I had a similar problem in my 1998 windstar including emergency entry alarm going off problems after a battery ran extra low on me and I recharged the battery. Ididn't have the remote with me and I was only able to cure it after going through the ignition reset routine the problem corrected itself. There may also be a fuseable link that has gone bad or an open (broken wire) in the wireing harness. I've seen both conditions cause the same to happen in other types of vehicles. Also have you checked the fuses beyond just a visual inspection. art
possible electric system short
Start small. Check your fuses.
battery is low or almost dead
Start with new fuses...
Either the throtle cable is hanging or the idle control solonoid is not working
Turn signals not working nor back up lights. However the head lights are working and rear lights are also working
Start with checking the fuses.
First of all is the lights working in the car? (over head lights or any kind of lights) If your not getting anything at all (no lights) then you should check the battery. If the lights are working then I would check your starter. Most of the time if you take the battery somewhere to get checked they will do it for free. So I would start there. Did you try to get a jump to see if that would start it? Hope this helped some.
Start 2001 winstar with no key
Most liley cause is an ignition off drow on the battery. Something is staying on when you shut the van off. Check dome lights, glove box lights, etc.
It's common on most Ford's for the light switch to burn out on most models. The newer vehicles have been fixed but that's where you could start.
you have a bulb out. go buy a new one and they will start working
