Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the Ranger section. Did you check the main distribution box under the hood?

Look up under the dash to the right of the steering column. There is a box about 2x2x8 inches with a snap off black plastic cover. Inside you will find several relays - one is the PW Safety Relay and another is the PW Autodown Relay.

Power Window Relay location

Although I have a '96 Explorer, I believe the application is the same. I cannot for the life of me find the block where the relay(s) is/are located. Do I have to remove a panel somewhere? There is absloutely no room under the dash around the steering column/gas pedal area. There is a plastic panel that drops down from the top part of the instrument cluster. Behing that is a steel plate that could be removed but everywhere I've read in this formu concerning replacing the relay, it's an easy task. By the way, in a previous posting back in 2008 the Advance Auto part #R3177 listed at $7.19 has now skyrocketed to $12 and change.... Could it be supply & demand?

Any info I would really appreciate. Want to get this project car on the road!

What relay under the dash on a 2002 ford ranger is for the power windows
