Electrical Wiring Manyuals
I have a 1999 Ford Ranger, and am in need of the electrical schematics
(wiring diagrams) so that I can troubleshooot a problem I have with a four wire trailer lighting system. The running lights work, but the turn signals, brake lights, and flasher signals do not work. Does anyone know where I can purchase the factory electrical wiring manual for this Ford Ranger? Thanks for any help, Bob |

Thanks for any help, Bob For the manual if you want a factory manual then go to the dealer. There is probably a phone number in your owners manual where you can order a manual in book and/or CD by phone or online. If you want to save about $100.00 then get a 3rd party repair guide such as Haynes or Clymer from an autoparts store or online. I had problems with my trailer wiring and found that my custom bumper/hitch does not provide a sufficient ground through the hitch/ball. I have to take some jumper cables and clamp from the truck frame to the trailer frame in order to get things to work. Kevin |

Check all your fuses in the truck. On my explorer (yes also a Ford) there
is a seperate fuse powering a set of relays that operate the trailer interface cable. I can hear them click only when a trailer is hooked up. If you installed the cable and connected the trailer and there was a short, you will have blown that fuse. If you wired your own harness, you still may have blown a fuse but it should knock out the lamps on the vehicle as well. Check the continuity of the trailers connector from each wire to the common ground. You should see bulb resistance not a short and not an open. "seniorgeezer" wrote in message ups.com...
