In order to deactivate the interior lights, turn the dimmer scroll-wheel either all the way down
This allows for having the doors open and avoid running the battery down.
I was pretty excited when I found this little tidbit in the Owners Manual while waiting for my wife to finish shopping...
But wait!
What if the lights are staying on all the time?
Now that's a different matter... Most likely a result of the very common false door ajar signal problem with this era Ford products.
Luckily the problem is pretty easily fixed.
See "Related Questions" below a comprehensive approach to dealing with the door ajar problem.
Sounds like normal operations / behavior.
the same thing happens to mine........just turn the interior light switch of......it works
Interesting question - my 2001 SEL does not have daytime running lights, and I'm not aware that Ford offered them.
Yes. The mirror on the 2001 Ford Windstar is the same mirror found on the 1999 Ford Windstar. They are interchangeable.
Do you have a 3.8 engine for a 2001 Windstar Ford Van?
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.
The 2001 Windstar is rated at 200hp
The 2001 3.8L Ford Windstar has a timing chain, not a belt.
There is no carburetor on a 2001 Ford Windstar engine because the engine is fuel injected
my 2001 ford windstar is still overheating even though i changed out the thermostat. what could it be?
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.
