05 Ford Ranger 2WD replaced rotors, bearings, and breaks. Have high pitched whining noise & jerks steering wheel when breaking. Possibly readjust bearing?

Hi Allison: If the work was done in a shop I would bring it back and review the problems with the service manager. Usually they are really good about getting it done right, without additional cost. If this was a "home" job, there could be several different problems. I'd be jacking it up and checking that there is no slack in the bearing installation. I'd also be looking for any reason that one brake would drag or slide. To exaggerate, if one rotor is greasy, and another one scored, braking will be different and the wheel will jerk. Here's a fun way to check. Find a large vacant space like an empty parking lot. At about 10 kmp, very lightly hold the steering wheel, and sharply hit the brakes. Depending on how much fun you are having you can try it a bit faster. The steering wheel will sharply turn to the side that is getting the most braking force. It won't take long to track down the problem. Hope this helps. Be safe. Fix them ......... soon.

05 ford ranger 3.0......if I put my thermostat on

Cold air like, really cold or just cool. Sounds like your hot/cold blend door motor has perhaps failed with the blend door in the semi hot position. Blend door motor failure is very common on the Ford truck HVAC systems. Is is located behind the glovebox on top of the HVAC housing assembly.

Check pcv valve

PCV is located on the valve cover and runs to the intake tube, take the PCV out and shake it to make sure the valve is not stuck. PCVs are usually just replaced if in question because they only cost a few dollars.

Put new transmission in 2005 ranger now when in reverse the sound on radio goes out could it be bad neutral safety switch?

Hi George: It's always interesting when problems and causes seem to be unrelated. In your case, it is electrical, and the first thing electrical for reverse that I can think of is the back up lights. Check the wiring, or dis-connect the backup light wires from the switch and see what happens. Hope this helps.

Had rebuilt transmisson put in now put shifter in reverse instantly turns the radio volumn off the radio digital info stays on. any connection to the new transmission. didnt happen before repair

check around the bell housing for a wire that is pinched during the re-fittment. There really is no connection between the problem and the replaced transmission so you will have to consider anything electrical not in the correct position

Turn signal blowing fuse after being on about 30 seconds

(a) there could be water in the socket for the bulbs / or to much grease ///// (b) multifunction switch could be bad is it happening on both sides ? l/r (c) if only one side check for a wire that maybe bare with no insulation on it & it's grounding out (d) could be a burned out socket on that side check for melted plastic in the socket you can also check this by removing the wires on the side it only happens on & tape the wires separately if it does not blow the fuse you found it,but I think the back signals the culprit here there are seals on the socket/light and it could've worn away & water is getting in //// if all is good maybe the actual flasher is shorting out inside
