Pawpaw and JamesT96GT -
Thanks. Your recommendations worked: First I used a contact cleaner. Then I sanded all the contacts. Then I pulled, checked and reinstalled all the appropriate fuses. When I put it back together - voila! It worked.
Two weeks after purchasing this Ranger, I now have a sharp looking - smooth humming - new windshielded - new studded tired - new batteried - new shock absorbered - front end tightened - all fluids drained/replaced - platinum plugged - K&N filtered - chrome tie downed and exhaust tipped - newly Rhino line'd - Zaino'd - Rain-x'd - Armoralled - AND parking brake light fixed 'lil truck.
Done!

Good grief Frumious, I got plum wore out just reading about all that work you've done to that puppy!!!! LOL
Good to hear the "E brake on" warning light is now working. The contact cleaner probably woke it up, good find, fix & feedback.
Which contact cleaner did you use????
Hang on to it, as it'll probably come in handy when the dome light won't go out & you'll need to spray it's door activation switch, with the contact cleaner, to wake it up too!!!!

I enjoy bringing older vehicles "back to life". I started doing this when I was a kid. My first was my grandfather's then father's 1937 Pontiac. This 95 Ranger reconditioned beautifully. My 16 year old daughter gets it - if she keeps her grades up for six more months and masters its 5-speed manual. Her eyes are as big as saucers everytime she sees it.
The cleaner was TECHSPRAY Blue SHower II General Purpose Degreaser. I walked into my local electronics store and told them what I was trying to do. They recommended this. It worked.
Thanks again for the good advice.

Frum just remind your daughter to keep her doors locked at school, had a radio stolen because my window was slightly cracked (even with the rain gaurd things covering it), and people find it amusing, at least around here, to knock manuals into neutral if they can find them and let them roll across the parking lot (ours is on a hill).
