* Under the hood in the power distribution box (fuse box): This is the most common location. The power distribution box is usually located near the battery. The relay itself might be labeled, or you may need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to identify it.
* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box: Less common, but possible. This fuse box is usually located under the dashboard, often on the driver's side. Again, you'll need your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to pinpoint the correct relay.
To find it:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best starting point. It should have a diagram showing the location of all relays and fuses.
2. Look for a diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover: Often, the covers themselves have a diagram showing the location and function of each component.
3. Use a wiring diagram: If you can't find it in the manual or on the cover, a wiring diagram specific to your 1995 Ford Ranger will show you the location of the fuel pump relay. These can be found online through various automotive repair websites.
4. If all else fails, a mechanic or auto parts store can help. They have access to wiring diagrams and can often quickly locate the relay.
Remember to turn off the ignition before attempting to locate or replace the relay.
