What do I do if my Ford Ranger dashboard warning light is on?

There are so many reasons the Ranger dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.

What can cause my Ranger to leak water?

It is common for electric cars to have some water accumulation underneath them after using the air conditioning system for a bit of time. Electric car A/C systems use receiver dryer assemblies to help the refrigerant stay clean, and this process can create condensation that drains under the vehicle on warm days. Noticing a bit of water under your Ranger shouldn’t be a cause for concern, but significant amounts of water or any coolant leaks could indicate an issue with your cooling system.

Local EV Service for 1998 Ford Ranger

Have you noticed your Ford Ranger behaving differently? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. Whatever the issue, Firestone technicians can conduct a free* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Ranger's high voltage cooling system -- if the high voltage battery is running too hot, it will reduce your battery's performance. Then again, it could be that your Ranger has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Firestone Complete Auto technicians are trained to provide conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, and that includes your 1998 Ford Ranger.

Select Firestone locations also offer high voltage/advanced services for electric cars like Ford Rangers. A high voltage service is anything that requires taking out the Ford's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.

These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 1998 Ford Ranger in to identify the root cause. With the information gathered, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will examine the Ranger's high voltage battery filter, if applicable, and clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: The outer cable jackets and connectors on your 1998 Ranger will be inspected and tested to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. Your technician will notify you if the cable is in need of replacement.

Isolation test: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Ford Ranger's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries may need replacement sooner in hot climates or if you frequently use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these chargers can heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll inspect the regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Ford Ranger.

These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call ahead to confirm!
