  • The inertia fuel shutoff switch is located behind the driver side scuff panel. An access hole is in the scuff panel to access and reset the fuel shutoff switch.
NOTE: In the reset position, the button can be pressed an additional 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) against a spring. This is a normal condition.
To reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch , press button on top of inertia fuel shutoff switch .

SOURCE: remove fuel pump from tank ford windstar 98

To gain access to the fuel pump, it is necessary to remove the fuel tank.

  1. Depressurize the fuel system and remove the fuel tank from the vehicle.
  2. Remove any dirt that has accumulated around the fuel pump module attaching flange, to prevent it from entering the tank during service.
  3. Turn the fuel pump module locking ring counterclockwise using a locking ring removal tool or a brass drift and remove the locking ring.
  4. Remove the fuel pump module.
  5. Remove the seal gasket and discard it.

To install:
  1. Put a light coating of grease on a new seal ring to hold it in place during assembly. Install it in fuel tank ring groove.
  2. Insert the fuel pump module into the fuel tank, then secure it in place with the locking ring. Tighten the ring until secure.
  3. Install the tank in the vehicle.
  4. Install a minimum of 10 gallons of fuel and check for leaks.
  5. Install a pressure gauge on the throttle body valve and turn the ignition ON for 3 seconds. Turn the key OFF , then repeat the key cycle five to ten times until the pressure gauge shows at least 30 psi.
  6. Check for fuel leaks at the fittings.
  7. Remove the pressure gauge.
  8. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.

SOURCE: 2000 ford windstar hard to start sometimes it will

Could be many things wrong at once.
Check your fuel pressure first, then check your spark plugs for spark, check your system for vacum leak.

The car starts and stays on for a 1 minute or 2 and then shuts down.

sounds like you may have a issue with a bad sensor somewhere. You need to diagnose this issue. Or look for a sensor that has come unplugged. If you can restart it that shows it is getting fuel.
If it would not start at all I would say the fuel pump.

Battery drainage on 99 ford windstar

Aftermarket radio set up to play when no key in ignition? Or CB? or aftermarket alarm system?

If so- those can put a phantom load on the battery when it is shut down.

If you do not have those installed, does your fuel pump continue to run? If so- try swapping the fuel pump relay if that does not remedy it, replace the oil presure switch it may be stuck closed.

Have change sparks and wires but he dont start i check reset button of fuel but dont start whta can be the problem

Could be a bad fuel pump if the fuel is not being delivered to the engine.
This happened to a 99 ford expedition we acquired where no fuel was being delivered, even though the reset button for the inertia switch was pushed or toggled.

I cant find the fuel reset button in the back right side of my 1999 ford windstar to see if it needs reset. IF I do find it what fuse can i check if its not the problem?

Fuel shut off switch is located in the back of the vehicle on right side where your jack is stored. You have to remove jack and pull out some plastic covers to expose fuel shut off switch.
First Check your fuel pressure on the fuel rail in the engine compartment. Could be your fuel pump malfunctioning.
