"Bad relay"
Anonymous, AB (2009 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)Sensors (O₂, or oxygen, sensor), emission-control devices (includes EGR), fuel-injection system, fuel gauge/sender, fuel pump, problems filling up the tank.
"The fuel pump issue was unpredictable, the only way we were able to determine it was the issue was by spraying fuel into the carburetor and attempting to start the engine. The engine briefly caught, but would not turn over. From there diagnostic tools were not able to determine if the issue was fuse related or blockage related and it all needed to be change. The truck was unable to be moved and had to be towed to a mechanic, it stayed in place for 1 week until it could be reliably started. No sensors or diagnostic reads were available to determine the issue."
Anonymous, PR (2009 Ford Ranger None 2.3-L 4 Cyl)Squeaks, rattles, wind noises, seals and/or weather stripping, air and water leaks.

"The alternator would not provide current back to the battery, therefore the battery was slowly draining every time it was used to start ignition or when the truck was parked. We went through 3 battery warranties before the mechanic considered it might be an alternator issue and not a regular usage issue."
