I have the same problem, the switch in the door is either faulty or the door latch is sticking, try spraying the door latch with WD40 and open and close your door to work it in if this is the problem it should free up the latch which hits the switch for the dome light and the door ajar light. This did not work for me I replaced the door switch with push pin switches instead.

If the windows worked well before but became intermittent, I'd be checking the switches. You can also power the motors with jumpers to insure the motors work. If the brushes are worn, you can sometimes make the window work one last time by giving the door a good thump to jar the armature and possibly get better brush contact.

needs a new switch relay

Have you tried changing the fuel pump relay, or fuse? I have always went by one rule first and that is (never overlook the obvious) most of the time it's something simple hope this helps

Check to see if your Air Bag warning light comes on to prove out when you turn the key to the "on" position. If it does not the beeping you are hearing is an audible air bag warning indictator indicating a fault in the system.

Any slipping-- your trans is done Pull it & rebuild it- AFTER-you diagnose the electrical part of the system

I have had this happen with my ranger. Changed everything I could to try to fix the over heating. It turned out that I had a small leak in my head gasket and it was allowing exsaust gas to go into the cooling system witch was over pressurizing it. Also the air from the exsaust will heat up much faster than liquid making your thermostat to read hot and will not be able to blow hot air in the cab because there is no liquid going to the heater core. This happened to me when my blet came off and I tryed to make it home. If you had it over heat for a long peirod of time it may have ripped the head gasket.

You have to component test to find a problem Only failed parts get replaced Codes have nothing to do with parts You can have codes & not need parts Codes only indicate an out of range condition You have to find out why

All OBD Codes are on the internet with print,charts,video,solutions You Type your codes & read up Study OBD 2 Systems also OBD PO171 OBD PO174 I had to Google Cen Tech as i never heard of it They appear to be inexpensive low end for sure You won't get a lot of data out it If your never planning on going to professional software, consider the top scan/code reader type tools like Innova Professional or at least mid level Actron & a couple other brands You really need to see sensors,emission monitors, so your ready for inspection You will only get Generic Codes from a code reader not body functions likes abs,air conditioning,srs,& others More data is better-- you will learn these systems as time goes by They have been with us for 35 years now OBD1 15 years OBD2 20 years

Sounds like shift cable needs adjustment

the other link didn't work for me so I've found and posted this one. there are manuals from '96-2011 the diagram is in there around P. 140

Go over the entire shift linkage & remove if you have to & see of you have worn plastic bushings or need to weld in some worn holes, to tighten it up

The internet has both printed & video on how to test your ignition system

The Computer sends signal to the coils which sends spark to the plugs. u need to check for a code with a ob2 reader since these parts can be very expensive. and very time consuming GL
