Houston we have a problem...

[rot]

Tim, try disconnecting the brake light switch first. If that doesn't do it, the Ranger has a box called (I think) the Generic Electronic Module that does the heavy lifting for a lot the electronic functions including the wipers and door/ignition switch warning chime. I know this because the one in my '95 Ranger went bad after I hit someone who made a left turn in front of me. Now, the wipers sometimes start up on their own accord or won't shut off and the chime sounds whenever I open door whether I have the keys in it or not. Anyhow, if shorting the brake light switch doesn't fix the problem, it cold be the GEM.

Name on this end is Terry..bwaaa!
Yeah I saw a bit on the GEM..gawd I was hoping to bypass that...but you might be right on the money.
Thanks man!
Damn..hit a tree and probably wiped out command central...
I need a low power up sequence...
Houston! No burn! No burn! but the wipers are working FB!
Good thing I didn't get the torpedo tube add on...
Lordy..

Let me know how you make out Rottie. I'll try to get you a wiring diagram for the brake light circuit if you need it.
