Hi i had a 1994 ranger with the same problem everybody said change the coolent temp cencer so i did it didnt realy seem to help so then i thought and thought and i realized that mabey my starter is worn and doesnt have the whirl power to start it (even though the starter sounds fine doesnt mean its not worn) so i replaced it with a brand new one and it started every time real quick after no matter how cold and later on found out this is a common problem with the ranger. good luck hpoe this works for you

SOURCE: signal lights and brake lights stopped working

the multifunction switch (turn signal switch) is a major cuase of this. your high mount stop lamp wire is run through the switch.

SOURCE: 87 ford ranger wont start without starting fluid

It sounds like you aren't getting fuel out of the cold start injector... remove the injector when engine is cold and switch on ignition... you should get a fine spray pattern for a few seconds... if not then there is probably a problem with the cold start circuit (Temp sensor fault), or the injector is faulty. pull electrical connectors one at a time and look for corrosion... Hope this helps...;-)

SOURCE: 2003 Ford Ranger hard to start when cold. must

you may just have a weak battery, or a battery that is not designed for the cold. I would recommend having your battery test at your local autoparts store.

97 Chrysler.cirrus starts runs good,when you shut it off it won restart unless it sets for about an hour. Head lights,over head light, Windows ,dash light all work ,but it won't crank over.

Starter motors and solenoids often sieze when hot towards the end of their service life. You may need to replace the starter. How many times will it start in a row Without running it long enough to heat up. If it will start four or five times cold then fail after warming up and the alternator is charging the battery at 13.5- 15 volts you got a bad starter.

Abs light stays on and is flashing a i think acode

hi Robert

you can check the ABS fault code as following:

switch ignition on and wait for the abs light to start to flash.
it will flash in long and short flashes, long flash stands for ten, short flash stands for one, there is a short pause in between, and long pause after each code, take a note of the code and Google it
good luck

Dash lights, parking lights, and brake lights quit working on my 1993 ranger. headlights still work. help!

ABS light is on because brake light circuit is down. Did you replace the park lamp fuse? Check trailer light connector if you have one.

replace the Oxygen senson before catalytic converter this sensor tells the computer to send signal to fuel injectors to allow rich mixture upon start up for warm up then leans out mixture as it heats.

1993 4.0l v6 ext xlt

Sounds like your fuel pump is going out on you. Check your fuel pressure. You should have 40 psi when the key is in "on" position. You should have no less than 5 psi under that when it's running.
