Re: problems with my truck again.

This may sound stupid but have you checked the battery cables? Are they corroded at the battery terminals? Are they firmly connected (you should not be able to twist them around)? Are the cables themselves in good shape? I've heard of a Ranger having a loose connection at the battery and it caused the computer shut down and lock up the brakes.

I've also heard of O2 sensors going bad internally and shorting to ground causing problems elsewhere in the electrical system.
