check your fuses?

 

ive done that they are all good... jw are ther fuses under the hood

 

yes, there are more fuses under the hood

 

can u give me cule where at cuz i cant spot them i have the 3.0 v6

 

They should be in a plastic-covered box under the hood near the cab on the same side as the battery.

 

ok ill take a look

 

Check fuse #11 in the underhood distribution box.

 

did you cut the factory harness or did you buy one of those clips?

 

It's be helpful if you actually said what YEAR the truck is as well, since some of those things change over the years.

 

well i did exactly what he did i accidently hooked up the orange wire to the red wire and popped every light fuse there was..every time i turned something on it popped it took me 10 fuses until i figured out what i had did......that was 3 years ago and iam a little smarter now...lol i bet thats whats going on here

 

its a 1998.. i got one of thos clip things from walmart... ill look it over other then that i have no cule wats up

 

English please

 

lol... i bought a wiring harnes from walmart so i woulnt splice into the factry one

 

i'll translate: he said; "it's a 1998,
i purchased an electrical harness for my new cd player that clips onto the trucks stock harness. i aquired this harness from wal-mart. i'm going to go and re-check the trucks electrical again and see what happens. other than that, i really have no clue as to why my truck is not working properly. Please, could anyone assist me in fixing this problem?"

 

thanx bro... u told them better then i could... i hate typing

 

Ah, thanks. Under the hood there is a small, black box very close to your battery. Make sure all the fuses in there are OK, and then make sure that you close the box. If you find any burnt fuses, replace them, that should do it. However, if you replace the fuses and then they blow again, chances are that you have a short, so check every connection, every wire and make sure everything is hooked up right. Also make sure you didn't accidentally unplug anything, or the other wires are loose in the sockets. Lastly, be sure you close the hood before driving.

 

ok i do that my next day off till then no nite driving

 

i dont have fuse #11 under the hood

 

Yes you do

 

You have a 98 Ranger. The 98 Ranger Wiring Manual and the 98 Ranger Owner's Guide both say that there is a #11 in the underhood distribution box. It is the protection for the circuits to the instrument lamps and the exterior running lamps.
