pilotsR4pimps 0 #1 October 16, 2009 I have a 2001 Ranger 4X4 XLT and the stereo and all the lights on the deck keep blinking at a synchronized rate. Obviously there is power getting to the system so it's not the fuse. Does anybody have any ideas, theories what could be causing this? I need to fix it cause i am selling it. It, is just the stereo. Everything else works beautifully. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe it or not, that was the only problem that I had with it. Sold it to a friend at 89K miles, and he ran it up to 298K before the engine conked out.
