This answer refers to the "BRAKE" warning light -
Hi there I have a 2000 Windstar LX, I had the same symbol on my van its a red light and its located in the center of the speedometer. A mechanic i spoke to told me mine had something to do with my brakes and i should "take it in right away", But before I spent any money at the Ford Garage I checked the brake fluid level , and although It seemed ok I added some ( what a hassle to try and get it in the master cylinder, use a funnel with a long skinny neck) anyway i added about 100ml ... and no more light. Best of luck ......Denise
The symbol is supposed to look like a cutaway view of a tire (look closely and you'll see the tire treads at the bottom of the "U"). It indicates a low tire pressure condition.
The Windstar has a sensor that monitors wheel speed. If a tire is under-inflated, it will naturally rotate at a different speed than the other tires. This causes the warning light to light.
The light also may come on if you have recently replaced a tire. There is a reset button at the base of the steering column, next to the interior light/dashboard light dimmer switch. While the vehicle is moving, press and hold it for 3 seconds to reset.
NOTE - All the dashboard symbols are illustrated and explained in the Owners Manual - see "Related Questions" for free, downloadable copies of Owners Manuals
