I have the same problem 2018 wildtrack fault code shows rear wheel speed sensor but the full wiring harness needs replacing. £950 at evans halshaw. It’s a joke these issues should not be happening in vehicles until they are 20 years old. All of you need to kick off with ford as I have.

Stalls when driving

1996 Ford Ranger 180000 miles
Hi everyone, please help me. Some weeks ago, the ABS light started turning on occasionally and it now remains this way. I don't know if it has something to do but I've noticed the air conditioning is not working any more. After driving for some minutes in the city, I noticed a power loss; the vehicle slowed down and suddenly felt a jerk as if the engine wanted to stall. This event repeated two to three times until it finally stalled. At that moment, the engine could only be started after the third attempt. The following day, after driving for three blocks, the car stalled. In this opportunity,… Read complete

Check the engine's ground wire, it might be that the heat or movements made the screw loosen or get damaged, as everything you are talking about is electric. It might be that with the jerks and movements, the computer has desprogrammed and that is why it is giving that failure. Check it as well.

Check the EGR valve, as these valves basically need replacing usually after 150000kms

The ABS, ESC, and Hillstart warning messages on your 2019 Ford Ranger could indicate a problem with one or more of the vehicle's safety systems. ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) are important safety features that help prevent skidding and loss of control while driving. If these systems are not working properly, it can be dangerous to drive the vehicle.
To resolve these issues, you should have the vehicle inspected by a qualified Ford dealership or mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem using a scan tool and other diagnostic equipment and make the necessary repairs to get the ABS, ESC, and Hillstart working properly again.

I talked with a friend who has a Ford Ranger. He said his 2001 doesn't have any door lights either and it is standard for them not to have light.

Rear antilock/ brake light

1989 Ford Ranger Extended cab/ 2.9l V6/ Mitsubishi manual transmission, XLT 325503 miles
Rear antilock light is always on but gets brighter whenever the brake light intermittently comes on. Have attempted pulling codes both with an OBD1 scanner and by pulling blink codes. Have not been able to get any codes out of it. Fuses are all good and every rabs related component passes a visual inspection. I have not been able to figure this one out. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look.

Adjusted the seat forward all sudden the truck does not start anymore

2008 Ford Ranger 168000 miles
So the truck went into lockout mode and won't recognize either keys the spare or the actual regular main key now I've reset the fuel pump check the connection between everything in the vehicle at this point I've checked the starter relay I've checked the PCM relay and I'm stumped at this point I've tried the door lock reset I'll try the ignition reset with both keys I'm still running into the issue where the light for the lockout or security flashes once then six times only after blinking rapidly every time I try to start the truck. I've also even tried jumping the starter relay to no luck. Is there something I'm missing here?

Automatic door locks

1999 Ford Ranger 149500 miles
Door lock and unlocks on drivers side but not passenger side. I think passenger door may have been replaced before I got it due to having a separate key for passenger door.

ABS brakes locking while driving

2016 Ford Ranger 180000 miles
Hi, my ranger’s breaks have been coming on while driving, lucky I has been driving slowly when this has happened, mechanic said it is a problem with the ABS braking system, and that it could happen at any speed and very dangerous. I know there was a previous recall on rangers for this problem but as there is no recall I have been told by ford that I will have to pay for the repairs. Has anybody had this? Or any advice? Thanks
