Airbag light is on too and dome light not working. Checked fuses and replaced GEM module. Still not working. Any thoughts? 2001 Ranger, 4x4. Seems to have started when I broke dome light bulb.

 

Welcome to the forum

When you replaced GEM did you check that it had power?

Fuse 10 and 11 and 20 and 26 and 28 in cab fuse box

Fuse 16 is the only wiper specific fuse


But above gas pedal area there is Auxiliary Box 1, has a few relays inside, Battery Saver Relay and Interior light relay.
Shorting out dome light could have caused a problem there

 

Will try this suggestion out tomorrow.

 

fuse 26. I’m such a dope. Thanks!!

 

Good work

Yes, lots of fuse to check on newer vehicles, overlapping power paths with many relays

Thanks for posting the fix

 

While pulling fuses to find what had stopped the cigarette lighter that was powering my portable cd player I noticed the microfuses have open connections to the pins. So using a voltmeter, find a ground for black and just test fuses on each pin side and if you have the same reading on both sides the fuse is good.
It sure beats pulling and replacing each.

 

 

Good work

Odd it was empty though, seems like previous owner would have noticed and wanted speedometer working when selling it

 

 

Replaced my battery on my 2002 ford ranger, now speedometer & odometer don't work. Also the power window works, but not the auto down feature. I also noticed the warning dinging does not happen if I leave my lights on & open the door. Wierd or what ?

 

Check fuses 20 and 26 in cab fuse box

Those functions are done by GEM
Do wipers work, GEM also does those

 

where is this relay?

 

Welcome to the forum

What relay are you looking for?

And what YEAR Ranger?

 

2000 ranger 2.5L 2wd. My Speedometer, Wipers & Dome Light stopped working when dome bulb blew. Now in the past Speedometer, Wipers, quit working but it was only a fuse. Now I have checked my fuses in cab multiple times, ground wire (Black/White) on the GEM is reading .2oHm as it should be while off. I'm completely stumped an not sure how to fix this before I dump unnecessary money to find out that's not the issue.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

Just the dome light uses the Battery saver relay so that's not your issue

Speedometer gets its "speed signal" from GEM, as does computer and Cruise
All Wiper controls go thru GEM
So GEM is most likely bad

In a 2000 Ranger fuses 10, 20, and 25 power GEM
Fuse 26 powers speedometer

If you want to check Battery Saver relay its in a Relay Box above gas pedal, it has a cover that faces Parking brake pedal, so faces left
Battery saver relay is in that box, along with several other relays, there is no "map" for which relay is which

One possible layout for Relay Box 1 is seen in this thread: https://www.ranger-forums.com/genera...ranger-162626/

 

I am investigating the above problem. I am looking at Fuse #26. Removing Fuse #26 drops the at rest current draw to 0.04A from 0.37A. On my vehicle Fuse #26 feeds the Battery Saver Relay, Interior Lamp Relay, Instrument Illumination Dimming Module, and the Dome/Map Lamp, according to the owners manual. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with similar symptoms and if so what was the remedy?

 

You should really start your own thread.

Now we have 3 different people with similar issues, no one is going to know who is replying to who.

 

+1 to Above

AMP draw is a different thing altogether, AND its an easy answer just start your own thread, its FREE

 

Thanks. Point taken. Will do. Much appreciated.
