I have a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge, the windshield wipers, door/seatbelt chime, and odometer/speedometer all stopped working at the same time. I checked all the fuses that would be related to those items (under the hood fuse panel and on the side of the dashboard fuse panel). All of them appeared to be in working order. The guy working at the Ford Dealership‘s parts counter told me it could also be the GEM module. What would cause all of the items listed above to stop working?
the rating on the tire is the max pressure. use what it says on the door. 3500 lbs is not that heavy a truck believe it or not. using the 26 psi will give you the largest traction pad on the tires giving you the greatest stopping ability along with stability.
Check all your grounds uder the dash close to your steering collum and under the hood close to the wiper motor if you checked the fueses its a ground just start at one side of the truck and wiggle all the grounds with the key and wipers turned on if thay come on when you move a conection then you'll know witch one it is . also I don't know how you checked your fueses but try checking them with a test light incase a fuse is plowen in a spot you can't see GOOD LUCK BRAD A
i have the same model and year with the same issue. Thanks for the information provided. I was able to fix my issue. Scott
Check your fuses and relaysSounds like your problem lies there.
The reason the tires say 44psi is that is the max amount of air pressure the tire can safely handle. 26 lbs is way too low. Regardless of what that door jam says. You get horrible gas mileage and eat tires. I would run the psi on the tires at 40 psi and call it a day. Running higher tire pressure will make it ride a bit stiffer, but will be better in the long run for your tires and your wallet on gas.
