I went over those instructions for the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, # 118243, and other than the statement that they are located in the Power Distribution box, you are correct; it does not state specifically where the relays need to go. The information should be in your 1999 Ford F-250 owners manual.

I did a little research and found the locations. The Trailer Tow Backup Lamp Relay is position #38 in the power distribution box. The Trailer Tow Charge is position # 39 in the power distribution box. They may not be on the main part of the power distribution box but they will be near by.
