That occurs when the brake Master Cylinder's low fluid level switch makes, indicating low brake fluid level. It is your last line of defense, meaning your brake linings have reached the "impending metal to metal" disaster level...

http://oldfuelinjection.com/?p=95 ^ Some good info about fuel lines and reusing barb fittings in that link. They sell proper steel fuel tank sealants, like this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-900056-4/overview/ If it is a plastic tank, they sell sealants for those too, although I...

Cruise control.

The same as an Explorer. If it's a 4.0, try to find out if the timing chain cassettes have been changed / updated. Over here is the good forum for those trucklets: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php

Sounds like you need a 3.0 Vulcan. You can find those in the Taurus. Here's an article on that engine you might find helpful. http://www.enginebuildermag.com/Article/2179/rebuilding_the_ford_30l_v6.aspx Many people HAVE put the Taurus engine into a Ranger WITHOUT replacing the head gaskets...

The fuel pump relay socket will have the green base. Brown is the PCM.

This link says that circuit is Hot at All Times. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/EDiagrams/files/Diagram_Powerdoorlocks_1985thru1988.JPG

Just drive it already. That factory gage is notoriously "off", really just an advisory. Even on the newer models, when I run the ScangageII and watch coolant temp, I'll see a 15 degree swing on the scangage and the factory gage barely moves. If you're THAT worried about it, add an aftermarket...

This is easy, assuming you can use a voltmeter. Find the inertia switch (usually about where the passenger's toes hit, under the carpet). Leave its connector ON. Using the red + meter lead, probe into the back of both wires so that the lead (or a paper clip straightened out) touches the pin...

http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/EDiagrams/files/Diagrams_ElectronciEngControls2_9_1of3.JPG The PCM (EEC) relay has to work for the fuel pump relay to work. Replace that. You may also be having the classic ICM problem. It is mounted on the distributor and is known to fail when...

That 86 has those rubber bushed pins to mount the calipers. Try a new set, they're cheap. The other thing I always do is add a nice bead of that CRC Disk Brake Quiet goop everywhere the pad touches. Put a ring atop the piston and dabs on the ears and back of the stationary pad, after cleaning...

What a beautiful "survivor"! You got a great deal on that truck. Window: sounds like you need a new regulator (requires drilling out a rivet and replacing the regulator, and the rivet becomes a bolt/nut). Door lock is probably a bad lock actuator, 4wd shift is probably a bad shift motor (or...

99 could be either 4.0, OHV or SOHC. Mine was a 99 4.0 SOHC Eddie Bauer. 5.0 would be nice, but that SOHC had a lot of power, to me. That price is high for something that old, to me.

I've always liked the look of the BII. Came close to buying a couple, but didn't pull the trigger for various $ reasons / other projects. I've gotten fond of the 2 door Explorer Sport models, but would only consider one with a stick and 4wd. All the upgrades you could ever want to put on a BII...

Those two wires going to the inertia switch connector? Splice them together with a Scotchlock. If that fixes it, relace the inertia switch and remove the Scotchlock. My $$ is on a bad fuel pump relay however. Another thing to consider is the PCM relay. If IT isn't working, neither will the...

Private message me your mailing address. I'll send you a couple as a late Christmas present.
