Bought an 01 Ranger 4x4. The 4wd doesn't work, no clicking in kick panel, lights etc. got a used unit and plugged it in, blew my brake switch fuse (#9 on side dash) I failed to disconnect the negative ground ( oops) the original part # in the truck is
1L547H417AC
Do I need to get the exact same part number on a donor vehicle? I can get a CM for 25.00 at a local pick n pull, they have a lot or explorers there. Also will this solve my fuse issue? Anything else that could be an issue? The truck sat for a few months and the battery died before I owned it.
Did the 4X4 work ok before it sat for a few months???? Have you scanned it for trouble codes, if so, post All code Numbers, as they could offer up good trouble shooting clues.
I bought the truck from a gentleman that drove it up until a few months ago. He had let it sit and the battery died. He jump started it when I was there for a test drive. Ran good, sounded good, said the 4wd worked. I tried it to to avail. No service lights on at all, an I don't have access to a scanner. A lot of post I read had similar issues and most said the control module under the rt kick panel.
If you like turning your own wrenches, maybe consider one of these, its a danged good & really afforadable bang for our trouble shooting bucks!!!! https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-scantool.html I came by mine about this time last year, to successfully trouble shoot & put my ABS woes right. It also provided me with other trouble code clues that I didn't know I had, that'll help with running down my power window woes, when I finally get around to it!!!! lol
