My 2001 does that when the battery is drained and needing charging.
The cornering lights are tied in with the turn signals - they'll come on automatically IF the turn signal is used.
rear indcater lights very dim but ok when hazzards are on
The hazard lights get their power from the battery so if the battery is dead they will not work.
One thing that will cause this is when a door-ajar warning goes without fixing.My Windstar rear hatch showed as ajar for quite some time - after a period, this caused the interior lights to be disabled.Flooding the hatch latch mechanisms with spray lubricant, i.e., WD-40, cleared the false ajar warning, and the interior lights automatically starting working again.See "Related Questions" below for more
you do not, they are cornering lights and turn on with the single lights
Check the bulbs Check the flasher
why don't any of my running lights work
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.
It sounds as if there is a problem with the rear electronics module in the Ford Windstar. This controls the front and rear lights and it is located in the back in the cubby with the jack.
automatically manually
Im assuming these turn of after startup. When the alternator isn't running, these lights automatically come on. Your alternator doesn't start running until your car is running, because it is run by a belt from your engine. So, if your lights stay on after startup, either you have a snapped alternator belt or your alternator is buggered. We had our alternator belt snap the other day while we were driving down a hill, it was quite a scary experience as we didn't know what was going on and in automatics the breaks barely work without the alternater running.
