Hello!
There are two differnt reasons for black and white smoke coming from the tail pipe.
Black smoke means fuel runs rich (car getting to much gas). Check fuel pressure/air filter.
In some cases the white smoke means car is burning oil or transmittion fluid. Have tem checked/replaced.
If you can feel a smelly smoke it can be catalytic converter.
In a worsest scenario if car blowing white smoke it can be engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket ,or a warped/cracked head. So you need to keep your eye on coolant level and check your engine for overheat. Also might be good to check your oil for traces of coolant (on a dipstick it would be a milky substance mixture of oil and coolant).
Good Luck
If it's aftermarket it is probably the control box. Check for power and ground at the aftermarket box, then you can check for outputs when the remote is pressed. If it isn't sending the signal to the BCM you have found the issue.
These codes refer to the sensor that reads which gear the transmission is in. The Transmission Range Sensor. The sensor is getting the wrong signal from the transmission. I'm not familiar with Rangers but there is usually a transmission 're-learn' trick that can reset the transmission to factory settings.
I don't know if this will work but it won't hurt the vehicle if you try it.
Turn the ignition to the second position, (Ignition On - Engine OFF). Wait for the dashboard lights to turn off.
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down as far as it will go and hold it there. Keep it pressed down for at least 30 seconds.
Keep the pedal pressed down and turn the ignition to the off position. DO NOT remove the key.
Do nothing else for 2 minutes.
After that remove the key, count to 10, then go for a drive. This should reset the transmission.
for any vehicle on the market, its only necessary to put enough fuel in the tank to register movement of the fuel gauge.
if you have added enough to see it move just a little bit, that is plenty, if the vehicle does not start, begin test procedures to properly diagnose the reason it will not start.
just a gallon can make most move, but if you have put 3 or 4 gallons is and see no movement, check the gauge circuit including the new float and assembly You have just installed
If you have the code try this.
- Turn on the radio.
- press the number 1 button the same number of times as the first number in the code. example..press 4 times for the number 4.
- Use Button 2 for the next number, Button 3 for the next number and button 4 for the last number.
- Press and HOLD button 5 until you hear a beep. The radio should turn on.
Note. It will turn on at the volume it was previously at so be prepared as it might be loud. Yes, I've done that.

You need to identify the fuse and what is on that circuit and look for what is shorting it out. It is normally abraded insulation that is grounding back to the battery, or what is on the end of it has failed.

I recall answering a similar question yesterday. Just follow the hoses downwards from the squirting nozzles. There is normally just one outlet on the pump, two if it has a headlamp washer. You can route the hoses anywhere, just make sure they are away from heat and moving parts. You should find small clips with an open C-shape to hold the hose on its route from pump to screen.

Watch the videos carefully, freeze if you have to. It looks to be located in a very bad place for a blowout. Your grandson should have inspected the tires, as tires only blow out in very limited instances, under inflated, over inflated, worn, bulging, or he hit something at speed racing his mates. Three kids killed near me this morning to that very cause. They think they are invincible. :>(
It sounds like the remote needs to be replaced. On a lot of the remotes when you hold in the unlock button for a few seconds the windows will go down. This can happen when you least expect it like when the remote is in your pocket.
