1995 Ford Ranger X-cab review from North America

The dilemma with the wipers is the switch on the turn signal arm. I used to work for a National After-market Part Store. We sold a couple of the turn signal/wiper switch assemblies. If you remove the end cap beneath the end of the arm with a thin screw driver or carefully with a knife edge, beneath the cover is a small screw. Once removed, the end of the switch assembly can be removed, which will expose the thin copper bands, that are utilized in activating the intermittent/ and constant wipers in addition to spraying the washer fluid.

The problem my wife and I have had with the switch, is that the washer fluid won't spray. I have taken the end apart a couple of times, and have cleaned, greased and slightly re-bent the copper contacts which are very flimsy. I believe a replacement switch assembly was roughly $50-$60, this is a quick fix, if you're caught in heavy rain.

The Ranger has been fairly good to us.

The gas tank sending unit has gone bad, keep track of the mileage on the odometer...

Replaced the EGR valve twice, throttle position sensor, plugs/wires, drive shaft center support bearing, eats air conditioning refrigerant, the dome/buzzer stick once in a while.

We hadn't received a key fob... the security system decided to activate itself - what a headache that was.

Replacement of the antifreeze thermostat is a headache as well.
