What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Venom_z89]

First place to look when throwing multiple codes is fuses...next on list is wiring harness connections....

I did I checked all 3 panels both positive 125a fuse to bussbar and 50a I believe
then the fuses under the cover under hood as well as under dash. no blown fuses. wiring doesn't look stretched or pinched but I haven't done any meter readings on wiring yet.

all the faults forscan showing. @Rhino looks like I did over extend the rearend lol. I'll splice and remove that section of wiring and solder a longer section in.

Couple of problems with that link...

There's an Auto Zone across from that Oreilly. Their parking lot was pristine. Wonder if that speaks to level of clientele/pricing?

Took 4 stops before I found the right color. Didn't have the Motorcraft. Got a Dupli-Color brand. Not really looking like the perfect match they claim.

Amazon doesn’t deliver to Hawaii??

Certain things. That prob falls under haz-mat because it's flammable. Most of our mail travels on commercial flights. Can't order things like battery packs, and some sellers won't ship things with internal batteries either. Depends on the seller, I think. I found others that would ship the paint pens.

REI is another one that's supper nanny about it. they wouldn't even ship me a Garmin.

money, money, and some research. I need to see if f150 rear lines are longer as well as parking brake lines also see if they'll work if they do ill go with that. but for now till then before I damage more stuff I'll probably make some chain straps until I get funds and research and cross reference stuff. hopefully my fuck ups and adventures help others though.

idk if you're messing with me or not, but forscan is scan tool that allows you to scan all modules and programs on ford, lincoln and mazda. also allows to make changes in the way relays open and close chabging parameters in which your vehicle reads the pcm

Isn’t that just great? I love when Amazon suggests that I just simply change my address to something 2000+ miles away. I feel your pain. When I need batteries, I turn to ebay those guys ship whatever with zero cares. I think I got my hot pepper red paint pen from ebay too.

It’s not what I did more like what I’m going to do….HOWEVER what I did do today (well last night) I ordered a trac electronics one touch up/down module for my passenger side window (supercab). They’re based in Australia so it’ll be a bit till I get it, but I’m excited nonetheless. I wish they just had that as a feature.

Ah not messing with you I’ve never looked into anything about forscan so tbh never really figured out what it is

Hmm, I guess because you're in Hawai'i? I send games there on occasion and postage is the same as any other US state for me (that's via USPS).

But I suppose the real issue is that this paint is Adult? As in XXX? LOL

Glad you found some but that's a bummer if it doesn't match.

And if I'm guessing right, yours is a white Ranger and white automotive paint is very difficult to match because blue is added to white to make it look brighter. From my understaniding, that's what those little blue crystals are in things like Tide detergent, they actually slightly tint your whites to make them look brighter.

Good luck with what should have been minor but is now turning into a true PIA! =(

Dude!! So what happens when these trucks go on lifts???? The tires and axles or front axles, 2wd 4x4 , etc just hang from the truck! Oh well, glad you found the problem. Maybe it was the jarring shock of the bounce, who knows?

Before and after pics.
The bed cover installs like crap! Really? Thats the best it can fit? Oh well, used ford points and it will help my tailgate from getting really scratched up.

And of course
The tailgate strut assist re-install!!!
