What size of speakers need for aford windstar 98?

First: Go to the Crutchfield website and put in your year and make Windstar. The results will show you the various types of speakers used in the front door and mid-panel.

Write down the cat.# of the lower priced sets of 5 1/2" round and 5"x7" oval speakers.

Then check the Wal-Mart near you for those styles. I found a pair of Pioneer 51/2" speakers for $12 less than Crutchfield, including sales tax.

Finally, very carefully follow the answers for removing your door panels.

What does outdo mean?

When someone says that they are going to outdo you it means that they are going to try to do something better than you. This is the gateway for competition.

How do you replace the driver's side mirror on 2000 Ford Windstar?

Not sure if it will be the same for the 2000 Windstar. I changed the whole mirror assembly on my 98 passanger side. There are 3 nuts holding the assembly on the door. You must first remove the inside door panel by removing the cover around the door opener handle. There is a screw behind it once that is removed you can remove the panel by lifting up on the panel. you can then unplug the power window and lock buttons if you like( it does make it easier). then you have access to the nuts holding the mirror assembly one once you remove the little black rubber plugs. Unplug the power mirror cable and then reinstall the new one in the opposite order as the removal. .

New HeadlineOn my 2000 Windstar, there were 4 hex headed screws that I needed to remove with a 9/32" nut driver. Two were in the bottom of the door handle. One was near the bottom rear corner of the door and the other was under a black plastic trapezoid shaped piece (about 3" x 5") near the top front of the door (on the inside of the car, opposite the mirror). I carefully pried the black plastic piece off as it just snaps in place.

The door panel could then be removed by lifting up and towards the back of the car. The two power connectors near the middle of the panel unplug by depressing a tab on them and the courtesy light near the bottom rear of the door panel can be removed by twisting counter clockwise.

There are 3 nuts holding on the mirror assembly, two of which are under black plastic/rubber hole-filler grommets. Be careful not to drop the nuts down in the door panel! I used an 11mm socket with a magnet to keep the nuts from dropping.

The power connector for the mirror motor/heater is under some white foam sound proofing. I peeled back a portion of it to expose the power connector. After unplugging the connector, I tied a piece of sturdy string to the old power connector before removing the mirror so that the string "fished" through the door panel as I removed the mirror and cord. I then untied the string from the old connector and tied it onto the new mirror's connector and pulled the cord back through the door panel. I think it would be very difficult otherwise to get the connector back through the door panel.

The remainder of the installation was just a reverse of the removal.

How do you change a camshaft position sensor 1995 Ford Windstar?

Disconnect the electrical connector. Remove the two 7/32 screws holding it on, and replace it. On the 3.8L it is like a little distributor at the front of the engine in the top of the timing cover. It has been a while but I think it just has one screw and clamp holding it in. You should also have the engine on TDC #1 and mark the old one before you pull it out. This makes life a lot easier if the engine would by chance turn with the sensor removed. MGL

After the doors open so you can enter the regis areas how do you open the next door in Pokemon?

It all varies on what game you're playing: Ruby/Sapphire: Registeel: Head to Fortree City. From there, go to route 120. Keep heading south until you reach the area between routes 120 and 121 (like the area where the lady who gives you a berry everyday is standing). From there, head as far to the left as you can, then head north (you should go up some stairs.) You should spot an unusual rock formation. Enter it, and head for the middle of the room and use Fly. The door to registeel opens, and he awaits inside. Regirock: Fly to Lavaridge Town. Head east towards the desert. Once you're in it, head as far south as you can. You'll eventually find a familiar rock formation... Enter and walk up to the middle of the braille on the wall. Move two spaces to the right and two spaces down and use strength. The door will open, and prepare for battle! Regice: Surf south from Petalburg City, towards Dewford. Keep looking on your left, and if you see an opening in between the rocks, enter from there and start heading north. Past a couple of islands and you'll find Regice's rock formation. Enter and head towards the middle of the braille. Press A and make yourself some snacks, cause it'll be awhile. The door will open after a few minutes Emerald: Registeel: His location is in the same place, just different process: Read the braille and step four steps down. Then use flash. Ta-da! Door open! Regirock: Same place on Route 111, just head towards the middle of the braille and head two steps down, two steps to the left and use rock smash. Regice: Like the last two, he's in the same place. Read the middle of the braille and take a full clockwise jog around the edges of the cave (go to the right and head around, and be sure to stick to the wall!).

How do you get the master lighting switch off that is on in your 2000 Ford Windstar?

The panel dimmer control is to the right of the headlamp control. If you roll the panel dimmer control up past detente (the catch), it is in the full up position and all of the interior lights will remain on. If you roll the panel dimmer control down past detente, the interior lights will turn off (unless they are individually turned on in which case the panel dimmer switch is overridden). I would also suggest the question could be related to interior lights that keep coming on due to a stuck door ajar switch.

Why are the ABS and Traction lights on after replacing rear wheel bearing - sensor wasn't damaged?

There should be a gap between the sensor and the sensor ring. If it is adjustable, make sure it matches the other wheels. Also, make sure your sensor is plugged in, and check to see if you might have blown a fuse. You can also try to reset the computer by disconnecting the battery for a couple minutes.

What could be leaking antifreeze from the rear of the engine on a 2001 ford windstar?

If you're lucky, it's something simple like a heater hose - which are at the backside of the engine.

Not going to be the easiest to see, but if you take the cowling off - the panels below the windshield, there'll be plenty of room to maneuver around and inspect for the source.

It's actually pretty easy to do - and well detailed in the "Related Questions" below.
