How about some more "The Ranger has been discontinued" and "Help, my interior light(s) won't shut off " threads as well? LOL

My mother and I had 93 and 90 Cougars respectively, the latch had 2 switches 1 to control the seat belt and 1 to control the door ajar light, but it had a traditional door jamb switch for the interior lights. I hated them too, the driver's side belt on both cars stopped moving (gears were stripped) so I rotated the override till it was all the way to the rear, then unplugged the motors and used them manually.

Maybe on your truck but my truck gets 23-24 mpg's going 70mph for the whole tank.

I have gotten 23-24 mpg EVERY single time I have driven all highway for the whole tank. I know I'm not wrong. If you ask me, your being unrealistic
