Put the key in the ignition, start the van and press the remote starter button on the remote. Problem solved. This helped us after we had this problem after recharging our dead van battery.
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft feature. The cause for some vehicles system engaging is something as simple as dirt on the key, hitting the wrong pin, and the car not being in Park.
This is just to deter theft. Whether or not your car came with an optional anti-theft system, the light will still be there, simulating a anti-theft system. It's just a light-emitting diode, so it doesn't have enough draw to drain the battery.
It means that the theft computer has detected a malfunction and set a trouble code.
That depends on when it's blinking. If it's blinking rapidly when you turn the key on, there is a problem in the anti-theft, and the truck probably won't start. If it's blinking every 3 seconds when the key is off, that is a normal condition. It's telling you that the system is armed and ready.
Not exactly sure on the Windstar, but recently had the same question for a Contour: try pulling on the lightswitch. Note: the fog lights on the Contour can only be turned on when the headlights are on.
Interesting question - my 2001 SEL does not have daytime running lights, and I'm not aware that Ford offered them.
The 2001 Windstar is rated at 200hp
This sure sounds like the lights are being triggered by the door ajar problem that is so common with Windstars.See "Related Questions" below for more
My 2001 does that when the battery is drained and needing charging.
The headlights of a Ford Windstar may have problems going on if they are burnt out or if there is a wiring problem. Blowing a headlight fuse will also lead to both lights not working.
The 2001 Windstar has no radiator cap. It has an antifreeze bottle.
Yes. The mirror on the 2001 Ford Windstar is the same mirror found on the 1999 Ford Windstar. They are interchangeable.
