Pull the headlight switch relay and see if it's stuck. It's in the fuse box under the hood.

Re: Safe To Drive?

Just take the air filter hose off leave everything else on and use a rag and sea foam to wipe out the inside off the throttle body.Make sure the flap is clean and closes freely.

Re: 2004 Ranger manual tranny hard to shift.

Make sure you put the correct trans fluid in if it's to heavy it will cause hard shifting when it's cold check the owners manual. And if the clutch plate is dragging it will cause shifting problems.
