So.. Fuse 41 in a 2001+ Ford Ranger feeds the Transmission solenoids and also feeds all the O2 Sensor Heater circuits as well as the canister vent solenoid.

Our best advice would be to pick another circuit.. and maybe find a second opinion for Ranger resources.  Just kidding, maybe your partner there misunderstood your intentions for an ignition based circuit (?)..


You would want to use Circuit [31]  20A fog lamps, Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)





Assuming you're wanting to keep this wiring underneath the hood, I would take the time to pull the OE Power Distribution Box itself. It has 2-3 clips that hold it into place, a gentle prying motion in the right direction will release the panel and a slight tug x2 should give you enough room to rotate the panel to view the underside.
But before you do that, I would ask that you take a really good picture of your opened Power distribution box so we can see whats what in it.
