1999 windstar passenger window won't go up or down all fuses ok All door window switches seem ok?
Use a circuit tester to test the switches. You can test both switches from the right side door. Gently pry the plate holding the switch up and out of the door with a flat blade or screwdriver. There are several wires coming out of the switch. Five large gauge wires control the motor. The center wire is hot. Two of the other wires come from the left hand switch and the remaining two go to the motor. Find a good ground. (I used one from the door lock switch). Test each of the five wires. One wire is hot when pressing the UP button on either right or left door (Check both sides). One wire will show hot when pressing DOWN button on either door. These are the wires that go to the motor. If you have power here you will have to trace those wires to the motor.
Remove the door panel: Two screws inset in door handle. One screw under plastic cover on top front of door panel. Two screws on bottom of door panel. Remove cover around door latch handle. Pull the panel straight up.
For me: power was going to the motor. When i tapped on motor it started working!! Probably temporary fix.
Now to find out how to remove motor!!
What is required to add keyless entry to a 2003 Honda CRV LX?
I have a 2002 and I don't think the 2003 is much different. It's the easiest thing in the world to install and the kit was only around $80 and that was air shipped from japan. You just get a little green module about the size of a pager and 2 remotes in a box. In the center console in the dash, where the caddy is, that little pocket actually comes out after removing a few screws to reveal the wiring of the car behind it. (The instruction manual that comes with the kit has pictures of how to do this.) You simply clip the module to a matching colored plug, replace the console panel and your done. I used the manufacturers kit to do this and it took me about 15 minutes total to complete (and I'm a girl). I'm not sure it's the same with an aftermarket kit. Good Luck!

How do you bleed the brakes on a Ford Windstar with ABS?
I spent 3 days trying to bleed it myself. I finally found that with my Traction Control there is a pump. So you can not bleed if the pump is not working. The solution: Let the engine run during the whole procedure. You then get an incredible pression in the pipes. Oil is coming out for 1 foot long.
This is probably valid for most Ford Windstar, Aerostar, Freestar and many other Traction control cars from Ford.
How do you replace transmission remove and install on a 1979 corvette 350 turbo?
Like I said earlier, I put the vehicle on my lift, remove all retaining hardware, and place a trans. jack under the unit and let it down............i have no idea how you will do it.
Short answer- no. The two vans look similar, but virtually nothing interchanges between these two vehicles and that includes the seats.
What causes oil to get inside the coolant?
A leaking head gasket is is most likely cause, could also be cracked head or cracked block. A leak in the trans cooler which is located in the radiator would allow trans fluid into cooling system.
What is a tcc sensor on a 1997 Mercury Tracer and where is it located?
A TCC is not a sensor. TCC stands for Torque Converter Control. It is found in transmissions that have a torque converter lockup feature, and it is controlled by a solenoid in the valve body, which is inside the transmission. If your car has an ATX transmission, it doesn't have TCC. If it is a 4EAT transmission, then it could have TCC.
You may mean TSS which stands for Tubine Speed Sensor, which, of course, is a sensor. It would only be found on a 4EAT transmission, and it would be somewhere on the main body of the transmission, on the top, toward the left side.
What is the spark plug gap for a 1992 Eagle Talon turbo?
Chrysler recommends using Champion spark plugs and gapping at 0.35 (in thousandths of an inch).
Power steering leaking out of a 1993 Lumina?
Your leak could come from any part in the system ,if your serp belt is oil soaked ,the most common cause is the output shaft seal behind the pulley on the pump. Another common leak located underneath the vehicle could be the return line which runs from the pump to the front frame rail the to the rack (very common for leaking) Also either pressure line or rack could be leaking .
How do you get the dome light and the Door Ajar light to go off on a 2001 Mazda B400?
OK on the Mazda B4000, make sure the seat belts are retracted and the ends on the doors are facing up. If they are not up, it will cause the rear doors to not close all the way and the stupid light stays on! you can also use wD40 and spray the locking mechanisms ( all 4 doors) John
Ford AX4N No Reverse or Manual first?
