Re: '99 Electrical Problem--Help Needed

There's some good stuff above in this string.

In '99 the Windstar circuitry got really "detailed" ( I didn't want to say "complicated"). You really need a roadmap for some problems. You can order a circuit book from Helminc.com for $50 or less ... worth the money. Part number FCS-12255-99.

In the '99 glove box manual, fuse #6 is mentioned. Its in a special holder that makes it easy to disconnect without fully removing it. This fuse eliminates elect loads that you can do without until you find your problem.

The coil of the fuel pump relay gets a constant positive 12 volts, ... but the ground side of the coil is switched by the PCM (gets hairy don't it?). Therefore, the PCM power relay may be causing the fuel pump issue.

And let's not forget the old ignition switch. It's now a black electrical box low down on the steering column. When it starts failing, weird things can happen. Had to replace mine at about 70 kmiles.
