My kid had one of those truck , but with the 2.9 V6 . Called me for help one day . He had been off roading it and it quit on him . Behind that same kick panel was a switch that killed the electrics in case of a collision. Pushed the reset button really really hard and it reset . And I mean really hard . Good to go after that . I was a hero for a day lol
Don't feel bad. I saw a similar problem on a medium-sized CNC mill. One loose power connection screw (there were six) caused all sorts of faults in the machine. It took a very experienced electrician all day to trace the problem. A fix is a win. 👍
Had an E-stop button switch do that to a CNC years ago. All the panicked hand-smashing of the E-stop all those years loosened the connections just enough that the machine would not alarm out but would jump/shift its position. Causing all kinds of inaccuracies. Everyone was saying the control was no good! The boards are bad! The power from the electric Co. is bad! ETC. NOPE! A loose wire at the E-stop was all it was. That same machine still makes good parts from me tightening a screw 20 some odd years ago. Nutty huh?
We had a NC wire wrap machine in the factory that would trip out with a limit switch fault. Problem was, it was never near a limit switch when it tripped out. We ended up building a latch to capture the state of all the limit switches when it tripped to figure out which one was intermittent. The latch told us it hit all the limits at the same time. Loose terminal on the power feed to the limit switches.
Once again our seriously patient uber professional intrepid mechanic Wess takes on a brain twisting problem that's slightly agravating yet he still manages to fix the problem without multiple tossed tools and cussing that would make a 30 year minimum Chief Petty Officer blush. Another outstanding episode to entertain me on my way to the VA hospital for a pulmanary apointment. Thanks Wes.
He edits out the thrown tools and the cursing, let's be real. Conversely, we can tell Mustie1 has no such character aspects because he's always laughing and having a good time. At least we think so...LOL 😀
Wes you never fail to amaze me with your methodical electrical diagnosis! I have a buddy that I grew up with who is a professional Mechanic like you. I always call on him to fix the electrical gremlins that I run into. He in turn has me do all his welding projects. If you know, you know! LOL!
Wes I am glad you are part of a special group who looks to maintain these older vehicles and not give up on them. Granted the computer controlled vehicle is here to stay, there are still not many people who can and will take the time like you and the special class of mechanic you belong to.
Enough editing skills to make it look like you know what you’re doing? Wes, this is textbook diagnostic work. You are a awesome technician!!! This is the kind of fix that makes a man legendary. I’ve seen too many “technicians” just aim and fire the old parts cannon.
Dude hats off to you most mechanics would have given up half way through! I wish I had someone like you where I live. I have a 91 and a 94 and I love then both.
Don't doubt yourself Wes 🙂👍 You done a great job with the diagnosis and also the video. Glad to see you're doing well. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧
Wes, Thank you for putting out this video.I have been chasing my butt trying to figure out my issue with my 95 Ranger 3.0. I have the almost same identical issue. Only difference was I could crank and run it while it was completely cold. I threw the parts cannon at this turd. I replaced the fuel pump, filter,modulator, coil, crank shaft position sensor and the PCM. It wasn't till after I saw this video did I even try the coolant temperature sensor. Once I replaced, it crank and runs every time! Who woulda thunk it!!! Thanks for all the great content. Greatful, Jim Smith
Always good to see the problem resolved! But it will keep you awake at night waiting for the truck to come back because the intermittent ground fault will sneak back and bit you in the ....:)
Wes, Great job on that one! I had a 90 Ranger of the same Flavor. Your Connector delete is the ticket. Had the same issue. You could crank on that thing all day long but wouldn't start. I went through 2 computers before we started looking elsewhere. My buddy just happened to pull that connector apart and found all the green crusties and burn marks. We deleted and that truck never had that problem again after that. I sold it and it went until around 2006 or 2007 when that old man finally junked it because the frame rotted out.
Sometimes you get those what the heck and still get it fixed... Dont ask, just appreciate it got fixed. 50+ years, yeah its all good Wes. You did good.
