I just got this 94 ranger and there are some things I still need to fix, like the back brake lights don't some on when the pedal is pressed, there is a leak on some part of the gas tube that goes to the tank, and a few other things. The main thing that is gettin to me is how to find a manual or something that showes what each fuse is for and what could be causing the problem of the brakes.

Any help would be useful. The running lights work on it, turn signals work, reverse lights work, but no brake lights. When I checked the fuses, they all seemed to be fine. Somebody told me that the dash lights are connected to the same fuse as the brake lights and since the dash lights are working then it couldn't be the fuse.

Thanks

 

check the switch at the brake pedal

 

Go to this URL, then after it loads scroll down near the bottom and find 1994 Ranger body wiring and click on the diagram. I think this is what you are looking for.

If your high mount third brakelight works, it will not be your switch or the fuse. In the diagram subford gave you, look in the top middle of the diagram, and you will see the brake switch.

 

Looks like he has a bad wiring or bulbs.
Sorry, some how I download the wrong print.

 

I don't think his brake lights go through his multi-function(turnsignal switch). I think he has the seperate amber turnsignals according to the diagram.

 

Yes, you are right, some how I got the wrong print, clicked on it again I got a different one.

don't see the switch...?

 

You clicked on Fig. #29 and you need to click on fig # 30.

I have clicked on Fig. 30 Three times and gotten three different prints???

What number print are you looking at?

I am back to thinking "Multi Function Switch".

figure 27 should be the right one....but the switch thing got me out there checkin it out and I used a flathead to compress the spring on the switch, and bamm! I saw the breaks come on. Don't know if all three came on but I did see some light. So now why would the spring be sticking. I need maybe some wd-40 or maybe just replace that switch.

 

Figure 27 is engine wiring, You need BODY wiring figure 30.

Replace the switch, never use WD-40 around a truck, it is a dirt magnet and will make anything ware out fast.

If you have rusty bolts then use PB Blaster on them.

 

just saw that one too. I think the switch is either bad or just stuck...the spring seems stuck like I said.

 

I was looking at fig #28 1994 ranger body wiring. Here it is.
