unknown wire
i was changing the oil on my 1990 ranger 2.3 5spd to day. when i pulled my oil filter wrench off of the filter to take it out from the bottom a single wire with a connector fell down. the wire is red with a white mabye oragne stripe. the covering that it Ts off of continues on and conects to the back of the transmission with 2 wires. all my gauges work and the truck starts and has no error lights (however i didnt drive it long enough to see if the temp gauge worked) i felt all over the block and and looked all around the drivers side of the engine but coulndnt find a missing conection. is this just a extra wire? or somthing else?

Mmmm... it's probably not just an extra wire. Do these trucks have a low oil level sensor? That could be it, if they have one.
If you are feeling brave, ground it and see what light lights up on the dash.