I have had this exact problem on my 89 f150 on the ignition control module, boy oh boy it was a fun one to figure out and find... Wiring diagrams are gifts from God
I give it 3 months and that Ranger will be back ... you've made friends with it now and it will miss you. The perils of not using hammers unnecessarily ... Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Yup. Ford's dual ignition system idea. It was my understanding that the idea of two plugs per cylinder was thought to provide a more complete fuel burn and, therefore, fewer emissions out the tailpipe. As a general rule of thumb Wes, if you find something on an internal combustion engine that is unnecessary, overly complicated, or just plain stupid, you can bet the shop our good ol' Uncle Sam was in some way involved when the dubious idea was hatched. Great job tracking down that particular nasty gremlin Wes.
Admitting you don't know what happened reaffirms to us you are human. If we watched your videos and you never showed these happenings if would affirm dishonesty. I think you are a pretty cool dude and an awesome mechanic.
Oh yes, Ford's great idea for dual ignition systems that have 8 plugs on a 4 cylinder. And one would think the addition of the second ignition system would yield extra power...not in this universe. You seriously have to understand how to pull out in traffic if you want to survive such a blend into traffic move without a hospital visit or worst! Love your diagnostic efforts every time. I say you have the absolute best vehicle problem-solving channel on UT... Thumps Up!
More spark doesn't equate to more power, I mean what are you going to do ignite the A/F even harder or twice? I think it's an emissions thing but I know nothing about that
Ford wants to build more EV's which I think is a terrible idea becuase every Ford that has been in my family since the 1960's has had some kind of electrical problems straigjht from the factory!
@@Hjerte_Verke Don't know how it works but Nissan built a 2ltr 4cyl twin spark fuel injected in the eighties & they were fantastic would do 200kph easy & reguarly.(I had one).
WES, kudos to U ! Myself, worked in electronics field 37 years. Disliked it working on intermittent problems. But, my company frowned on "to much time on diagnostics!", it was just plug in a new mod to get it up and running! Thing was, it seemed they always found time for you to FIX it in the worst weather conditions in the winter!
I appreciate Wes' transparency and thoughtfulness, both with the repairs and the videos. It does make me wonder however, how many PCMs have been replaced over the years just due to faulty connectors, where the problem was actually fixed just by virtue of removing and reinstalling things. Of course integrated circuits and printed boards are not infallible, but I think too many folks assume they are at fault just because they don't take the time to understand them.
Don't be hard on yourself. You told the story like it happened. You were on the right track from the get-go. This happens to doctors. Lawyers and such that they end up not knowing how or why the outcome was good , thats all that counts in the end. Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good.
Your hamster powered internet must be running hot Wes, It's so good to see you posting more often! Also can you buy an oil burning RAV4 cheap from down south and swap your rebuilt engine in?
Yep, when I talk about replacing 8 spark plugs on my four cylinder truck, people look at me like I'm nuts. I loved that little truck. I still wish I'd kept it. Good save on a 32 year old truck. I almost bought one just like that. It probably sounds stupid, but that red dashboard was so close to the same as that on my '82 Escort, and that car had been such a piece of junk, that I chose the blue one because I couldn't stand the reminder. That Escort forced me to learn mechanic skills. I couldn't afford to pay for all the work it continually needed.
The old Ranger was one of Fords best vesicles ever made in fact still many around (the small Chevy and Dodge trucks of that era not so much all rotted away or quit running.....new Rangers well remains to be seen.Wes is a wizard at repair of all kinds think how much he will know by time he gets gray hair and a few wrinkles.
Obviously something was nagging at you to check again before firing the parts cannon, and that's what matters for a customer - making sure of the diagnostic where possible.
Great video Wess. A man that can miss diagnose something then is man enough to ad mit it. That's just good ole honesty. That why I love watching you chanel . Keep coming. .
Bad connector... I don't know how many times I've made a dead car start again by unplugging a connector and plugging it back in. Good thing you found it before ordering the ECU!
Looks like a day (or longer) in the life of a real mech/tech, Wes! I am sure everyone has more respect for you that you didn't edit this video into some fake super repair. As always, fun to spend time with you and your daily routine.
Beautiful truck I love the roll up windows. Wes your good bud and you get better all the time. I notice your tools are always clean and your never challenged. Plus your funny.
