Ranger electrical issues

The error codes are varied, implicating different modules at different times. No single module seems to be consistently at fault. The errors seem to be related to a loss of communication rather than a specific component failure. Could your issue have been similar, and was it indeed related to the CAN BUS?

Yep, sounds like the same circus I had. Turned out to be a flaky connection in the wiring harness. I chased it for weeks! Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a reputable shop with experience in Ford electrical gremlins. They'll have the right tools and diagrams to pinpoint the break. The repair costed me around 155€.

Thank you for confirming the similarity and recommending a professional diagnosis. Based on your experience, I will schedule an appointment with a qualified technician to inspect the wiring harness and BUS system connections. Hopefully, that will address the issue and resolve the intermittent system failures.

Whoa, that sounds eerily familiar. I've got a Ranger too (though, a bit older), and I went through something similar last year. Random warning lights, the whole infotainment system going haywire, like it was possessed. Was the error message related to a specific module, like the BCM or PCM, or was it more generic?
