Alright i am pretty new to Fords and bought a body dropped ranger and am going to try to get it inspected and have a few issues, first off the ABS and Passenger side air bad have been removed thus making the lights come on and since this is a 96 Ranger it now needs to be emission tested and hooked up to a computer, and i do not think that it will pass due to this. Is there any way to by pass these so it looks like they are hooked up? Or am i going to have to buy the air bad and ABS system and re-install them? Also the blinkers and windshield wipers do not work, have checked the fuses and ground but do not get anything, got any ideas? Thanks for any help.

take the lights out its that simple. as for the wipers and blinkers not working you need to fix them youc ant pass inspection without them working in any state. take the bulbs out and clean the sockets sometimes they become corroded and dont get a good contact. good luck

Well i guess what i am trying to find out is if this is going to show up when they run a scan of the computer? Because they check that stuff. I was already going to remove the lights.

I replaced my steering wheel and lost the bag. I pulled the bulb out. In my county we dont have to have the computer hooked up or emissions. Just the basic safety inspection. You might need to check around to find a shady shop to help you out on your inspection

Yeah you have to have it inspected in the county you live. I would try to find someone to sell you a sticker if I were you
