Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 14:06:31 -0500 This problem has been widely reported on '99 Explorers, so it doesn't come as shock that the Ranger would have the same problem. The wiper/washer switch in the Explorer was defective, and being replaced under warranty, so you should get the same thing done with your truck.

Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 02:01:30 -0500 Have you thought about maybe, um, replacing the switch? ;-) hehe ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 07:02:35 -0700 From: Adam McLaughlin Subject: Transmission Crossmember Bushings Does anyone know where I can get a set of transmission crossmember bushings? I have a 1988 Bronco 2, with the stock 2.9 and M5OD (Five speed!). I am tired of hearing the transmission go Boink! when I change from forward to reverse. Thanks, Adam ------------------------------ From: "Gary Snook" Subject: Re: (Was Aerostar Air ˙ow Ranger Air) Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 09:34:27 -0500 Thanks to all who replied. I USED to be a referigeration appliance repairman by trade and fully understand about the ability of the airconditiong system to provide drier air. However, since I like having the fresh air coming in on the windsheild rather than blowing out the vents or on the floor - seems to be more comforatable unless the air condidioning is needed - I would still like to disconnect the switch. To those who pointed out the compressor anti-freeze switch, you should also know that the switch is also affected by underhood temps and heater core temp and the compressor will run in sub freezing temps when it is not needed to help dry the incoming fresh air. Additionally in milder weather when the control is placed in defrost, the compressor runs and if the air is already dry the compressor isn't needed - it just decreases the fuel economy............Soooo, is the heater/defrost control hard to get out? I am assuming the defrost switch for the compressor is located on the control....... AND just maby, there is a connector on the back of said switch..... Thanks again...

Certainly the defroster works much better with the compressor switched on, but it's nice to have control of it. Due to the pressure switch the compressor will not engage in temperatures below freezing. I wish it did. I have to run the defroster all through the winter and the compressor runs all the time. I hear it, I feel it, I get a poor gas mileage all through the winter. Next winter I'll consider disconnecting it. I checked out the new refrigerant I have: It's called "Isceon" R413a. As you recomended, I turned the adjustment screw on the dryer and now I'll wait whether the freezup of the evaporator goes away. It takes at leats a 90min. drive so I haven't tested it yet.
