DOME LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF AND DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE AFTER CLOSING DOOR, SPARK KNOCKS TERRIBLY AND I WAS TOLD PLUGS ARE 110000 MILES PLATINUM SO PROBABLY CARBON BUILDUP, MANUAL SHIFTER KNOB GEAR INDICATOR ROTATES WHEN DRIVING, RADIO DID NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I TURNED OFF TRUCK A FEW TIMES THEN NO FURTHER INCIDENTS, DOES NOT SEEM ABS WORKS AS REAR BRAKES STILL LOCK UP UNDER FAST STOPS, EXPECTED BETTER THAN 25 MPG, AC HAD A PROBLEM WITH CLUTCH I THINK, but IS OK NOW.
I still have it despite the issues and have not found anything else I want to replace it with, a surprise.
I really enjoy my little truck. I have a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT that I have been driving for two years. It had 80,000 miles when I got it and it has 110,000 now. I drove it from San Diego, CA to Tyler, TX with no problems. The only thing I have replaced on this truck is plugs and wires!
However, I do have the Phantom Wipers, Door Ajar (I know how to fix these now), and now, a new issue. My speedometer started going crazy and my ABS light came on in the same night. I have yet to figure out if this has something to do with me pulling the fuse for my dome light or the different size tires that I had put on right before driving from California, but I will keep you all posted. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

This review is of my truck and I would like to update it. I think the spark knock was bad gas because I ran premium gas through it several times and now no knocking, but oddly my gas mileage went up to 30 mpg with premium! I fixed the door ajar and dome light problem by spraying WD 40 in the door latch. Still has original tires on it with 81,000 miles and the brake pads are original too.
