Our technicians use OEM tools to diagnose and clear codes properly after repairs so the light doesn’t return. Choosing the dealership means transparent estimates, parts matched to Ford specifications, and warranty-backed repairs. We often save customers money over time by preventing repeat visits and protecting vehicle longevity. If a battery replacement is needed, we install the correct group-size battery compatible with the Ranger’s electrical system, test the charging circuit and reset learned values where required.
