Re: 1999 Windstar Won't Start 3.8L V6

Problem solved - sort of , for now!!

After hours of troubleshooting, forum searches (including here), I discovered that my problem was a blown fuel pump fuse - fuse location #5 in the engine compartment high current fuse/relay box.

As soon as I replaced this 15 amp fuse, it started right up!

Prior to discovering the blown fuse, I had my hopes on the fuel pump relay being bad - which it wasn't.

Now the bad news is I know there's something bad going on causing the fuel pump fuse to blow and I likely will blow another fuse soon and have the same problem

But for now, this evening, I feel good that I got it started.

Tomorrow I will buy a supply of 15 amp fuses until I fix the problem for good - probably heading for a new fuel pump I imagine.
