My battery went out and now my battery light is stuck on. Apparently it’s quite common to get dash cluster faults after the battery goes out. Requires the cluster to be replaced

My ford ranger showed a transmission light this morning on my way to church, when I returned to it after church service the light was gone, I never came on, should I be worried? What was happening?

Apparently it was an electrical fault, I recalled that a night before I was playing radio in my car, as it's automatic the battery got low, so in the morning had to Jumpstart it, that's when the light came on, since then it never returned.

My Ford Ranger is 2.2L 2017 model and its doing the same. What is the solution on this matter?
I Have same problem and it led to my wife having a accident an overturning the vehicle on a wet road. Had the vehicle for 3 days. Bought it secondhand threw a ford dealer. Nobody can give me a strait answer.
Ive had the same issue with my 2018 3.2 wildtrak, upon restart all the warning lights wen away,
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.
Hi James what was the outcome with Ford after these problems were discovered having a lot of issues with my 2017 Ranger which seem to be the same problem
I have the same problem with my 2019 ranger, ESC service required, ABS, Hillstart not available.

The Engine Code p0191 is the Fuel Sensor Unit , after reading & seeing your video on how to remove & fit it I new that I could do it myself. I went to my local Ford Dealer & told him what I needed & how much was the Sensor Unit, my local Ford Dealer said that I would have to buy the whole Fuel Rail because they don't make them as a Single Unit & the price would be $800 + Fitting the. Rail with the Sensor, I showed this Idiot your video clip & he told me that your video was Wrong , so I told him too shove it I then went to a Spare parts shop & told them what I needed & they had 1 in stock for $370 , all I had ro do was to unsrew it the 1 in the video had 2 bolts but on mine ir was just unscrewing it , so easy I let my truck get COLD when I done the JOB, it took about 20 mins from start to finish. When I took the old part back in they said it's a non - genuine part , I told that Idiot that I would rather have a Bosch part than a Ford part. I just think that this Ford Dealer justs likes Ripping people off & if I ever need any parts in the future I will NEVER go back there. Best regards , Duke
My 2008 turbo Ranger just got wrtten off by insurance co after months of exhaustive independent engineer inspections after filling it with contaminated fuel at Woolworths /Caltex discount fuel. Just salvaged it as economic write-off from Pickles Auctions and would love to see link to the video you mention. The truck was my late Daughter's veterinarian truck so has great sentimental attachment.

CommentFord Ranger PX Traction Control
2013 Ford Ranger 3.2 100000 miles
I have a 2013 PX Ford Ranger, and each morning when I start off on my trip to work I get to the end of the street and the Traction Control light comes on, then activates the Traction Control. I then need to turn the car off and back on and it doesn't happen again. What could this be??? It only it only happens when the car is cold (I live in Brisbane Australia, so cold is +20c) and happens when I drive at slow speed. Or stop for the first time. I've had taken the car to a Ford Dealership and they spent 6 hours on it can could not find an issue. No error codes are reported on the scanner, and cannot replicate the issue because I've driven the car to the Ford Dealership and I have already turn the car off and back on to clear the Traction Control issue. \

I am currently getting the same problem and my local mechanic tracked it down to a faulty ERC valve and I am trying to get Ford to replace free of charge given low Ks ie 63K
Same problem exactly for my 2.2 ranger 2012. What was the outcome with yours???
I have exactly the same issue! My mechanic can't work it out. I'd love to chat or Please share your fix so I can point them in the right direction.
Hi mate have u had any luck with this problem, having the same issue and no mechanic I’ve taken the ranger to con work it out
We are having same problem in 2014 Ford Ranger, has anyone had any luck at all?
My 2013 PX1 is having a similar issue. Mainly when I turn right with momentum the stability control light comes up on the dash. I can hear a suction noise from the engine bay which I can only describe sounds like a ship horn! I loose all acceleration under foot and at its worst I have to stop the car and switch it off to reset. This issue does not seem to happen in a straight line driving situation.
My mechanic can’t find what it is as it won’t throw any codes. The only thing that comes up is ’turbo low power’. I have been told that it could be the electronic actuator on the turbo but there is no definitive evidence that this is the actual issue. It could be throwing this code because of the loss in power. I have noticed that when this issue occurs the top hose ( throttle body to intercooler) depresses. Meaning that it is no longer pressurised instead in a vacuum.

Hey Jake,
Yeah my mechanic was having trouble making sense of it. I’ve since taken it to a auto elec and they are certain that it is the turbo actuator. I’ve decided to up the turbo with the Garrett upgrade and throw in a better flowing intercooler followed by a remap. If this fixes the issue I’ll let everyone know.

