What would a deployed airbag have to do with a no crank no start condition on a 1996 ford ranger 4.0 2wd?

Was running fine when i shut it off last time i started it .everything else works just wont crank or start.

The air bag issue locks out the starting system

Deployed or not the computer thinks it is.

SOURCE: 1996 Ford Ranger will turn

Sounds like a bad Ignition Module which would cause no firing of the plugs. Pull the #1 plug, put the plug wire back on it and hold the plug (with insulated pliers) to the metal on engine. Then have someone start the truck and see if the plug is firing.

SOURCE: Takes time to start up a 1999 Ford Pick Up Ranger

Check the MAP sensor and the fuel pressure at the shredder valve. Before you try to start the engine, cycle the ignition 3 times to the run position for 10 seconds apart and then try starting the car. You may be lossing the fuel pressure prime. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to hlep.

SOURCE: 1996 Ford Ranger won't start

I had the same problem , and if you read your book, it could be the fuel pump shut off switch, mine was bad and went from on to off position, its usually under the passenger side of the dash, look underneath at the "top" of the carpet, and you'll see a little red switch, check to see if the thing is plugged in , if it is , check to see if the switch is all the way down. i had to get a new one , sombody must have kicked mine and made it broken, but i got a new one and it worked fine

Airbags have deployed. Car will not crank

What is the reason for the deployment of the airbags , did you hit the car or they open with no reason. If you hit the car there is fail safe mechanism to stop the engine automatically.

Airbag light stays on 1996 saab 900s what to do

The most common cause for your air bag light is a faulty sensor. In this condition, the airbag cannot be depended upon to deploy in a collision. In almost every case, replacing the airbag sensor will solve your issue.

Front impact crash & airbag did not diploy

Airbags have specific criteria for deployment that determines whether impact was severe enough to deploy bags or whether only 1 stage deployment is needed or may decide impact was minor enough that deployment of airbags could potentially be more dangerous than the actual impact. For instance I was on the expressway last year going 65mph and someone rear ended me at over 100mph. Totaled my Ford Focus, her airbag did not deploy. Over certain speeds depending on the vehicle calibration, and airbag should never deploy. With an impact under a designated speed or over a designated speed a deployment can be dangerous. As long as your airbag light was not on before the crash I'd say your system was working properly and did not malfunction. If your airbag light ever comes on just keep in mind that any airbag malfunction will disable the system and turn on the light

2003 ford ranger airbag light is flashing code (46) it flashes 4 times short pause then 6 times long pause

46--- Driver Pretensioner Circuit Resistance High

That means the buckle in you driver side seat belt system has failed. It has an explosive device called a pretensioner in it which is designed to pull you into place microseconds before the airbag deploys. That component has failed and has deactivated the airbag system. You will need to replace the 'buckle pretensioner'.
But before you do, please get real familiar with the system you are working on before you cause additional damage, hurt yourself or deploy the bags accidentally.

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger w/ a code 19 flashing on the dash, The bags were blown , have replaced them and the air bag computer still have a code 19 Any ideas?

you will have to replace the Restraint Control Module to clear the error. Until then the airbag should not deploy in a crash. It should be located under the radio.

The part will run in the neighborhood of $100

Abdiver:where the heck is the passenger side airbag switch and light located on my 1995 ford ranger

My 1994 F-150 doesn't have a passenger side airbag, and if the 1995 Ranger does have passenger airbags, it would not have a way to disable the passenger airbag until later models (after a bunch of kids got hurt by the airbags deploying). If I recall correctly that wasn't added until somewhere between 1999 and 2001.

96 ford ranger will crank but wont turn over

Try pressing a fuel reset button located under passenger side dash,far right side. I believe this is a rollover saftey switch that shuts the fuel off.
