1995 Ford Ranger lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 40 of 40, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Door ajar chime continuously rings and dome light remains on creating distraction during driving, and windshield wipers randomly operate and sometimes do not work on high speed.
I have a couple of complaints actually. The two more serious is, 1) there is a constant dinging while im driving, and the dome light stays on constantly, car on or off. The saftey issue is that, how am I to cocentrate on driving while both of these two defects are constantly occuring. 2) my windshield wipers will randomly cut on while driving. This is another big distraction, expecially while trying to concentrate. I also have a couple of other friends with a ranger "different year" that these same distracting events occur with thier truck. I hope you issue a recal on these two items befor something terrible happens. Please write back and tell me progress with this situation. Look forwarf to hearing from you soon. Shannon winburn.
Intermittently windshield wipers will come on by themselves. *ak dome light stays on and chime sounds for several minutes due to driver and passenger door switch failures.
The door chime does not shut off or it stays on for a very long time. I took the truck in when it was under warranty and it was fixed for a short time, then the problem started again. It is especially bad on warm days. I noticed this was an issue in the federal safety agency item numbers: sb 603550 and sb 613399. This problem is distracting and needs to be fixed correctly.
Windshield wiper sensor mlfunctioned. Windshield wipers will just come on anytime while driving down the street. Also, sometimes it makes the door chimes ring, and regulates the rear interior light. Dealer will replace parts for free, but consumer has to pay to have the right side done first.
The door and key chimes come on whenever the ignition is turned off. Key must be removed befor they will go off. The dome lights won't go off after exiting the vehicle. The dome light wont go off until driving forward, making backing out of a driveway dangerous in the dark, consumer removed fuse because nothing else works. Nlm
Door chimes and dome lights stay on continuously. The only way to stop is to pull the fuse. Unfortunately when the fuse is pulled, windshield wipers do no work nor does the speedometer. This is the 2nd occurrence. The dealer claimed to have fixed the problem (after 3 days in shop) in 1997. Also the windshield washer & wipers come on without touching the controls.
I am having a problem with my dome light and door adjar chime. Problem has been repaired twice by ford dealer and am now having same problem again. Chime and dome light will stay on even though the drivers side door is closed. As for the passenger side, the dome light stays on, even though the door is closed. Had to pull fuse to stop chime noise. Unfortunately, when I do that I have np windshield wipers. Dealer now wants me to pay to have this problem fixed again. After reading about all the other 1995 ford rangers that have the same problem, I want the federal safety agency to demand a recall from ford and fix these problems correctly once and for all.
Windshield wipers, when turned on, are erratic. They do not hold a steady cadence. Also, domelight stays on after closing the door. It will stay on for up to 5 minutes.
Module controls door chimes, windshield wipers, interior lights... Wipers turn on without user controls. Wipers stop working when they are being used or needed. I understand that this is an on going problem, yet there have been no recalls from ford motor co.
Interior dome light stays on and door ajar chime stays on. This is a very common problem (see postings at www.fordranger.com). Obviously a defective design and a safety hazard (try hearing anything going on with the bong, bong, bong going on continuously).
Dome light and door chime stay on near constantly with door closed. Chime does not always have same beat as songs on radio; distracting!
Check engine light stays on, door chime stays on constantly, light dome stays on even at night when you are driving down the road, heater doesn't work, and most important windshield wipers work intermitiently and spray fluid distracting driver. I've almost had accidents with the wipers not working right, sometimes the wipers don't work at all when raining. Please do something before someone is killed. Thank-you, shannon case
Windshield wipers are working intermittently and sometimes the wipers won't work at all. Turn off without turning off engine. Also dome light remained on, seat belt warning light not turning off for some time unless vehicle is turned off.
The door chimes would remain on even after the door is closed. Dome light stays on and windshield wipers would come on & off on their own. Dealer reprogrammed the on-board computer, no problems since. *ak
