Thanks guys, I had to order 2 new plugs kits from my Ford dealer, one for the injector and one for the coil pack, since the wires were snipped off leaving no wire to splice with. Anyway they soaked me $90. for those plugs. I'm supposed to get those parts this afternoon. After that I'll tackle what's wrong with the Air Conditioning. It was working great up until that morning so I'm thinking there's a wire chewed off on it also. I'm thinking on spraying something on the wires that rodents don't like but what?

Well I picked up the new replacement plug kits from my Local Ford dealer who charged me 91. dollars for them. I installed them both, which took me about and hour in all. It was hard getting to that last cylinder on the drivers side. The wires are only 20 Gage and short. Anyway I learned that if the computer see's the engine is running rough or has a power loss, it'll not allow the air conditioning to operate, until it see's it back to normal. Wish I'd had known that before, instead of finding out the hard way.. Thanks guys for the replys, Have a great day!!!

4Bigfoot, I am assuming your truck is outside, no garage. Get a bottle of castor oil from Walmart, in the pharmacy section for laxitives. 6 oz. bottle costs about 3 bux. Take a wet rag and smear it around the hood inside, you don't even have to put it on the wires. That solves your immediate problem. Had a problem with chipmonks at home, my truck is in the garage. Ordered a couple of gallons of castor oil. Mixed castor oil and dishwashing detergent 50/50. Mixed it in my wife's blender. Sprayed it 2 oz. to a gallon on 1/2 acre. No moles, no chipmonks, no more pests.
Replacement Ranger 2013 F 150 5.0 STX 4/4 Retired, don't care what gas costs. Gave my real Ranger 2003 to my 16 granddaughter. She said grandpa it has three pedals and I only have two feet. Told her you will figure it out pretty quick. Good luck with the Chipmonk.

everythings back to normal now. I'm retired twice, and have been since 2010, once from USS and recently from school bus driving so I don't have allot of money to be spending on repairs, especially ones that are unnecessary. Thanks again.

Didn't know that!
The corn sounds like it will work, but I feed a couple of tame squirrels, they are no trouble so I don't want to harm them, so I'll try the Castor oil first and see if that helps, but thanks for the information, if worst comes to worst I have another alliterative. Thanks
