Drill out the rivets around the particle board...

remove the door handle... its a c- clip - hook it with a bent paper clip.

once the panel is down, you will see a spring coming from by the door handle....

hooked to a small hole drilled in the door frame.

hold it in one hand and work the lock stem. if it moves counter to you stem pull... you found it!

disconnect that spring.

find some large screws to hold the panel back up...

re-hook the c-clip on the door handle.

and don't worry about locking your keys in the cargo area again.

no - every Windstar came with at least 1 side door (1995-1998) and 2 side doors 1999-2003 - all along with the rear hatch.


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.


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.


F150 1998 The power door locks failed but the unlock still works?

Your 1998 F150 has 3 relays for your power door locks : an all unlock relay / a driver unlock relay / and an ALL LOCK RELAY I'm guessing that the ALL LOCK RELAY has failed I'm sorry but I haven't found the location of the power lock/unlock relays on your F150 yet ( does anyone know the location of the power door lock / unlock relays on a 1998 F150 ? )

Will a Windshield for a 1995 Windstar fit a 1998 Windstar?

Very likely the 1995 windshield will fit the 1998 model. There were very little changes in this first 'generation' of Windstars - with the notable exception of the drivers door (was stretched out longer in 98) See "Related Questions" below for more
