BOLINKXR :sick:
I replaced this 3 times across 6 years on my 94 Ranger.
If you mean your backup lights, I'm not sure where the switch for this is at. I think it might be on the transmission itself.
My best guess - somewhere on the right side, in front of the right wheel well. Probably have to get to it from the bottom.
The resistor pack is burned up. That's why the high speed still works, it bypasses the pack.
The pack is usually near the blower motor under the hood, on right side. Has several wires going into it.
Any replies on this would really help and also it has to be cheap for i dont want to spend a fortune on a cd player.
THANKS ALOT,

I have a 4.0L with the mazda 5 speed manual transmission in it. I think the problem is with the syncronizer but I'm not sure. I've been told it will cost between 450-1200 to rebuild or replace the tranny. I was also told it was a common problem. I have had a hard time finding the same tranny in a scrap yard that didn't have the same problem.
If I come up with a cheap answer, I'll let you know.
Thanks For Any Responses.
Now, if the problem is that when you are on cruise and push on the brake and the cruise does not dis-engage, the problem is the brake switch on the upper brake pedal is bad. You will also not have any brake lights if this switch is sticking.
I discovered while looking at it that the cable had been frozen (We are having temperatures around -40 celsius up here saskatchewan Canada) so it was binding. The cable actually snapped which will cost me somewhere around 35-40 Canadian to replace. No big deal.
Please help. Going to get to that switch this evening & clean it.
Thanks
You hear correctly -- the switch that senses whether the door is open is in the slot visible along the side of the door when the door is open near the door handle; it mates to the fixed silver tubular latch in the door jam. Spray the switch with contact cleaner (WD-40 works in a pinch).
FOR THE PAHNTOM WIPER SWITCH THAT TURNS ITSELF ON BY ITSELF:
The following is based on observation of my 1999 Ranger, other years may be different. I fixed the phantom windshield wipers myself, you can too. It turns out all you need to do is clean the switch up.To clean the switch does NOT require removing the turn signal from the steering column and takes about ten minutes.1. On the turn signal lever, remove the end cap with a small screwdriver.2. Remove the phillips screw located under the end cap.3. WATCH IT! there is a spring to push back against the wiper rotating knob. Hold in the wiper switch so it won't go flying.4. WATCH IT! again. When removing the wiper rotating switch there are two detents that are pressed against the inside of the knob (with another small spring pushing against each other) to give detents to the different levels of wiper delay when you rotate the knob.5. Inside you will see the switch wiper mounted to a white plastic piece that you can just pull out. It looks kind of weird with 4 arms and an elbow wiper coming out of it.6. After you pull out the switch wiper just gently clean everything inside, a sort of circuit board looking goodie with rings for the switch wiper to rotate on.I used a rag and a small (jewelers) screwdriver to clean the board inside and very carefully made sure the gaps between the traces were clean. There is quite a bit of grease in there.I reassembled the switch using lubriplate (it was handy) and it was very easy to disassemble and to reassemble.I have had no re-occurrence of the phantom windshield wiper and I don't miss it a bit.
Thanks for the info. I took the door panel off & unplugged the switch & cleaned the switch with some electric contact cleaner, didn't work! I assume the switch needs to be replaced so I'm going to check with my Ford parts dealer. In the mean time I just left it unplugged. I don't here the beeping in my sleep anymore!!
Thank You
