I'll work on this tonight. I know there is a lot of oil and dirt all over the starter. A good cleaning is in store. Thanks

That's makes sense. We turned the key many , many times. Thanks

My Son's 1997 Ranger would not start for him yesterday. When he turned the key, we would hear one click and nothing else (didn't turn over). I checked the battery and it had 12.5 volts; that should be good enough, but I jumped him with my truck just to be sure. Then I decided to bypass the...

Check out http://www.metraonline.com/parts/MET-TURBOWIRE and fill in your vehicle information. Although they were rude to me on the phone, they should be able to tell you what you need.

Yavapaires: Any info on the anti theft bypass or fix?

Now I'm confused Looking for a crankshaft position sensor, I keep getting two different parts, One looks to have a shaft that looks similar to a distributor ( Richporter Technology - Crankshaft Angle Sensor) and the other is a completely molded in plastic piece (Master Pro Ignition -...

Great idea. I'll pick one up.

Yes I do. I had read that this may cause the problem but I don't know how to fix it. I've tried unlocking the doors with the key (I thought I read to do this someplace) but that didn't work. Any Suggestions? :bounce:

I have been having an issue starting my 1997 ranger. It turns over fine with a new battery, but will not fire. In the past, if I let it sit for an hour, it would start right up. A couple other times it wouldn't start for 3 days. I replace the fuel filter, plugs, plug wires and coil. It then...

I would assume that if it wasn't seated, it wouldn't work at all. I get it to work eventually. I know what you mean by getting it seated, it kind of slips right up and seems to lock into place. If I get ambitious someday, I'll tear it apart and look at it again. I did try tape at...

update OK, I did the blend door fix ~ 6 months. This is for my Son's truck so I told him not to turn the temperature controls past the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position. I read that this may cause the door to break again due to too much pressure. When I had it apart I saw what they meant. The...

My Son's Ranger started making a vibration noise. It is coming from the vaccum line from the manifold to the Cruise control diaphram on the drivers side fender (same one you were reffering too). Everything that uses a vaccum seems to work, the cruise will spit and sputter a touch, but never...

Epoxy putty OK, I did the fix. I dremeled out the bottom of the plenum and have it duct taped right now. I know this won't hold for long. I want to use some epoxy putty. Is this stuff available at most hardware stores, Fleet Farm, Lowes Menards, Home Depot etc? If not, where are some popular...

Mine is a supercab as was the one at the junkyard. I guess I should have taken the whole dome light unit and swaped it out instead of just the lens.:p:

Most lenses fit 92-02 rangers. I got this off of a 1999, any idea why it wont fit?

That's good to know, Thanks

Today I went to the junkyard to pick up a lens for my dome light. They only had a 1999 supercab, but I thought it looked the same. It doesn't fit. What year range do I need to look for to get the correct lens?

Yeh, the vacuum line posts got a little out of hand, but the other posts are either about different topics or other vehicles that I was looking at. I'm used to the deisel stop forum where answers come almost instantainously. I'll try to be more patient, but I only had a truck overnight when...

Someone told me that they don't make blend doors to replace our broken ones. Is this true? This looks like it would work but I'm not sure. http://www.napaonline.com/NOLPPSE/(S(s1myrgn204wlkm55l5vyhrfa))/Detail.aspx?R=BK_6601810_0115832195#

Thanks again. :D

I posted a thread in the: 1995-2001 Explorer, Ranger, mountaineer and Navajo. I posted in the section in regards to my 1997 Ranger and the post got moved to the Ranger section. The reason I put in the (1995-2001 Explorer, Ranger, mountaineer and Navajo) is that I would think more people (with...

Oh, I've read the sticky; a couple of times. ;) I just want to hear success or failure stories from all the people that have done it. There are a few ways to do this fix and I want to tally which ones work and which ones fail.

It certainly could be, but I still want to see another 1997 engine compartment. Someone definately did something with the vacuum system. I bought a "tee" and hooked to one of the lines and I now have control over my floor, vent and defrost. :thumbsup: Next I need to deal with the blend...

I'd like to hear from everyone who did the blend door fix. What method you did and was it successful. I need cool air for the summer and want to know the best method.:D

In the pictures and some of the threads I see a yellow vacuum line. I do not have a yellow one. Mine are either red or black. I think the black one was added by a previous owner. Thanks for everyones help.