@MickTHow’d you go mate? This generation of ranger have small wiring issues and while I’m not getting the same problem with traction, I do have a problem with the engine hunting idol after turbo engagement until the engine is warm. Wonder if this is also an actuator issue...
Anyone have an out come with the TC light staying on issue? Having the same problem
Mine has stopped doing it for now. But it's done this before... Does it every day (or almost every day) for a while, and then it'll stop for a few months.
@JakeThanks for getting back to me. Appreciate it cheers mate
@@NhankHey fellas,
Sorry, really late reply here...
So it sounds like we are all having symptoms that could relate to some of the same issues. So I think with the traction control issue the first thing we checked was the wheel sensors. If they check out ok keep in mind that if you have a big wheel set up and 2' and higher lift kit, it can set the sensors off over time. It seems to be only happening to the right side.
With my ute I had other issues going on at the same time so it through us right off in terms of diagnosis.

Anyone resolve this problem? I'm having the exact same issue 2013 Ford Ranger Hi-Rider 2.2L
After a little while of the fault not happening, the fault has returned, very randomly coming on but generally in the morning not long after first start. My ute is at Ford right now actually for a service. They say some fault codes are showing up regarding the glow plugs open circuit and EGR faulty... ???? They had it overnight but said they couldn't see the fault happen (of course it doesn't happen the morning they had it). They said the glow plugs and EGR need replacing anyway ($1700 ish) and this might indirectly rectify the Traction control issue. (The service manager said they've seen glow plugs get old, have this fault code, it be ignored, and the tip snap off into the cylinder... not good so they need replacing regardless of the traction control issue)
We'll see what happens when I get the ute back and if the traction control fault goes away.

@ZachHey mate, yeah got it back Monday arvo (a few days ago), no faults yet... Buy it'll go periods of time without the light coming on and going into limp mode... so I'm only mildly confident the fault is fixed but hopeful. Ask me in a few weeks haha. (So they changed all glow plugs and replaced the ECG valve. )
@JakeAwesome mate! Yes please, if you could possibly post up in a week or 2 with the outcome will be great for all of us to finally pin point or have an idea on whats causing this fault. Thanks for your quick response legend !
As I posted before its a blocked ERC valve. My mechanic took it out and cleaned it but it will happen again... just carbons up over time especially with short city driving. They can be bypassed but that is not legal because of the anti pollution regs. Ford has been not help at all
Awesome mate ! Yes I have the same problem. I just got off the phone with Ford in Mansfield QLD, blocked ERC/EGR? Valve
Hey guys same problem with mine. Knocking sound on the engine,strong gas smell,limp mode,check engine warning and the traction control warning pops up until i found out that the EGR valve is stucked in close position,manage to remove it with difficulty and made it work to easily pushed the valve spring in and out. I got rid of the knocking sound and strong gas smell but the traction and limpmode is still. There. Anyone knows how to reset it?
Yes blocked EGR valve. Check for any splits in your intercooler hose’s or the intercooler it’s self, I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a split hose.
Hi guys
I’ve got what sounds like the same thing in a PX 2.5 petrol model, ESC light comes in within 30m of driving then if I turn steering wheel more than 90 deg the ABS pulses. Any ideas on this one? Cheers!

Shanialee177 from Australia 3 years ago
2.2lt 2015 hi-rider ranger. Had a problem with trac control light coming on, wheel clicking at low speed only when my vehicle was cold, random limp mode, no fault history on scan tool every time it was scanned. Finally went into limp mode and engine light stayed on after stopping and starting vehicle. Egr fault, put a blanking plate and plugged in a model about $200 all up and I fitted it myself in about 15 minutes. Well I haven’t had a single problem since and I blocked it off about a week ago. This was an on going issue for about 2 years. Was ready to drive it into a tree because nobody could tell me what the hell was going on. Highly recommend doing an Egr block if you haven’t already
Its the wiring harness for wheel sensors need to replace valve body and lead frame because sensors not sending correct signal to auto transmission
2013 px1 highrider - Is this the fix for the traction control/limp mode fault? Mine is doing it intermittently
Hi guys been reading this thread I know some of these comments are from 3 years ago but my 2014 ford ranger has gone to shit. First traction control light came on and the car just had no power while eccelarating now next day the car traction control light is still on and now the engine light is on the car has no power It wouldn't even make it up drive way. Does anyone know what could be the problem I'm thinking the motor is about to die
Hey bro, check your intercooler pipes to see if they are split. That’s what happened to mine same issue. Let me know how you go

Best answer (according to swsranger)
I believe it was due to a power surge, as mentioned all other lights worked. To get this problem fixed I feel the dash board would have to [be sent off for repair at some £140. So cheapest option was to buy a second hand unit off auction site relieving the problem at a lot less price
After remove the batery of my car and take back again now it is not start. In dash only display information STNDRD. Please can you help me to understand on what is happening...

All, the engine light came on and the car slowed down, stopped on the side of the road, turned it off. Then turned the car back on and had a noise coming from under the bonnet, shut it off and now will not start. Anyone know of the main reason? anyone in Perth australia with a diagnostics computer to plug it in and see what is the problem. I asked 1 Ford dealer and told me to bring the car in, just need to know if anyone has or knows of anyone who would ahve the computer to plug it in and find the fault.
On my 2009, 2.3 litre Ranger, all gauges have switched off except for fuel and the engine locks down as soon as it is turned off. Two garages have tried to find the problem but failed. In the past, it has occasionally happened while being driven but the engine has kept on going until it righted itself in a few minutes. Now, it is parked and the engine is locked (with only the fuel gauge working). Any ideas?
Gem pcm maybe. It can cause truck to jump time.
CommentStalls 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.

