My 2000 Ranger was involved in an accident. Both headlights, turn signals, and running lights were taken out. There is significant damage to the light connectors. I want to get advice on how to repair them. I'm comfortable with soldering and slicing wires so I think it would be easier to repair it wire by wire rather than replacing harnesses, but I don't know. If it's replacing harnesses, how far back can I go? Where do I get the parts? Also there appears to be a sensor wire with a damaged connector. Maybe something to do with the ABS? I don't know.

I've tried to included a few photos, but I can't upload for some reason. Upload stops at 90%.

Thanks for any input.

 

Go back far enough to be able to work with the conductors, in order to cut/strip/splice them. My SOP is to a "Western Union" or "Lineman's Splice", solder it, then top it off with quality heat shrink.

 

Thanks for the reply. How do I find the right connectors? There seems to be 5 lights on each side, as well as the sensor. I can find them on Rock Auto and Amazon, but there are differences that make me uncertain. Just go to NAPA with the ends? Probably safest.

 

Try a salvage yard. Taking parts in-hand is best.
