Why would your 96 lumina's low trac light come on at during low speed turns?
Asked by Wiki User
I am assuming this is a traction control warning light. Some vehicles have yaw and roll sensors. If the sensor is bad and is returning a faulty voltage value to the module (probably the body control module) that monitors those sensors, the light will come on.
What years are Windstar parts interchangable?
Asked by Wiki User
Interchangeability of parts...
The three 'generations' of Windstars were:
* 1995-1998 - with 1998 having an enlarged drivers doors * 1999-2003
* 2005-2007 "Freestar" - even the Ford online Owners Manuals files are named "Windstar" - it was nothing more than a cosmetic name-change to Freestar
Each 'generation' of Windstars were essentially the same vehicles, with most of the differences being more-or-less cosmetic.
This allows for very high interchangeability of parts within the generation.
Two sources of information regarding specific parts:
* Auto parts store - their books and supplier information will detail parts 'application' - which vehicles a given part fits.
* Auto salvage yard - not only specialist with body parts, but also engines, transmissions, and major mechanicals interchangeability I got a 3.8 L 1995 ford windstar. Dealing with the MASS AIRFLOW SENCORE what other kind of vehical's will fit the same mass airflow sencore the engine # 128256254 vin # SBH53358 please help me thank you
Other than cosmetic differences, Ford made very few significant changes from 1995 to 1998.
The mechanical components and repair procedures are pretty much the same.

What does the ABS Trac Off mean?
Asked by JunctionShelly
It means that the traction control system is disabled. If you accelerate from a stop in slippery conditions, the tires will continue to spin uncontrolled. The system usually resets after turning the car off. The antilock system cannot be disabled, so the brakes will be unaffected.
Can we replace the Captain seats with a bench in the 2000 Ford Windstar sel?
Asked by Wiki User
Swapping the seats is possible.
When you remove one of the captains chairs, you'll note there is another set of seat latch hooks in the floor - those are positioned for the bench style.
My 2001 came with the bench-style captains chairs with the built-in console - I always wanted to trade with someone who had individual captains chairs... Happen to have gray leather seats? ;)

Why do valves noisey when going up hills and at about 40 mph but at no othertime on a ford windstar?
Asked by Wiki User
This is pinging. Caused by cheap fuel, carbon buildup, or engine out of time. Purchase some Seafoam Cleaner at most parts stores and put one can in a full tank of fuel. Repeat if needed. You may also need to inject some through a vacuum intake to remove carbon. Follow the directions on the can.

How do you reset the change oil message on a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer?
Asked by Wiki User
on the dash there should be three buttons info, setup and reset one of those you press a few times and should show reset oil
First turn the key to the run position (dash lights on and gauges on) you do not have to start the car. Now look for the "info" button. Push the info button until you see "push set for system check". Then push the "set" button After you push "set" you will see the oil life setting. Mine was at 0% life remaining. Now push the "set" button for 5 to 10 seconds until you hear a beep. Then the oil life will show 100%. Start the car and the oil change warning should be off. If not just retry the procedure. Where i made my mistake was in not holding the set button down long enough. Both the info and set button are in the center of the dash near the radio.
What does trac mean on 1997 town country trac off?
Asked by Wiki User
Sounds like your looking at the traction control switch or if that's the indicator light, someone has pressed the button to turn off automatic traction control. Unfortunately I don't know where that particular button is.
Not sure where it is on a '97 but on an '04 it is located on the steering column top right. Chances are on a '97 it is somewhere on the dash panel. I'm surprised it doesn't reset to off when you shut off and then restart the car.
How to remove the dash to fix a temperature blend door problem on a 1996-1999 Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable?
Asked by Wiki User
I'd bet the farm that you have one of two problems.
- Either the heater core is stopped up due to rust in the cooling system, or
- There is a problem with the blend door/blend door actuator.
Either case, the dash has got to come out to fix. How big is the job? For somebody like me who has removed hundreds of those dashes, I can have it out in 45 minutes. Somebody who has never had one out, it could take all day.
- Disconnect the battery and wait five minutes to power down the airbags.
- Pull the steering column out.(make sure you lock the column and index the steering shaft, so you do not put it back together 360 degrees out and damage your airbag clockspring).
- Remove the trim down both windshield pillars, both ends of the dash, and kick panels.
- Remove the big trim piece running across the top of the dash below the windshield. There are three 7mm screws across the top of the dash, remove them.
- There are two 13mm bolts on each end of the dash under the end trim panels, remove them.
- Tug on the dash and see if there is any more bolts in the middle, but that should be it.
- Get some help, because as you pull the dash away from the firewall, there will be some electrical connectors at both ends you will have to disconnect as they become visible. There may also be one or two connectors in the middle.
Here is something you may want to know to help you figure out what is wrong. There is not just one temp blend door in the box, but there are two that work together. One of them is called a secondary stratification door. Ford has had so much trouble with that secondary door warping and binding against the other door, causing heat and AC problems, that they have revised a new door to replace the old one. The part number is 3F1Z-19D842-AA just in case you get somebody at the Ford parts counter who doesn't have a clue.
