Hello, greetings to all, I am new on this page and I would like to contact friends to talk some mechanical problems.
I bought a few days ago a 2001 Ranger, but I had not noticed that when I act the directional and I am in motion, the velocimetter needle moves in the same way as the indicator lights of the directional. I don't know where the failure is or some. To the one who can take her hand, I appreciate it.
Welcome to the companion forum, a question, you call the directional in command of the flashing lights, right?
The problem you comment, you think you have it on the same instrument board and it is that you have to have a short in the printed circuit behind the aboard box.
So when you give the flashing the current passes from one track to another and causes this effect since the speedometer is also electronic, but it could be another such as that several lights were lit at the time of the intermittences.
Disassemble the instrument frame and verify that it does not find strange things or failures in the connections of the plugs from behind.
