Going to be enabling flat to on an old '02 Ranger I have. I can see all the installation and programming instructions, and I swore I saved the activation instructions, but I'll be damned if I can find them on my computer.

I found a set of instructions for an F-150, but I'm not 100% sure that those instructions will transfer to the Ranger. Those of you flat towing, please confirm or deny these are the correct instructions for the Ranger. Here's what I have for the F-150.


1 - Put the ignition in the on position, but do not start the engine. If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to on. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal.


2 - Press and hold the brake pedal.


3 - Rotate the four-wheel drive switch to 2H. ( Not sure what to do if it's already in 2H. )


4 - Shift the transmission to neutral (N).


5 - Rotate the four-wheel drive switch from 2H to 4L and back to 2H five times within seven seconds.
Note: If completed successfully, the information display confirms that your vehicle is in neutral tow. ( This is where I would expect to see the little LED light up for the Ranger ) This indicates that your vehicle is safe to tow with all wheels on the ground.
Note: If you do not see the message in the display, you must perform the procedure again from the beginning.
Note: You may hear an audible noise as the transfer case shifts into its neutral position. This is normal.


6 - Leave the transmission in neutral (N) and turn the ignition as far as it can go toward the off position. It does not turn fully off when the transmission is in neutral (N). If your vehicle has an ignition key, you must leave the key in the ignition while towing. To lock and unlock your vehicle, use the keyless entry keypad or an extra set of keys. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal. You do not need to leave your keys in the vehicle. You can lock and unlock your vehicle as you normally do.


7 - Release the brake pedal.
