Ive got a 2004 Ranger 3.0 v6. When shifting gear out of park to drive or reverse with brake pressed, the 10 amp fuse blows.
10 amp fuse which controls hazard lights, turn signals, ABS indicator light and brake light come on.
It started when I would quickly shift gears, so I slowed the process down and that stopped it, but now
every time I shift out of park to D or R the fuse pops instantly, every time. Thanks for any input!

 

Huh? The fuse blows but the lights still work?

 

If your truck has trailer wiring, check that first

Poorly routed and bare wires cause all kinds of light problems, make sure they are not rubbing and missing insulation.

 

The turn signals and hazard lights do not work when the 10 amp fuse is blown

 

Yes, it does. will investigate. thank you.

 

does it still do it with the Trans range sensor unplugged?

 

hmm...let me check.

 

When unplugged, I cannot switch lever out of park.
