Re: 99 winstar engine ping

The '99 has two fuse-relay boxes. One is near the drivers left foot. The other is underhood near the battery.

There is a component lay-out of each in the glove box manual.

Open up the box under-hood. The box cover hinges on front and latches on the rear edge. The cover can be stubborn to remove...I find it easier to press down on its center while lifting on the latch end.

Inside you will see about a dozen black box relays. Two different sizes/part-numbers. These things cost about $10 each. They plug in to the bases ... just like the fuses.... but can be difficult to remove for the first time. Grab the top of the relay with some pliers and tug away. Some WD40 will help the removal ...but follow up with grease on the base before replacing relay ... I like silicone connector grease.

The "fuel pump relay" is #207.

Please don't swap used relays around.. that will cause you confusion. Buy new relays for replacement. Multilate the old relays as you remove them to keep from reusing by mistake.
