Best Answer

The Windstar has a position on the light dimmer scroll-wheel that turns the interior lights off, even with the doors open.

Great for at the picnic, tailgate party, cleaning the car, etc, to keep from killing the battery.

Make sure the dimmer switch scroll wheel is not all the way up (or is all the way down?)

Also - If you have a malfunctioning "door ajar" switch, after some time, the Windstar will deactivate the interior lights. Fix the door ajar warning and the lights will resume normal functions.

The lights on your 1999 ford windstar lx will not go off?

If the lights that won't go off are the interior lights, then it could be a symptom of a stuck 'door ajar' switch/sensor. In that case, see "Related Questions" below for more discussion, fixes, and permanent repairs on the door ajar problem.

Do they make a windstar with only one side sliding door?

Ford was rather late in the mini-van game when they added the second sliding door in 1999, and continued it to the end of the Windstar name in 2003. Trivia Tidbit: The successor to the Windstar name was the "Freestar" and coincided with the introduction of the twin Mercury Monterey. I do not believe any single side door Windstar was offered after 1998.

Will a driver's door off of a 1995 windstar fit on a 1998 windstar gl?

Not likely to fit - Ford stretched the driver's door in 1998 in a partial response to Chrysler's introduction of the driver side rear door. (prior to the Windstar getting one in 1999). Check with a local auto salvage yard, or maybe even a body shop - 2 good sources of information on parts interchangeability.
