I was driving when my ranger unexpectedly died. When it died the check engine, oil, and battery light came on. I've never had a problem with my truck since it's newer and low mileage. I didn't try to jump it since I'm not sure exactly what the problem is since all three lights came on at once. It will crank but won't try to catch it. So I don't believe it's the battery.

The lights came on as a resuslt of the engine dieing with the key on. That was normal. If the engine won't start, you need to check for spark and fuel to the engine. Most likely one will be missing.

Here is a how to for both. Check them and let me know what you find. Most parts stores will lend or rent the gauge you need to check the vehicle.
