After a 800 mile drive over Christmas, my "95 Windstar's windshield wipers and front power windows stopped working. I checked the fuses, they look okay. Does anyone know to resolve this electrical or mechanical problem?
Thanks,
Fred
If it is not something simple, then the intake manifold gaskets or EGR ports maybe the problem.
Good Luck
They mean which stored diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved from the engine control computer when a code reader or scanner was connected to the vehicle's diagnostic port.
"THE DEALER WANTS A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS JUST TO DIAGNOSE."
AutoZone will retrieve DTC's no charge.
"ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT IT MAY BE?"
No, and neither does anybody else without the trouble codes.
Btw, please turn off your CAPS LOCKS. It's the internet equivalent of shouting.
:lemon:
I would be glad about an appropriate hint.
Thanks from Germany

Thanks
I think that is a bit of an exaggeration by your mechanic. I know I have 95,000 on my 1997's transmission and transmission is fine...various engine gaskets are another matter.
any help whatsoever appreciated. will send cash for fix. :confuse: :confuse:
ps. is there a way to directly e-mail other members regarding same problems??
thank you all

Re the brakes, does it pulse at every brake apply or only at lower speeds, around 5 mph?
It was a front end collision with the impact occuring between center and the passenger headlight. We expect the car to be a total loss. There's just really nothing left of the front end to put back together. Neither front airbag deployed. My family and I are very bruised up but (in my opinion) very lucky to be alive. Still, the airbag issue bothers me.
Thankfully, we still have our Windstar that we can use for transportation. We've been pretty fortunate with that vehicle.
thanks.

After starting my van - ALL the interior lights come on and don't extinguish until about one hour after I have stopped the car. Presently NO door ajar light is on while the interior lights are on. Nonetheless, I have done the WD40 spraying of door latches and switches as suggested by other posts in this forum because I have had door ajar problems in the past. The WD40 thing is not working this time.
Can anyone suggest a possible cause for this malady? Also, what electronics in the car is responsible for extinguishing the lights (in this case) after one hour?

IM having strange problems with my heater. I can let the van warm up to defrost my windows and heat it but it never seems to get that warm, but when I drive within 15 minutes its really warm in van. If I leave it running to run in somewhere the air is lukewarm or cold again until I start driving any ideas on what is wrong,
Just stopped by to say WAH! Well, my 98 lost its Tranny. A lot to repair her...4200...along with 5 Vacuum leak codes...Thats just for starters. There are 4 other codes that came up that will need to be done, She has over 100k miles and I'm stuck on stupid. Is 4200 a lot including the CE light codes for the Vac Leaks??? Its not at Ford, but a local repair shop...(and it is only a reconditioned tranny from Ford with a warranty...something like 50k miles) Guess I should go call them. :mad: Don't care to deal with the dealer.
Thanks,
Melody
I viewed another post in this forum (#2162) that described a similar problem. Does anyone know if this is common with this year of production?
