You dont understand the meaning of the overdrive button in a 98 ford windstar when is it on or off?

Overdrive affects the transmission and is used only for highway travel speeds AND it effectively reduces the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) by making the transmission use 'higher' gearing and is supposed to increase MPG (eg., motor doesn't have to work as hard as normal setting and therefore reduces the 'load' on the motor) It should not be used for anything except highway travel/speeds as at lower speeds it will actually increase the 'work' the engine has to perform and return slower response and lower MPG. Many auto mfg's build in a RPM limit and the auto will not engage OD if the proper conditions are not reached. This info will be in the users manual or you can ask the dealer service dept mgr.

Where are the speed sensor and EGR valve on a 1997 Nissan pickup?

speed sensor is located on the drivers side of the transmission about 10-12' from the very rearmost point. it appears as a barrel or cylinder shaped object about 1 inch around and 1 1/2 inch long or so with 2 wires coming out and about a foot of wire before a plastic plug in connector. it is held in place by 1 bolt which uses a 10 mm socket to remove it

How do you change the throttle position sensor on a 1995 Saturn SL-2?

this opperation is quite simple. the sensor is located on the back of the throttle body. It is held on by two Torx type screws. T15 i believe is the correct size if i am not mistaken. It may be easier to access the unit by removing the throttle body itself. the throttle body is held on by two 13mm bolts. the entire process should take no more then 15 minuites.

Why does a 1995 Jimmy idle fine but lose power on acceleration and won't go over 10 mph you can also smell gas?

My guess it you have a 4.3 motor. These were common for a poppit valve problem and replacement of the Fuel injector system (for lack of the real name). I usually refer to it as the octopus because of its shape. A pricey little animal. Should get it diagnosed to verify by a shop that knows their dirt.

Why is there a ticking sound coming out of the dash and your heat wont work?

The part you are looking for is a blend motor. It is made of plastic . The gears teeth are broken or missing. This part moves a flap from normal cold air to the heated air. Only get heat when blend motor is engaged.

How to fix a Windstar that is stuck in park - shift lever will not release?

Brake Shift Interlock Fuse

1995-1998

  • #7 - Brake shift interlock
  • #21 - Shift-lock actuator(?)

1999-2003 - #11


NEUTRAL SAFTEY SWITCH OR BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH(located behind the brake pedal) tells shifter that you have the brake on to come out of park.

it is the stop light switch located on the break pedal arm you can get it at the parts store for around 15-30 dollars and you should need minimal tools if any to replace it http://www.hometeammotorsports.org/

This is most likely to be caused by a problem with the brake switch mounted to the brake pedal.

Easy thing to check and replace - easy in that it's accessible and only 1 or 2 small mounting bolts.

Check to see if your brake lights are working,if you have no current for brake lights you will have no current to shifter release solenoid.Could be just a blown fuse,if that's not it there could be a problem with wiring or the release solenoid itself.

Answer

Start by checking your brake lights to see if they work. If they don't work, call the dealer and see if your vehicle has a recall for the brake light switch showing up on their OASIS( Ford term for Online Automotive Service Information System). If there is a recall, guess what? You get a free tow and fix at your friendly local Ford dealer! Whether or not there is a recall, it doe's sound like you need a brake light switch and connector pigtail replacement.

Answer

Make sure brake lights are working--if fuse blown or bad switch interock will not release

Answer

First, make sure you're pressing the brake firmly when you try to push the shift button. If that's not working, check the brake pedal switch and the relay under the shift assembly.





First check to see if you have brake lights, if no brake lights you have a bad shift interlock switch,it is a small black box located behind your brake pedal.It's about $45.00 from the dealership. I keep a spare in my van.





A fuse can cause car to be stuck in park. try this.
turn ignition switch on but do not start engine. then put transmission in neutral. then start engine. now try putting in gear. if this works,check your fuses.sometimes after doing this the car can be put in park and will work.doing this will sometimes just reset the switch

Does the 1998 ford Windstar have a distributor?

Modern engines no longer have a 'distributor'.

Engine spark/ignition is now controlled by the engine computer (Powertrain Computer Module - PCM), a smarter coilpack, and the camshaft position sensor (CPS).

What is the towing capacity of a 2000 Ford Windstar LX?

This information is listed in your owner's manual. Don't have one, get one. Dealer, salvage yard, e-bay, Google Search.

What would cause the tow haul mode on a 1999 Silverado not to work?

Hi... Try pulling the stick down to 1st (with foot on brake and tow haul button depressed...don't let it go yet) then move the stick up into 2nd and then to Drive...does it work now???

seems to be a loose connection in the wiring at the base steering column

If you have a rubber boot around the gear shift...take a peek inside, you may be able to get to the wires,,,a contact spray may work. good luck
