It goes: 1-3-1-1-3-1-3-1 then stops.

I did it about five times.
Yeah last time I did it I just had to keep doing it until I got something that looked right. The "long" pauses are about half a blonde one longer than the regular pauses.

Do you live in a rural area? Your story is seriously kind of horrifying.

Are you doing the test lamp/voltmeter method? And writing down blinkenlight codes?
I did the codes with a voltmeter, and yes, I purposely live in BFE.
I do try not to have these problems.
Most often if I'm going to let a vehicle sit for any length of time, I open the hood. Pack rats don't feel so protected with the hood open.
I let this truck sit too long. This time it cost good.

I have one guy left up my sleeve.
He lives locally.
I really didn't want to invite him to this party, but he's pretty good with stuff.

Last chance for this truck for awhile.

Going off this code list https://therangerstation.com/tech_li...gitcodes.shtml I'm seeing three possibles, 113, 311, and 313. But 311 and 313 are key on engine running codes and 113 is a memory code for the intake air temp sensor.
Wouldn't hurt to take a good long break and try it again. The blink test is frustrating but doesn't require an equipment. You can uses a paperclip if you have to, but a small piece of bare copper wire works well, and read them off the check engine light. They also have a handheld tester that does the same thing.

We don't *have* a CEL in 80-86. The first dash lamp connected to a computer was 1987 or 88.

We have 2-digit codes; 3-digits didn't start until early 90s I believe.

Don't get confused.

Don't misinterpret the blinkenlight codes. You should get 2-digit codes presented out to you twice, separated by a single sweep + a few seconds.

Well, then there's a lot of 13's or 31's.
Maybe a couple of elevens.
Got me.

I can neither confirm nor deny lol mine wasn't running long enough to see the dash light. And the last thing I pulled codes on was my 92 ranger. It didn't have one though .. well it would come on when you turned the ignition on, but it sure wouldn't flash. Pretty sure I just a test light. I stole an obd 1 tester from a buddy, he doesn't have anything that old and he only knows how to tear a vehicle up.
