Dome light comes on when the vehicle doors are closed and stay on. Also the windshield wipers come on as they please when I do not activate them.
Sometimes when I use my turn signal to make a left turn it stops working and smoke comes from the steering wheel area where the turn signal switch is located.
Consumer states that the dome lights will not go off inside the truck. Driver has to pull the fuse to turn them off. Please provide more information. Mr

No summary
Dome light inside of vehicle would stay on at all times, and run the battery down. Also, dealership changed the driveshaft and transmission . When using transmission, consumer heard a noise. Noise was not there at first until dealership replaced transmission.
Suspension alignment--dealer has made two attempts to correct constant wandering of vehicle toward low side of road. Unable to correct, vehicle drifts unless constantly corrected. Brake system--first reported to dealer as severe grabbing/pulling to right (vehicle will almost change lanes). Rotors machined, then pulled left. Dealer tried same remedy again, returned to pulling right. Last attempt, tried to correct suspension/front-end alignment problems to alleviate braking problems. Head lights--failed without warning at interstate speed. Running lights continued to operate. Spontaneously turned on again after about three minutes. Dealer unable to diagnose/correct failure.
Defective right front headlight assembly. Causes beam to flucuate erratically when driving , specifically over rough areas of road. Have returned the vehicle to the dealer twice with no satisfaction. Dealer proposed repair that I will not agree to because a) it is has not been approved by ford motor co b) it will negate the ability to adjust the headlight assembly should the need arise.
Windshield wiper switch inoperative. Yh
Intermittently when the turn signal is applied the windshield wipers activate. When the wipers are on high, the operate in the intermittent mode. The dealer has been notified.
Multi-function switch control fails intermittently. Mjs
I had made my first appointment after signing the papers, purchasing the 99 ford ranger. I thought these things can be taken care after the first appointment. I had gone by the dealership 4 times, and can't get any of these taken care off. 5800 miles later, I still have these problems. The body shop manager said he isn't set up like the manufaturer, and the service manager is full of I'm sorries. Larry kramer is the engineer representative with ford. I have asked the dealer to replace the vehicle , they said I am sorry we already got your check from the bank, and we would not be able to replace this truck. Larry kramer would not give me any straight answers. He was ready to fight, I do'nt know what to do with this truck . I am concerned for my safety!
