2B176 AA
  4. Brake warning light comeing on

    I just finished two 1000 mile trips at highway speed and no longer receive the brake warning that I had prior to the brake sensor and grommet being replaced. My problem appears to be solved.
  5. Brake warning light comeing on

    Got the new brake sensor installed and the mechanic also discovered the grommet for the sensor was torn and replaced the grommet. I'll have to wait and see if these two replacement items solves my problem. If it does not I'll be back on and let you know.
  6. Brake warning light comeing on

    Finally was able to get to the dealer while the brake warning lamp was lit. The code says it is the brake sensor on the power brake booster. That is the sensor located on the bottom of the booster and almost impossible to access. The dealer ordered a new brake sensor and I'll get it installed...
  7. Brake warning light comeing on

    Visited my dealer with no luck. No codes were set. Their suggestion was to drive straight to the dealer when the brake light comes on and don't shut the engine off. That was my plan anyway but who knows when this will happen again? Should I ever get this figured out I'll come back and post...
  8. Brake warning light comeing on

    Anybody else have the brake warning light coming on and a message posted to check brake system? It is the same light that comes on when the emergency brake is set. This happens to me after driving 30 or 40 minutes continuously, or perhaps 30 miles or so at highway speeds, and stays on until I...
  9. Towing 4 Down

    Pvsaint. I would have preferred that type of mounting but my cover is soft and won't support the light bar. All of my brake lights on the truck come on when I apply the brakes in the motor home so I don't worry about not having enough visibility for the brake lights. My mounting does reduce...
  10. Towing 4 Down

    There is no place on the rear end of my Ranger to attach a magnetic light. I fabricated a mounting board that fits on the bumper so there is no contact with a painted surface. I cut a 1 x 4 length of wood about 22 inches long to fit between the cut down portion of the rear bumper. Then...
  11. Towing 4 Down

    I've been following this thread since its beginning to see if anyone has had serious problems towing the Ranger 4-down. I'm pleased to see there are very few if any problems. I've towed my 2019 Ranger XLT 4-down behind my diesel motorhome for over 1800 miles so far with no problems. I use a...
  12. Battery Isolator Install

    Why not use a Bosch type auto relay controlled by 12 volts that is only hot when the engine is running. A diode is going to give you about a 1 volt drop, the relay would not. I would fuse both the lead to the coil of the relay and the connection to the extra battery.
  13. Base Plate as a Recovery Point

    Rich. A tip. Use a checklist for your complete tow hook up and one for setting the Ranger in tow mode. Use the checklists every time you get ready to tow and don't try to have a conversation with anyone while you are setting up.
  14. Incorrect connection to truck.

    It appears the license plate is a Nevada plate. Be aware if you are traveling in that state.
  15. How To Adjust Hood Latch To Better Fit A Bug/Rock Deflector

    I've got a 2019 XLT and just installed the AVS II bug shield. I started to adjust the hood catch and removed the two T30 torx screws and the 5 plastic push clips form the panel but my grill is different that the one shown above with no openings large enough to get my hand into and release the...
  16. Base Plate as a Recovery Point

    The only concern I can think of is in recovery procedures you may be putting more load on the brackets than when towing. From the drawing you submitted it appears that you are using a Roadmaster QD bracket. Those are what I have on my Ranger. From what I've seen I believe the mounting of the...
  17. Transmission trashed during flat towing.

    So an obvious question for those with the blown transmission and all of us wondering about the need for a charge wire, did the truck start when you disconnected and tried to shift the transmission out of tow mode? Or, was the battery dead?
  18. New Rangers as Toads and key in ignition?

    SMI has the Stay in Play braking system. I've a friend that installed that system in his Honda CRV and really likes it. Much like the Air Force One you don't have to install anything every time you tow.
  19. New Rangers as Toads and key in ignition?

    I use a Towmate 22G wireless tow light. Transmitter plugs into the coach trailer plug. The light and transmitter need to be purchased with the correct connector on the coach; 4-pin, 6-pin or 7-pin. The system cost me $220. I was going to have the Roadmaster kit installed but the labor cost...
  20. New Rangers as Toads and key in ignition?

    A local locksmith. Have to find one that has a laser cutter though.
