Good Evening,

I am having issues with my ranger as earlier today my key would turn and all the power in the cab would come on. Battery was dead though so I turned the key off and waited a little for the battery to charge. After awhile I came back and tried to turn the key and nothing happened. The power in the cab didn’t come on besides the cab light when the door is opened. I checked the headlights and they even come on. So I thought it was the ignition lock cylinder and replaced it. Still the same issue is there with turning the key to on and start and not even the power in the cab coming on. I’m by far lost in this issue and would take any advice I can take to figure this issue out.

thank you,

So the other thing I just noticed is that the springy was that the key had when you turn the key to start isn’t there anymore. What kind of issue would that entail?

So it would be the switch that I’d have to replace?

Sounds like it. If you’re handy with a meter you can test it.

And that’s testing that red with light blue colored wire?

That sounds like a good start .

well good news!!! The switch was blown apart into three separate pieces. Went to the junkyard and replaced it with a used one and back to starting and running normally like it was. Thank you to all who helped solve this mystery for me, I greatly appreciate it!!
