on the side of tran or if speed senor is for ABS braking it is bye the front brakes
== == I believe on the 99 it is a simple bolt on sensor on the differential. Actuallly on the '99 Ranger the Speed sensor is near the transmission. There are manuals that point you in the direction of the differential, however, that is what is known as the ABS sensor. Why they call it the speed sensor in the manuals, I have no idea. Hope that is of some help. The speed sensor should be located on the right side of the transmission, about midway between the bell housing and the tail. There are 2 speed sensors one near the transmission and one near the rear axle. If your abs light has been on since the problem started then the one in the rear needs to be replaced; if this is not the case most likely the other sensor is bad. Simple if the speedometer doesnt work it is the one on the tranny...the 99 also had 4 wheel abs on some so there might be a sensor on the front spindle too I have a 99 ranger 2WD reg cab. A couple years back the speedometer started acting funny. It vibrated violently and displayed about 1/3 to 1/2 my actual speed once I got over 30-35mph. I replaced the speed sensor on the differential and this solved the problem. I'm guessing that if the speedometer doesn't read at all then it is the transmission sensor. However the differential speed sensor (ABS) may have speedometer symptoms as well. The part was about $17 and it took a socket and 5 minutes to replace.
Primary (bank 1 sensor 1) O2 sensor slow or not responding. Wiring or connector to senor or O2 sensor defective. Exhaust leak possible but not likely.
Differential presseure sensors invariably have two presure sesnors. Subject both the sesnors to atmospheric pressure and adjust if needed. Keep one sensor 1 under known pressure and another sesnor 2 under atmospheric pressure and adjust if needed. Repeat step 2 for the other sensor 2 and adjust if rquired.

The 1993 ford ranger uses 80w 90 gear oil in the rear differential. While some people use other mixes for special applications, this is the factory recommended oil for everyday use.
The speed sensor for the speedometor and cruise control should be on the back of the transmission. There is another speed sensor on the top of the differential to indicate one wheel spinning and the other wheel rotating slower. There is another speed sensor on the front and back wheels to control ABS. Which sensor are you looking for??? Joedi

a malfunction has been detected in the Anti-lock Braking System , could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem
The TPS provides a variable voltage signal to the computer to indicate throttle opening. There is no other function.
I found this picture of a Standard Motor Products camshaft position sensor for a 2002 Ford Ranger 2.3L under Ignition in the RockAuto.com catalog: http://www.rockauto.com/ref/SMP/SMPDetail2.html?PC430.jpg Pictures for the other Ranger engines are probably also available in the catalog (go to Ignition and hit "More Info" next to the part). Knowing what the part looks like should help you track it down.

If the rear end whines on decell (downhill, foot off the gas) it needs a ring and pinion, in other words, a differential overhaul/new rear end.
