* Under the hood in the fuse box: This is the more common location. Look for a fuse box (often near the battery) and check the diagram on the inside of the fuse box lid. The relay might be labeled clearly or you might need to trace the wiring diagram to find it.
* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box (under the dash): This is less common but possible. Again, consult the diagram on the inside of the fuse box lid.
To find it definitively:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual should have a diagram showing the location of all relays and fuses.
2. Use a wiring diagram: You can find wiring diagrams online (often on forums dedicated to Ford Rangers) or purchase a repair manual. These diagrams will show the relay's location and circuit path.
3. Visual inspection (with caution): If you're comfortable working on cars, carefully trace the wires leading to the blower motor. These wires will lead you to the relay. Be cautious near electrical components and ensure the vehicle is turned off.
Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical components in your vehicle.
