I like my ranger, BUT the fuel kill switch is in a really bad spot. FORD SHOULD REALLY RECALL THIS PROBLM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. Ok the fuel kill switch is located on passenger side fire wall where your right foot is. So if your 4ft or taller most likely you will hit this STUPID switch with your foot. If so it will set it off. It kills the power going to your fuel pump and then your truck will stall. This happend to me driving 65 mph down the highway. yes very scary. someones gonna get hurt from this stupid switch being in the spot its in. I've had to reset this switch about 5 differnt times cause someone bumps it with there foot.NOT COOL WHEN YOUR DRIVING.If you need to reset the switch look for it on the passenger side fire wall on the right and just push the red button down. Make sure key in ing.is off. Hope this info. helps and FORD RECALLS THIS PROBLM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT
