Thank-you,
Tim
Your parts store should be able to help you if you do not have a meter.
These plugs are hard to reach so they are probable original.
In reading the posts it sounds like I should start by looking under the air filter electrical components and wiring harness. Has anyone figured this out?
Thanks for your thoughts! :sick:
couple quick times the starter misfired-or whined, but still started, with a trip planned
for this week-end, I had the mechanic pull it, and took it to a local "automotive electrical rebuild" shop, only a couple of teeth left on the gizmo, can't imagine why,
it has only been started around 7,000 times in the couple of years I have had it, ye
olde yard and garage sales, ya know, but, don't hold your breath, the berserkness
has stopped for the moment, the mechanic is further checking some other electrical
problems tomorrow, window won't work, cigarette lighter, etc., cost was less than
1/3rd of auto parts place rebuilts-I called them all, of course, these forums are great,
as I probably would have spent a lot of money for a "guess what it might be" trip to
several mechanics, thanks so much to all, and this forum, I will be back with an update, asap, be safe, and help one another!
otherwise, another trip planned mid-oct, so time to continue the "o what can it be"
routine, I will update, thanks to all, be safe,
Any ideas or suggestions would most welcome!!!
closes door to change from ac to heat, 2, check water flow through heater core inside
vehicle, usually near passenger side front door under dash, 3, may need to flush
cooling system for partially clogged radiator and/or heater core, good luck!
I know the switch, bulbs, fuses & relays are good.
Any ideas??? How do I fix this?
Thanks
We also had the same problem – no hot air. I just solved this. Mine was the “Front Air Door Actuator”. I paid $50 to get the part from Pepboys. Same price as those on the Internet. I opened the old actuator and found that the gear wheels were made from plastic, and one of the gear wheel’s teeth had been damaged. Suggestioon for Ford is to get some good material for that tiny wheel. Even some good plastic can increase the life time of this car. That is why the AC door was always at the Cold Fresh air position. Changing this self needs to remove the radio and the panel. If you change it by yourself, make sure you plug power supply to the new actuator and slide the temperature control slightly away from the Coldst position, so that the actuator can be placed in the fixture in the car. Good luck.
There maybe a day, a week or a month or more between events, no rhyme or reason to it. After the vehicle has been running about 20 minutes you will detect a lurching sensation, then a rough running while driving like the firing order had been corrupted. It might simply stall the first time you have to stop or it might simply go on until you park to pickup something at a store. In any event when you try to restart the van it will crank just fine but will only run for about 10 seconds and it will simply shutdown. If you wait from three to four hours, it will restart and be just fine for anybodys' guess how long. The dealer has had the van for three occasions in the past nine months and they have it as I type this query. They can find nothing, no codes, error messages, fuel faults, electrical faults even though they had to push it into the garage after the tow wagon dropped it in their lot this afternoon. Just some observations: appears that there is no fuel during this down time although the smell is awful, if it initially does catch the idle could stir your coffee, firing order, rough almost like several cylinders not firing.
I replaced my brake switch on the master cyl which is what they did to yours.
I cleaned off the brake fluid from the wiring first.
Try looking at the main fuses and breakers under the hood.
They must have let the brake fluid short your wiring.
This should take care of most if not all of your problems.
The old switch leaked brake fluid down the wiring harness, causing a lot of electrical problems. I replaced mine for about $15.00 before the warranty campaign started.
HELP!
HELP PLEASE!! Thanks
justinswyfe do you know what the name of that computer in the back of the van is? If I knew what it was called I could look for the part better. Maybe that is my problem too.
Holtz, where is the ABSmoduale located? Thanks. Angela. :confuse: :confuse: :sick:
Any luck finding the cause of your instrument cluster issues?
