Where is the computer on a 2000 Ford Ranger?
A 2000 Ford Ranger doesn't have a single, easily identifiable "computer" like a desktop PC. Instead, it has several electronic control modules (ECMs), often called Engine Control Modules (ECM) or Powertrain Control Modules (PCM). These are essentially the "computers" that control various aspects of the vehicle. They're usually located under the hood, often near the firewall, sometimes under the dash, and may be difficult to see without knowing exactly what to look for. The exact location varies slightly depending on the engine and options. You'll likely need a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year, engine, and trim level to pinpoint the exact location of each module.