Great job! It's very frustrating when it just starts working when you barely touch it. I love the line "don't thing I have enough editing skills to make me look like I know what I'm doing" 🤣
Wes, your vijayos have given me the confidence to, to, to, well, drive my unrusted snot bucket to upper Illinois from Washington state and see what you can do with it. 1980 f-100 Ranger with 5.0 Mustang mill. Cheers, K
Hunting is hunting. Problem solving is just that. It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase. Being "right" every time you chase a problem makes boring videos. See how to find them makes it interesting. Love the video!
Great job. I think it speaks volumes to your personal integrity, that you posted this video.... It would have been real real easy to re-shoot and say "Yep, there it is!!!" and book that win....
i remember those three chromed screws holding the fake 4 wd switch image cap on those aluminum wheel rangers. they came with the plastic inserts my ranger never left me stranded
Boy it really sucks that simple connectors like that can stop a car from running.Time alone is the enemy here.Great job wes!...Nothing about this old ranger can stop you!
I don’t think I’m in the minority when I say different video length/content doesn’t bother me. As long as I see that new video notification I’m watching!
The self depreciating "video editing" comment was the rimshot of this performance. I have yet to see anyone online "ferret out" electrical issues with your talent, patience, tenacity, and methodology. When it won't run because of the moisture content of a spider's egg sack resting on a reheostat wiper, Wes is gonna find that. Keep up the great vids, we came for the repair and stayed for the salty humor
I don’t think there’s a more realistic, practical, and down to earth repair channel on RUclips. Thanks for sharing, Wes, we love you!
Seriously
My kid had one of those truck , but with the 2.9 V6 . Called me for help one day . He had been off roading it and it quit on him . Behind that same kick panel was a switch that killed the electrics in case of a collision. Pushed the reset button really really hard and it reset . And I mean really hard . Good to go after that . I was a hero for a day lol
3 days in a row. with all the crap going on in the world, there is a glimmer of hope. Thanks Wes. another good one. I'm getting used to this.
Yeah, plenty of crap.
Towed it in, drove it out, but let's not forget that you saved the customer a chunk of money!
"We towed it in, we drove it out!" That's what counts and we count on Wes for the best, most logical repairs. Amen.
Don't feel bad. I saw a similar problem on a medium-sized CNC mill. One loose power connection screw (there were six) caused all sorts of faults in the machine.

3 videos this past week is so cool. A real treat. Those older vehicles can sure have a lot of gremlins as they age don’t they.
Honesty is always the bedrock of integrity that's why we keep coming back. Keep doing what you're doing please.
Yupp
Wes, you are getting too good at solving these things, I miss the 1 hour videos 😉
nah his editing just got better. :)
@@crisprtalk6963 That maybe means more videoes, more often… 😀
Also miss the old ones... Longer and with less eletric problems... More mechanical things...
I can't make everyone happy.
@@WatchWesWork keep up the the good work.
Once again our seriously patient uber professional intrepid mechanic Wess takes on a brain twisting problem that's slightly agravating yet he still manages to fix the problem without multiple tossed tools and cussing that would make a 30 year minimum Chief Petty Officer blush.
Another outstanding episode to entertain me on my way to the VA hospital for a pulmanary apointment.
Thanks Wes.
Editing does wonders don't it. You did see him attack the back wall with a car not too long ago right?
That was the next option.
It helps to be self employed sometimes. lol
@@WatchWesWork ironically and even funnier Mortske just made the same reference about it in his video that dropped this am as well LOL
He edits out the thrown tools and the cursing, let's be real. Conversely, we can tell Mustie1 has no such character aspects because he's always laughing and having a good time. At least we think so...LOL 😀
Don't be too hard on yourself Wes! You found something most of us would never even know how to look for. I'm still amazed at your diagnosing skills.
Wes you never fail to amaze me with your methodical electrical diagnosis! I have a buddy that I grew up with who is a professional Mechanic like you. I always call on him to fix the electrical gremlins that I run into. He in turn has me do all his welding projects. If you know, you know! LOL!
Been watching for years now. Look forward to each one. Wes is a great mechanic and honest, too.
That doesn’t make you look bad, v skilled diagnosis and the truck worked in the end. 10/10 video.
Wes I am glad you are part of a special group who looks to maintain these older vehicles and not give up on them. Granted the computer controlled vehicle is here to stay, there are still not many people who can and will take the time like you and the special class of mechanic you belong to.
your diagnostic skills are amazing as well as the repair work/ thanks for the video
Your electrical troubleshooting skills are phenomenal!