Tony O^Ng CO.p here: I didn't understand the profile setup so I kind of skipped that, but here it tis, off the cuff. I have three Taurus's , 91 sedan, 91 SW, 96 GL and a 91 Sable all with 3.0 engine. I'm an AV8'er and have been a fixed-wing and rotor-wing mechanic, so I'm acquainted with how to turn a wrench. My DOB is 07-02-1927 that makes me be 81 next month. I continue to work for the USAF in their EW-Avionics Shop. I like what I do. I have a CGS Hawk Classic Ultra-Lite and a 2300 foot airstrip on my farm. I'm a Gun collector and Deer hunter. I didn't do too good on the farm but I got two Bucks with my Taurus last year. The '96 is the one that I'm having trouble with, the AX4N transmission. Shifts fine in Drive and Overdrive, but no Reverse or Manual 1st gear. I've checked all the solenoids, they are working (although the reverse gear is non-electric) I had both pans off, no metal chips or trash. Still doesn't work. Can anyone help me? Cheers, Tony O^Ng CO.p

How do you replace a coolant bypass line that is leaking above the thermostat on a Ford Windstar?
Just had this issue on my 1999 Ford Windstar (3.8L). In my instance it turned out to be a pinhole in the crossover coolant tube that rises up out of the lower intake manifold on the driver-side of the engine (above the thermostat housing and below the MAF) and shoots off at a 90 degree angle across to the passenger side.
This tube is nearly impossible to see until you remove the upper/lower air intake (large black clamshell looking thing) from the lower manifold. Trust me - it is there.
Project details:
You will need to remove the: Neg. battery cable, various electrical and vacuum connections, the windshield wipers and cowl assembly, air cleaner assembly, throttle cables, upper/lower air intake, and of course the tube itself.
While it sounds like it is a pretty difficult project , it was not too bad really.
Just get a Haynes manual for your Windstar (about $20 at most auto parts stores) and read up on how to remove the upper/lower air intake.
It really mentions nothing about the tube in particular though. It is all relatively light work. The largest tool I used was the 15mm wrench to remove the windshield wipers :-)
Tools/Parts:
A set of small 1/4" deepwell sockets, and ratchet made the work go quickly. You will also need a straight screwdriver and some pliers for loosening/removing various hose clamps. I just used a med. sized adjustable wrench for the wipers.
The gaskets on the upper/lower air intake were reusable, and the tube I had welded up by a friend (it is about $55-$75 at the dealer if you have no welding friends).
If you repair your old tube, be sure to replace the o-ring on it while you are in there. My dealer actually *gave* me a new one, so my total cost for the project was a few hours of my time and $0.00 for parts (already had the manual).
AnswerOn my 2002 Windstar, first you disconnect the 2 clamped hoses, then unbolt the 2 bolts,(one on the water pump and one hidden further down behind coolant tubes)finally you pry up the bypass tube with flathead gently from the water pump. may take a while to work it out once loose.Where to buy: Your local ford dealership parts department
Bypass HoseHaving just changed mine yesterday, I can tell you that I removed the fan shroud, top hose from the radiator, fan from the water pump (this takes a large adjustable wrench as the fan clutch is threaded onto the end of the water pump shaft), serpentine belt, and idler pulley. I then disconnected the battery cables, ac compressor from it's mounting bracket (unplug the electrical connector but don't remove the ac hoses, just pull the unit out of the way), heater hose from the right side of the water pump, and alternator/ac mounting bracket from the engine (pull this out of the way also). You can then change the bypass hose on top of the water pump. Be sure not to pinch the wires going the ignition coil (if mounted to the front of the passenger side cylinder head) as I did this and caused a short unknowingly. All this trouble for a $1.99 hose. :) AnswerAs a temporary fix try taking a bigger piece of hose, slitting it in half and placing it over the hole. Next take a hose clamp and place it over the part with the hole and the rubber hose and tighten it down. It might take two or three hose clamps. This wont be perfect, but will allow you to drive it until you get replacement piece or feel like messing with it. Hope this helps.
I don't know what it is called but I had to replace one due to a pin hole worn in the bend.
Not too complex, don't need to remove the pump, need long skinny arms and large hands, otherwise is slow going. Recommend hose clamp pliers. I pulled off the front hose at the water pump first, then the one to the recovery tank, un-boltedat water pump and power steering pump, popped it out of the water pump(pry with large screw driver under flange with right hand and tug tube with left hand), rearranged the hoses temporarily for easier access to the last clamp. There was a tube mounted on a bracket on the PS pump that I had to pop off to remove the ty tube once disconnected. Installation is easier than the removal. Hope this helps.
What spark plug is used in a 2000 Windstar lx?
Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information ( VECI ) decal
located in the front of the engine compartment ( it will show the
type of spark plugs used and the spark plug gap )
There is an electronic component attached to the outside of your transmission called the PNP (Park Neutral Position) switch. This switch prevents the car from being started while in drive position. There is also a shifter lock mechanism and computer that kicked in when you lost power. This set of components work together to protect the engine, transmission and anyone nearby or working on the car - so they don't get ran over.
