2007 Ford Ranger FX4 Off-Road - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My park lights keep blowing fuses
You have a short to ground in the park light circuit..best have a mechanic look at it because its possible the trailer wiring was faulty and shorted out the Smart Junction Box (SJB)...the park lamp relay is controlled by it and the relay is built into the SJB
Shaft removal
The differential cover has to be removed to drain the oil from the differential. The cluster gear pin has to be taken out to get to the C-clips that hold the axles in. Try to position the carrier assembly so the retaining bolt to the cluster gear pin is on the top near the back of the differential. Remove the retaining bolt and the pin should slide right out. Take care not to rotate the the ring gear because the cluster gears will fall out and they are a little hard to get back in. Reverse this procedure to put it all back together. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.
How to replace belt
You can cut it off or pull on the
belt tensioner with the correct
size long ratchet
Make a drawing of the belt & pulley's
first or get a pic on the internet
May be a small sticker under the hood
Abs sound
Sometimes limited driving can affect the front brake pads and rotors due to corrosion, and dirt...inspect the pads for being worn unevenly...and the rotors for warping...the rotors would also cause the steering wheel to shake when applying the brakes...A small fix for a nice low mileage Ranger:) Hope this helps.

You would need to check the glow plug timer circuit and the fuel supply. Diesel glow plugs can wear out. Make sure the "Ready light" is working and that you hear the timer cycling. Usually the lights will dim as the power goes to the glow plugs.
The glow plug wire can be checked with a Voltmeter inserted on a wire from the Relay timer. The glow plugs are tested when they are removed from the engine. If you get this far, you can use battery cables to test them. They can melt. Ask for more details about proper procedure.

Can be several problems, one the injectors can be clogged and not allowing the gas thru at a fat enough rate, two it could be a gas filter going bad.

Where can I purchase the
Hello, You are going to need the Brand of canopy to get a replacement part. Ford buys its parts on the aftermarket when it comes to anything like this. Usually the Dealer will arrange the purchase and installation of anything going over the bed.
I looked up the CFS 060902 and it can be the component number for the bigger thing. There were some sites like Range Rider.com>gates and canopywest.com. But you will see different styles within the Brand.
If you are the original owner, or can find out through the Vin# who the selling Dealer was to the original owner, you have a good chance of finding the local supplier of the cover. Some companies like American Sunroof are not in existence anymore or are not what they use to be. Then you need the style and Year of the part to be the same.
I had access to the main Warehouse for Ford and I can tell you, Ford does not stock this type of part. I tried to find this for you and hope my solution is very helpful in determining your next move.
If this is some sort of Insurance damage repair then the Insurance company would probably have to buy you a new cover if there are no spare parts like you need.
