Hi guys, sorry to make this my first post. I'm Shepherd! I created and account here because I ran into a problem with my Ranger that I haven't been able to solve.
This ranger has 478,000 miles on it. A few months ago I did a full tune-up (all plugs, filters, etc) along with the timing belt and fuel pump.
So today I noticed the signals weren't working, which was odd, so I popped open the fuse boxes in the engine bay and cabin and checked everything, I only found two blown 10A ( one in the engine box and one in the passenger box ). They weren't significant things so not worth mentioning.
Anyway, I pulled everything initially one by one - the relays, the diodes, fuses, etc. When I went to turn on the car, it wouldn't start. I replaced all the big relays too.
I don't hear the wine from the fuel pump anymore. When I press the shrader valve to check for any fuel nothing comes out. I took some plugs off the ignition packs to check for any spark when turning over and saw nothing. I also sprayed starter fluid in the intake and it doesn't even sputter, so I guess it for sure also has no spark now too. I have no idea what I could have possibly done, or how to even troubleshoot this.
Also, when I turn the key to electrical on I noticed the CEL doesn't appear at all. Which I can't remember perfectly but I feel like it used to pop up before turning the vehicle on.
SORRY for the long post, I'd really appreciate some insight into what I could do to try and fix this. Thanks!
