I own a house there...... so there is an argument for it. And I have been up there several times so far this winter. Can't quite argue for being a resident,...

[J Tiers]

Hmmmmm.

Here in backward Missouri, I have been on multiple lists for several weeks, and am definitely eligible, but am still being told that...

Won't work, many draw about 3A AC, even though actual power is lower than 100W. Shuts the inverter right down. BTDT.

Phones, sure, if you...

Not sure just what the comment is directed toward...... But, it gets and stays pretty humid here, and what I do is to keep an old hair dryer handy near...

[J Tiers]

No, you can still get the diesel 5 speed.

You DO need to be in europe. But they are made...

[J Tiers]

New ones (2019) were horrible, you could not GIVE me one that I would keep. The Ranger is "just right" in essentially every way. Yes, peculiarities,...

[J Tiers]

No, some variants do have a 100W (?) 120V outlet as stated, behind the console, facing the rear seats.

I am not clear if that is a "package"...

[J Tiers]

May be automatic, if that is the issue. Wait a while, try again.

Do you have a voltmeter/multimeter?

If so, you may want to...

[J Tiers]

So, All the time I was up north, the autostart was AFU and presumably the battery was not being charged.

On the way back, the temp got up...

I had an S10 until it started letting me down on the road.

Drove a Colorado.... Worst Truck Ever.

The Ranger would work, 1860lb...

When you count in the "yuppie trucks" with the 4 foot beds, even fewer tow, percentage-wise. Those who do, however tend to tow quite a bit....

[J Tiers]

Yep, full rich and max boost. Slurps down fuel. But when you need it, you need it.

[J Tiers]

As-in, NOT a motor start type, but a motor run type..... Most motor run caps are OK with going right across the line, but the wrong size capacitor...

[J Tiers]

Sticky normally means plasticizer oozing out. Not all plastics have that material. The ones that do not last the longest, there is less that changes....

[J Tiers]

Sure, but the question is what cause? If the inverter was kaput, the fuse could be blown, because it pulls a lot of current in that condition.
...

[J Tiers]

Well, then the "UPS" function is not operational, which is the battery and inverter section, possibly the relay switchover section.
...

[J Tiers]

And NO SALT or else you would have no car in 250,000 miles. I've routinely driven to 200K miles, so I don't see the issue....

[J Tiers]

Well, perhaps we don't understand your problem.

Does the battery backup not work?

Or does nothing whatever going to the outlets...

[J Tiers]

Ah, well, ther is a REASON for that......................

The vehicle manufacturers don't tell you what the REAL schedule is, unless you...
