Solution on Ford Ranger not starting.

General Comments:

I've just read comments here at your website made by other 1994 Ford Ranger owners of a problem of not starting and having to wait approx 10 min. before it will start.

I have had this problem since day 1 and only recently found the cause and a quick solution if you don't want to wait 10 min.

Cause; There is a circuit breaker tripping and it takes approx 10 min. to reset.

Quick solution; (takes approx 2 min)

Go to power box under the hood. Open it and there are approx 10 to 20 (depending on options you have) fuses and relays. Unplug and replug each of them (1 at a time so you don't forget what went where).

Ranger will start just fine now. I hope this is of some help.

Happy Motoring. Danny, Del Rio Texas.

So for, I have had no problems with my Ranger except that I think it's underpowered. I hear it's not a great engine for power. The complaint I had from day one was the very annoying door chime that chimed all the time, but I disabled that. It was not useful.

General Comments:

It has run well, always started, survived one complete battery drain. With the original suspension is was very bouncy and always all over the road so I felt compelled to buy an aftermarket suspension after about 6 years. Also, I bought an aftermarket exhaust to try to get a little more power. This has helped a little.

Faults:

The automatic locking hubs went out at about 85,000 miles. I replaced them with manual locking hubs. No problems with the hubs since they were replaced.

I had to replace the clutch at 71,500 miles. 500 miles after I got it. Ford covered the replacement.

At nearly 100,000 miles the syncro gear went out in the transmission. It cost about $700 to fix it. Currently with 115,000 miles it is going out again.

I also have had brake problems with the truck. I had to replace the brakes twice in less than 2 years.

General Comments:

Besides the transmission and clutch problems I am satisfied with the truck. It performs well when everything is working right.

Faults:

Water pump replaced at 100000 miles.

Very frequently, at least once a month the truck decides not to start. After about 10 minutes I would try to start it and it would usually then start.

General Comments:

The engine had decent power when I had the 32in tires on, but when I upgraded and put the 33in tires on I lost a significant amount of power.

For a 2wd this truck does well off road and will not let me down.

When it starts it is a good truck, but it is not very reliable.
