The BODY
2006 Ford Ranger

While driving at highway speed got a fuel cap loose warning light on dash board. pulled off the highway and checked and it was tight. took the 2006 ford ranger to the repair shop where it was found that the cross frame that supports the spare tire under the bed has rusted free at both ends! it was fortunate that the cable that lifts the tire into placed was still attached. had the tire come loose it would most likely caused the rear end to lift up and at 60 mph in morning rush hour traffic that would be spectacular! the reason for the warninglight was tha as the frame broke loose it crcked the connection to the emissions canister that is mounted on the corss framemember.
