I am sorry to hear the fuse blew on your T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector 118366 installed on your 2002 Ford Windstar.
You can replace the fuse using a standard 10-amp fuse.
I recommend double checking the wiring connections from the install, making sure you hooked the power wire to the blue wire on the converter box, and that the ground is securely connected to clean, corrosion free metal.
Did the fuse blow as soon as the harness was connected to the... view full answer...
The item you selected, Adapter 4 Pole to 5 Pole, part # 20036, will give you a 5-way connector on your 2002 Ford Windstar.
The extra blue wire should be connected to the reverse light circuit. You will want to use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993 to locate this circuit. This wire will power the reverse lights when the vehicle is in reverse. You will want to connect to the wire that only has power when the vehicle reverse lights are illuminated, this will be the wire you will connect... view full answer...
Yes, you will need to run separate wiring for both connectors. You will need to install the wiring for the 4-pin connector, part # 118305, with its own power wire to the battery. Then, you will need to install the wiring for the 7-pin connector, part # 30717 with its own power wire. This is done to protect the vehicle power and wiring system.
You will want to check your owner manual of your vehicle to check and see when the vehicle was manufactured. If your 2003 Ford Windstar was manufactured... view full answer...
As long as you have the connectors with the green wire plugged into the passengers side and the one with the yellow wire plugged into the drivers side on your 2003 Ford Windstar then it would not matter where the black converter box ends up.
You will need to make sure that the white ground wire is attached to a clean bare metal surface with no paint or coating between the ring terminal and the metal surface. Also make sure that the power wire is attached to the positive battery terminal... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13085 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 1999 Ford Windstar. It will work and be compatible with the rear heat and AC lines that are present at the rear of your vehicle.
This hitch has towing capacities of 4,000 lbs total trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. If the weight of your boat and trailer are under these figures then this hitch would have the capacity needed.
I wasn't able to determine the towing capacities for your vehicle,... view full answer...
Without knowing what hitch you are referring to it's hard to say for certain yes or no, but I can tell you there is a very strong chance a hitch from a 1998 Ford Windstar would fit a 2003 Ford Windstar because all of the hitches we carry for the 2003 Ford Windstar fit model years 1995-2003.
For example, the Curt Hitch part # 13085 that you referenced fits 1995-2003 Ford Windstars. view full answer...
You are wanting to tap into the reverse light circuit on your Windstar for the reverse lights on a trailer or for the reverse lock-out on a boat trailer, is that correct?
The circuit feeding the reverse lights on this vehicle is pretty easy to access. Remove the tail light assembly on one side as if you were replacing a burned out bulb (being careful not to break the tab on the outboard side). The green connector in the assembly is for the reverse light, you can easily access the circuit there. view full answer...
The wire included with the Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # HM40615 is 12 Gauge. You can certainly lengthen the wire running to the battery using the same gauge wire and a crimp connector. We offer the wire by the foot as part # 12-1-1 and heat shrink butt connectors as part # DW05745-5.
I've linked to installation instructions for you. view full answer...
When choosing a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the towing set up. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the trailer.
Tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. If we go by the max gross trailer weight you mentioned, 3,036 pounds, the tongue weight would be 303 pounds to 455 pounds.
For this range I recommend... view full answer...

Adding a transmission cooler is an excellent way to protect and prolong the life of your transmission for little cost. A transmission cooler is not a vehicle specific item. Since a transmission cannot be over cooled, we recommend choosing the largest and most efficient cooler that will fit in the available space. Since the ideal spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front of the radiator and AC condenser, you will need to measure that area to determine how much room you... view full answer...
In order to add a 5-Way to your 1996 Ford Windstar you can use the wiring harness that you have referenced, # C55346, and the 4 to 5-Way adapter you mentioned, # 20036. After you have installed the 4-Way, see instructions link provided, you will plug the 4-Way connector into the appropriate connector on the adapter.
The extra blue wire will connect to the reverse light circuit on the van. Normally this adapter is used from hydraulic surge couplers that have an electric lockout feature.... view full answer...
If you try to splice a simple 4-way connector to your 2003 Ford Windstar you will not get proper taillight function and will cause electrical problems with the vehicle if you hook up a trailer. At the very least you will blow fuses and you could cause a problem with the vehicles computerized electronics.
Your Windstar is equipped with a different system for taillights than most other vehicles and needs a Low Side Switching Converter for the taillights to function properly. The converter... view full answer...
Yes, the Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains # TC1038 that you referenced have been confirmed as a fit for your 215/70R15 tire size. You will need to consult the owners manual of your 1998 Ford Windstar to see if there are any restrictions on snow chain usage. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 75650 does indeed have the hole for the j-pin. The J-Pin hole is a great feature as you might know, as you can use a J-Pin to eliminate rattles caused by the clearance needed between the hitch and any ball mount or other accessory like a bike rack that mounts in the receiver.
Unfortunately, the J-Pin is no longer available and that smaller hole is not used at all.

I can tell you how to measure to determine how much ground clearance you will have with the Curt hitch # 13085 installed on your 2002 Ford Windstar. First, take a look at the installation instructions I have linked for you to see the installation location on the van.
If you measure from the bottom of the frame at the rear most attachment point down 6-3/8 inches, that will be where the bottom of the receiver will be. When parked on level ground, measure up from the ground to this point... view full answer...
To install tracks in the grooves on the roof of your 2002 Windstar you will have to have a custom installation done. I checked with my contacts at Thule and Yakima and they do not offer a custom fit track for your vehicle at this time. The only option to add the tracks is a local dealer.
If you want a roof rack without tracks, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This system uses vacuum cups to adhere to the roof of your van. Each cup has a 210 lb pull strength... view full answer...
The first things to check are the On/Off switch on your Fogatti water heater, like part # LSB64FR, and the fuse located below the switch. If the switch is on and the fuse looks good then you need to verify that you have 12V power actually getting to the water heater, which can be done using a circuit tester # PTW2993. If you don't have power to the unit then you need to make sure you're getting 12V power, any fuses or breakers are in good shape, and that the wiring isn't damaged anywhere.
