I also have a 95 Windstar. I have replaced mine twice already. You have an electronic speedometor. The last one I replaced cost roughly $300 dollars and didnt last. Now the speedo bounces all over the place. I use the tach for speed indication mostly now. I replaced the last one at 29,000 miles. I currently have roughly 190,000 on van now. A2: They are mechanical. The reason they jump is because the cable gets dry and corroded. I have fixed several, all high mileage. Keep searching I wrote a little more detailed description in another thread for a 96.
How to replace spedo cable f250
they don't have speedo "cables". their all electric.
electronic
You could disconnect the cable down at the transmission, drive it around, and see if the noise has quit. Some cars don't have a cable-the speedo is electronic, so then you might have a vacuum leak somewhere under the dash.
If it is like my 94, there is no cable, it is electronic. Run1
I have talked wth 4 other people who own the 96 windstar and theirs all do it too...Just another ford mess up !!! A2: I had a 95 that did it and I pulled the speedo head out and lubed the cable. This solved the problem. Once you have the head removed you can pull the internal cable out lube it and reinstall. Of course mine was a mechanical speedo. I am not sure on a 96 but I think it is manual also. Where the cable goes through the firewall near the brake master cylinder the cable has a place you can separate it by unscrewing a connector. Without doing this it is virtually impossible to remove the head. Believe me I tried before I figured that out. Then it was easy. Good luck. MGL
No. The speed sensor is located on the transmission, and is what drives the speedometer cable, which drives the speedo head. The speedo head is another name for the the speedometer, which is the display gauge that you see while sitting in the car.
cable could be loose or faulty speedo..
