Ford Windstar GL

I'ts very hard and it took a day but I know what to do. You need to remove the heat shield that is located behind the front wheel on the passanger side of the car. after you remove that you haft to drop the exaust starting from back to front the sensor is mounted on the top of the transmission good luck with reaching or laocating it that's what took me all day. When you do you need to unplud the wire and remove 1 bolt. That's about it if you have any Questins you can email me at feliciti927@yahoo.com I have a book on the same vehicle.

Clean or replace sensors near doors,if its anything like a 95,the lights will go off in 45 minutes.Do what I did to my 95,take middle dome lightbulb out so its not too visible for people to see.The other lights will go off eventually.

located on the transaxle.

I experienced the same problem with my ford. After checking out a couple things i discovered during a tire rotation that i had a bent rim. These happen when you hit potholes. I was able to replace the rim with a re-tooled one (saved me about $100) and the vibration immediately stopped. The bend wasn't really visable to me but after it was off the wheel i could see it. You should stop by your local tire place and get it checked out.

I'm having the same issue as you are. Reshutting...uh...nearly slamming the doors multiple times eventually fixed it. However the problem is back every day and now the rear interior light won't shut off. All the doors are shut and there is nothing blocking them. I'm still searching for an answer. 1997 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 L could be that the rear hatch may not be closed completely, i have had the same thing happen on my 1998

It is located center dash on the floorboard

It is the box with the four screws under the duratec labled black casing right in front of the intake manifold. There is a black cable comming from it.

There is a fault with your Anti lock braking system, if you hit the brakes hard the wheels will skid rather than automatically cut in and out. Its worth getting to the garage ASAP as its a very important crash prevention mechanism.

good question. mine is too. sometimes i see it slamming over all the way to the left on empty, then the light comes on chimes ring. and if you have to go into the tank to fix it, or its going to cost me more money, guess what? it's staying broke. my fix so far is that i reset the odometer after i fill up. after a couple hundred miles, time for another re-fill. good question. mine is too. sometimes i see it slamming over all the way to the left on empty, then the light comes on chimes ring. and if you have to go into the tank to fix it, or its going to cost me more money, guess what? it's staying broke. my fix so far is that i reset the odometer after i fill up. after a couple hundred miles, time for another re-fill. Check the ground wire on the gas tank.

Hi! It can be a difficult task but here is a nice guide to start with pictures and insturctions:

in fuse box under dash at drs left knee and or in fuse box in engine compartment...

note:danger, do not test these with basic test lights, may damage pcm/ecu

take to Nissan or exp import tech.....good luck

i dont know whwere is the tachometer wire of 2001 ford windstar

check the main relay under dash of driver side.it is a gray relay.listen or feel if it clicks when you turn the key on.

The first thing to try is to turn steering wheel left and right while trying to turn the key. If the key was turned off and the steering wheel was in a turned posistion, there could be pressure on the wheel and that stops the key from turning-- it will feel locked and jammed. Release preassure from key by turning wheel each way while turning key.

If you have continuity from the DLC back to the PCM on all the pins that it should, and the PCM has power and ground everywhere it is supposed to, you probably need a PCM. Before I throw a PCM at it though, I would make extra sure that you have checked all of the stuff that I spoke of first. Remeber the PCM will have more than one power and more than one ground input.

It could be a faulty Intake Air Control valve, a vacumm leak, or a faulty transmission torque converter lock up slenoid. The most likely are the first two I listed.

Differnct Respondent: I'm a 1998 Windstar owner and had a similar problem. Van would stall out occasionally following stop. Took it to dealer and they did some sort of clean out of the air intake cavity and fuel injectors. I don't recall exactly but cost was prbably less than $200 and Van no longer stalls out

Temperature control in most Ford vehicles these days is through the use of a "temperature blend door" mechanism. This door/flapper adjusts the amount of air that passes through the heater core that is then mixed into the air blown into the cabin.

This door is moved by a small actuator motor - which in the case of Windstars, is a very common failure point.

I had the same problem with my t&c, if you have the digital dash look and see if the odometer lights up when cranking. if not i swift pound on the dash right above the gauges usually works. (I found that on another help site and it worked for me)

forget about it --if it broke off in the dipstick tube it has fallen into the oil pan - there is no way it will get past the oil filter screen in the pan (daddmac) GFish: Tack weld a nut onto the end of the dipstick tube, Than turn the tube with a ratchet, until it either comes out, or collapses, you may choose to used either PB lubricant during this procedure, or take a can of compressed air ( computer keyboard cleaner ) and carefully spray the stuck part while holding the can upside down.( This deep freezes the part to well below sub zero temperature.)

Make sure you have a good ground

My own experience is that the peeling is the clearcoat layer of paint. Once it starts, there really isn't much to do beside a re-paint job.

Waxing over it in the meantime provides some modest cosmetic improvement, but it won't last long.

Dodge uses what is called a "Powertrain Control Module" or PCM this is located on the PASSENGER SIDE inner fender just behind the air box where your air filter is. It will be aluminum colored and looks like a flat box.

If the temperature cannot be changed for any of the direction settings, e.g., defrost, vents, floor, then the problem is very likely to be the blend door actuator motor.
