Hello from Arlington,Tx where its been 105 last few days and counting. I have an '88 BII with factory roof rack. use it very seldom, has adjustable rails and locking gadgets for ropes. you might go to a Ford dealer and ask some of the 'old' mechanics or salesmen there about how its fastened to...

I have a 1988 Ford Truck Shop Manual for Ranger/Bronco II I got from Helm's on-line. its about 2 inches thick and is a lot better than Hayne's book. FPS-12013-88 (Litho in USA August, 1987 on back cover) is, I believe, the library number. this is published by Ford Parts and Service Division...

Tnx,, yes that's what Im thinking too. This has to be a wire that gets power when the key is on/engine running. maybe a hot wire rubbing against the tail/parking light wires in the fuse box. Why would replaceing the fuses with the right size cause this problem? that fuse panel is a b---h to get...

Yes sir,, 1X1 replaced, while consulting the Helm's book and the schematic list on the fuse box cover. 20, 25, 30s. double checked there were a couple fuses cracked or dis-colored due to age but still functional cause the wire inside was not broken. there were a couple also wrong size/color...
