Accessory Delay Relay
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer and 1997 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Remove accessory delay relay, from relay module located behind center of instrument panel. Check continuity using an ohmmeter. Continuity should exist between relay terminals No. 85 and 86, and also between terminal No. 30 and terminal 87A. See Fig 1 . Using fused jumper wires, connect battery terminals to relay terminals No. 85 and 86. Continuity should now exist between relay terminals No. 30 and 87. Replace relay if continuity is not as specified.
