flyfishinglittlecorn Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hello, My battery was accidentally hooked up backwards on my truck, now the starter stays engaged when I start the truck until I put it in Drive or reverse ( still runs in neatral), and the battery no longer charges.( the truck will run until the battery is dead though) Please help as I really need this little fishing truck to work. 1992 Ford Ranger extended cab 4.0l 6 cyl motor Automatic 2wd Thanks Brandon Fawcett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Moses Ludel Posted July 27, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2015 Fly fishing is a very good reason to keep your Ranger running...Sounds like a damaged or shorted neutral/park (start) safety switch or a dragging, possibly shorted, ignition switch. Not charging could be a blown fusible link in the alternator's charging path. Reversing battery leads could short a fusible link...If that's not it, have the charge output from the alternator checked. Check the neutral/start safety switch circuit and switch. Keep us posted...Members will be glad to help! Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
