SOURCE: Can't get tailgate to open/unlock.

I had the same problem. It could be that its locked or that the mechanism inside is jammed. There is a access panel on the other side of the tailgate. to remove it you need torx screw driver (looks like an allen wrench tip). reomve all the screws and the panel. the rods that keep the tailgate closed are connected to a plastic piece. sometimes the rod slips out, just wedge it back in and the door should open and close normally.

SOURCE: can 1985 f-150 tailgate fit on a 1990 f-150

Probably will. The models really changed significantly in 1993. Models for 1984 to 1992 were pretty much the same. Suggest you measure everything on both to make sure. They are not hard to remover/replace.

SOURCE: 1996 Ford Ranger Pickup truck

The handle is removed by pulling the panel inside the tailgate, just below the top of it...it's held on by 6 or 8 screws. The latches on the bed itself are held on by torx head bolts, if I'm not mistaken

How do you open a 1990 Ford Ranger tailgate that will not fully release on one side?

The tailgate handle is attached to two rods with each one controlling a separate lock. If you raise the handle you may find a spot where you can see the rods in behind the fulcrum point of the handle. If you can see the rod that is not working properly you may be able to move it with a screwdriver enough for it to release the affected lock. Some trucks have removable access panels on the tailgates inside so you can open it when this problem occurs. Worst case scenerio is to break the handle assembly and get to the rods.

Will 1990 ranger run with oil sensor disconnected

Short answer: Yes

the oil sensor unplugged will either show a light on your dash(Or oil gauge won't work, not sure if you have a gauge!)

The O2 sensor being unplugged will make the truck run in open loop, so it'll run rich, but it WILL run

Handle on tailgate wont open

We have the same problem, remove the panel on inside tailgate and you will find the handle broken, it is made out of pot metal. You need new handle from dealer or salvage yard.

How to remove a tailgate

from a '02 Ranger...should be same...
rate me FIXYA!
  • disconnect tailgate stop cables
  • open tailgate normally...but stop when you are nearly halfway down (45 degree angle to ground).
  • now, pull tailgate away from bottom pivot (hinge) pin on either the left or right side of tailgate. This should allow both hinge pins to be free from the rest of truck.
