Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / June 2004Dumb Ranger question
Hey, I have a 99 Ranger which has dead interior light door switches and believe it or not I can't find em. All I can see is a black rubber thing about the size of my finger tip but it doesn't look like a switch at all. Thanks Nick.. Nick, The switches are located inside the door on the latch. Alot of times people have trouble with the lights staying on esp after say rain or snow anything with alot of moisture. Try spraying some wd40 or contact cleaner and see if that helps first. Alot of time they are just gunked up. If not you now know where to look and you can set aside an afternoon to replace them. Not impossible to do just a pia.

I think this is BS but before I go in there and tell em so I figured I'd ask. Code on my reader is 401, ERG flow too low. Thanks Nick.. >> Hey, >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> Nick.. Nick, Thats a first telling someone the door switch will trigger a engine light. I guess that is not really a first. Your engine light is triggered when a code is stored in the computer when an emission or engine control sensor fails or detects a problem. In no way shape or form would the door condition cause that.

Tim, That's exactly what I thought (and told her at the time) but she just gave me the report from the garage (Park Auto in Rockville) and they charged her $67 to say "check codes in computer found code 1207 for bad door ajar/theft deterant code, which sets the check engine light" My $40 code reader gives abck 0401 for EGR flow too low, same garage already changed the EGR valve.............. And as it is suposed to resets the light on the 4th readback. but it comes back after a short drive. I was told by other folks on the group to check the EGR valve and solenoid (which is my fav and only about $25). For this problem alone we have spent close to $300 with these people. Is there some body to report crappy garages too?
