Joe, thanks for your response. When I replaced the blown and scorched fuses, I didn't write down which ones were blown. I know I replaced 4 of them vertically on the far-left column as you look at the fuse panel. Numbers 13, 17, 21, 25, and 24 I changed (they look different than the others). I would have changed more but I ran out of fuses. The ones you highlighted in the attachments I will double check and let you know.
The gear selector on the transmission moves when the gear selector on the steering column is manipulated. This is the 2nd transmission I have installed since I got the ranger. The first one when put in gear didn't feel or sound like the gears engaged the same as the 2nd, that along with finding out about the fuses, and possible alternator issue since I have to jump the ranger every time I start it, lead me to find this website.
I completely understand since the transmission has electronic components it could be influenced by whatever caused the electrical issue. I'm hoping to find out what steps I need to take to diagnose and repair the issues. To me it's really odd when the original transmission worked fine except for in reverse, and I'm assuming the alternator was charging the system, I never had a need to find out until the issues with the two transmissions took me to the fuse panel. The previous owner had someone try to diagnose the transmission issue. When I bought the ranger the dash panel around the steering column was off and you could tell someone had been poking around inside.
