I think it would be pretty difficult to truly diagnose this noise (assuming yours is like mine) without pulling things apart a little. I can hear mine when I first start the truck just for a quick second when the engine first takes. Then I hear it at around 2500 rpm just when I'm releasing...

Which year are these for? That looks like the blue light - which I do think is discontinued. The green light is still available.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with these folks. I've had very good luck with their parts people being able to look up and find parts. I can't comment on shipping to Canada - but shipping within the US seems fairly reasonable. At least the US Dollar is still dropping - maybe it'll be...

Here you go. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=213787 Use the "Search by Factory Part Number" function and use this number F87Z13B765DA (assuming it is the same as my 1998 ranger). :thumbsup:

My local dealer wanted ~$11 for the light and ~$60 for the switch. You can get an aftermarket switch from your local parts shop (napa, checker etc.) for around $30.

Another possibility is pushrod/lifter rattle. I get the same thing - in the same rpm range from my 4.0 OHV ranger.

There is a "drop-in" replacement from Ford - the part number is in the other thread. I had to got through three different dealerships before I found one who would actually look it up instead of trying to sell me a new switch :rolleyes:

It could also be a part of an aftermarket remote start setup. Mine has one so the engine can't be started by the remote while the hood is up and you are working on it :eek:

Well - I couldn't find any lightbulbs at radio shack that were the right size with the right leads. Plus I didn't really have any way to make the light green. So I decided to try LEDs. It turned out to be a bit of a mess. 1 LED just didn't seem to be enough light - and it didn't seem to...

I know this is an old thread but I'm going through the same thing right now and thought I'd post up with the part # for the ford part. The little bulb and socket with the green cover is part # F87Z13B765DA and it costs $11.43 at my local dealer. I too am going to try the cheapo radio shack...
