1998 Eddie Bauer
So I just bought a 98 eddie bauer tonight here's a list of odd things I need help diagnosing! Wipers arent working, Interior Lights not working (at all even on switch), Moonroof not working, Windows can be rolled down without key in ignition long after truck is turned off (which helps because the drivers door doesnt open from inside LOL),says air ride service also... The truck sounds like a pos lol it's actually a decent truck hubby and I looked at tons of cars and I drove this one and liked it so I was sold! Runs great and interior is mint other than the rear bumper being a lil raggedy which will be replaced! any help is MUCH appreciated haha thanks in advance everyone!!

Checking fuses and relays under the kick panel in the front is a good place to start with your electrical issues.

I second this. Also you may want to invest in a haynes, or chilton manual, and a decent multi meter. If you need any circuit diagram I have acess to All Data, and Shopkey5, so I may be able to help you out.
 






I would suggest a factory wiring manual off eBay. Whole set really, you can get a good Ford manual set for ~$50 usually. Invaluable tool when you're learning these rigs.

Well to my great surprise lol was a fuse! =) YAY! can't say I wasnt thrilled to find that out! Now all I gotta do is replace the rusty hatch and fix the drivers door handle and that bad girl is near perfect well.. in my eyes I guess =) i'm SO pleased with her she drives great!! runs perfect!! 16mpg LOL which im hoping I can squeeze maybe 19-20mpg if I tune her up fresh and put a decent intake on it with one of those lame tornado type things! =) I wanna do the tt & rear leaf to raise it up just a bit and throw some 31's on her MAYBE 32's =D if hubby permits! hehe