CommentTemperature raise Solved
2005 Ford Ranger 450000 miles
When the temperature is at its normal range, water starts to leave the deposit and, when there is a water deficit, the temperature raises. The odd thing is that the hose that carries water to the pump is always cold, even the hose that leaves the thermostat, and they are hoses that enter the superior part of the radiator and thus should be hotter. It seems as though water was not flowing. The thermostat is new, so it might be a housing failure, as the gasket was changed for a new and original one.

Common issue with the cluster apparently. When your battery goes out it surges a little and it cooks the small wires in the unit. May very well just need a cluster replacement if it isn’t throwing codes
Hi Jason. I have been having endless problems with my 3.2 wildtrak. The battery keeps going flat. Taken it to Ford who says nothing wrong with the battery or alternator but I must make sure everything is switched off...which I have been doing since the first time it happened. AA also say nothing is wrong with batt and alt but can't tell me what the problem is. The last time I had to jump start it a week or so ago, it also now shows zero fuel and orange fuel light won't go off although the tank is full. Have you had any luck fixing yours? Would really appreciate some advice on how to sort this out. I have spoken to a couple if garages and they say they don't deal with those problems:(

Ford are dumb and haven’t put in a cut to accessories when the ranger is off so you will need to physically unplug everything to stop it draining your battery.
The charge system also does too good of a job at charging and a battery tester won’t recognise you need a new battery as the old one will continue to be pushed into peak charge when you drive it despite the battery not holding that charge while off and stationary.
Fuel light is likely to be a cluster issue as a result of a surge in the battery. Once a battery starts to die in a higher km Ranger it will start to fry the small components in your cluster.
Rangers have cluster gauge issues all the way from 2012-2017 and the only way to fix it is to replace the whole cluster. Very confusing and annoying problem. I would sell your 3.2 very soon as these engine start having endless problems as early as 125,000km. Terrible variable flow oil pump starts to fail, bad/scoring materials used in the piston oil return rings, bad valve stem seals, you intercooler is probably already filled to the brim with blow bye. The 2.2L gives you the same problems but is smaller and less complicated to work on but the 3.2 is insanely hard to work on and have tendencies to blow up at the turbo or oil pump which ends up in a $12,000 engine replacement.

My ford ranger cranks ,starts and then cut off again. I replaced my old engine with another engine,turbo charger,throttle board.It usually cranks and then starts again after a few minutes or hours. Sometimes it goes into safe mood but after a few minutes it removes itself again and sometimes it stops whilst trying to reverse it. What might be the problem?I've tried putting it on the machine bt the only issue being shown is to do with the rear speed sensors but my mechanic believes this has nothing to do with it cranking,starting and then failing to start again whilst showing a battery light and oil light switch light on the dashboard.

Check the big plug behind the passenger kick panel in the footwell. It is pulled tight and the pins can progressively pull out of the opposing plug, dropping power to dash and security immobilizer. Unplug and check all pins and sockets are the same length (push in from behind if not).

CommentSeemingly Random shake at idle/park
1998 Ford Ranger V6 3.0 2WD 298298 miles
Have had the truck for about 3 years has always ran great after i replaced the radiator, which had a leak, when i purchased it. I had a check engine light( cyl 3 missfire/ replace inhector)after i drove it for a few months and it started to shake bad at idle sometimes. Honestly i just threw injector cleaner at it for a while and it would get better till it wore off. Recently i had it shake pretty bad when on the freeway in about 3 gear. And the check engine would flash. I immediately did the injector on cylinder three replacement and she ran like a champ after with the check engine light gone.… Read complete

CommentCheck engine light / traction control light on
2014 Ford Ranger 3.2tdi ford ranger 200671 miles
Hi all few days ago I left for work 5:30am got down the road and car jerked when I took foot off throttle. Put my foot back down and noticed their was no power car was struggling to move. Traction control light came up on dash. Tried turning it off but would not. So reversed the car all the way back home. Next day thought I would give it another go. I made it 2 houses down the road before traction light come back on also with the check engine light. The car struggled to get back home. Literally wouldn't make it up my drive way.
Does anyone have a clue or ideas of what is happening to my car.
Any info will hopefully help. 2014 3.2 ford ranger

What must be the problem of this 2011 Ford Ranger 2.2L Diesel Engine.
As the engine starts, there was no error registered and it functions normally but after a while of revolutions, error warning icon appears on the instrument cluster and subsequently limits the acceleration to only 3,000 rpm.
But if we shut off the engine ang then restart again, the error icon disappears and acellerates again normally until only less than a minute, the error icon again appears and the cycle of low RPM again occurs.
