what kinds of signal can the aftermarket cruise signal read?
Chances are it will not read a signal directly from the reluctance sensor which is likely on the rear diff...
I do not have access to ranger wire colors or wiring, I could have helped if it were a 2008 SD
sorry man

VSS location
Hi I have checked my pcm and dont have the orange with violet wire you mention but I have a solid violet wire with a thin orange strip in location of the center plug of the pcm upper left hand corner as standing in front looking at the firewall could this be the one Thanks Jeff

do you have an ABS module, because there should be a VSS wire coming from the vss module, unless the 2008 ranger went to all CAN communication