You stepped away instead of firing the parts cannon. That is something to be proud of. Not many do that.
Man I don’t miss these. Fords fix for incomplete combustion, second plug.
Someone once told me it’s a Hemi…uh, No.
Nice work!
I really appreciate you talking out loud as you do your analysis of these problems.
Good morning, Wes! Three in a weekend? Good work! Hope you're enjoying the lovely warm weather after the rounds of storms we saw.
No repair channel I watch is as easy to understand and fun to watch as this guy
I wish I was closer to you to take my vehicles to you, you are one in a million! Bravo Wes!
When I used to work for a Ford Dealer I had a rash of (NEW) vehicles with bad crimps from the factory causing many different problems.
Videos on back to back to back days! Thanks for making my breaks in between working on my taxes much better Wes
You bet!
Enough editing skills to make it look like you know what you’re doing? Wes, this is textbook diagnostic work. You are a awesome technician!!! This is the kind of fix that makes a man legendary. I’ve seen too many “technicians” just aim and fire the old parts cannon.
Dude hats off to you most mechanics would have given up half way through! I wish I had someone like you where I live. I have a 91 and a 94 and I love then both.
Well done Wes! Always a pleasure watching you wrenching on the old stuff.
Take the win mate, you’ve earned it twenty-fold.
Wow, 3 videos in 3 days, what an awesome way to start the week
The point is, you found the problem and made a successful repair. A Win is a Win.
Yea West like you the first guy that has gone down a rabbit hole before, I stop counting years ago. 😁
Wes, your strive and attitude on these old machines to me is what makes these videos unique. Do not give up on them.
Hey Wes👋, good video on the ranger. Just had fun with that issue on 96 f250. Thanks for sharing 👍 Have a great week ahead
3 videos in 3 days!! Is that dome kind of Easter gift or something? Love it!
Burning through the backlog.
Don't doubt yourself Wes 🙂👍 You done a great job with the diagnosis and also the video. Glad to see you're doing well. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧

I think you did a great work on the Ranger 😊👍
3 videos in a week????? Holy cow!! Thank you!!
I really love these kind of videos on repair projects etc
you're just spoiling us with 3 videos in a weekend. another detective Wes on the wiring trail to enlightenment . Thanks looking forward to next one.
Sometimes you get those what the heck and still get it fixed... Dont ask, just appreciate it got fixed. 50+ years, yeah its all good Wes. You did good.
Simply difficult, the most aggravating problems.
Great job Wes, another happy customer blissfully unaware of the headache.

it wasnt for more power it was to burn the fuel left over in the exhaust for emissions standards.
For it being early 90s stuff, you still did great!

Hey drove my '91 Geo Metro today and our lake dried up too! Greetings from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada!
At least you found the problem, I would have looked until the 2nd coming and still not found it. Nice job sir, thanks for the tag along video.

I had that same truck in a 97'. After I sold it, the spring shackles performed a delete tactic.
They will do that!

truck prices these days is why. even used beaters are outrageous.
i remember those three chromed screws holding the fake 4 wd switch image cap on those aluminum wheel rangers. they came with the plastic inserts my ranger never left me stranded
Bad terminals are a nightmare Les, good video, very interesting diagnosis
Neat Job Wes. Have a great week.
Boy it really sucks that simple connectors like that can stop a car from running.Time alone is the enemy here.Great job wes!...Nothing about this old ranger can stop you!
Really enjoy learning from you diagnostic skills
This has been the best 3 days in a while, back to back wes tearing up the crusties!
Thanks Wes, i really like your test lights, I have made a few of my own and shoegoo'd them to magnets, whatever works.
Shoegoo is my secret weapon.
I don’t think I’m in the minority when I say different video length/content doesn’t bother me. As long as I see that new video notification I’m watching!
3 days in a row Wes movies.... and it's not even my birthday!!😁 thanks Wes!! keep them coming.
When something like that happens to me, I always feel like I'm going to see it back again. Bad part is I usually do!
Well at least ya got a good end result brol, maybe a few more great hairs too. Safe travels
I had one of those little trucks years ago. It was an awesome truck. I do miss it. Great catch there Wes. Stay safe my friend.
