Re: 98 windstar can't communicate with computer

It is possible that you blew a fuse.
Looking at the wiring diagram for my '96, which should be close to what your '98 has.

In the engine compartment, the PCM power relay pulls power through Fuse "S" in the engine compartment power distribution box.....It is a 30 amp fuse.

The PCM gets power all the time from fuse "R" in the power distribution box, it is 15 amp.

The PCM relay coil is protected by Fuse 20 in the fuse panel above the driver's left foot.
It is 25 amp.

Data Link Connector.
Power is on Pin 16 Grey with Red stripe wire
Ground is on Pin 5 Black with White stripe wire
Data + is on Pin 2 Tan with Orange stripe wire
Data - is on Pin 10 Pink with Light Blue stripe wire
