#18 of 37 Dead Electrical system by jadedgeek Feb 19, 2007 (3:33 pm)
After replacing the starter on my 92 Aerostar I can not even turn it on. The electrical system is dead. No interior light, guages, anything. Its exactly as if the battery was completely removed from the van.   Any solutions? Replies to this message: loosenut (Dec 16, 2007 1:00 am)

Replying to: vicki120 (May 26, 2006 6:07 am) VICKI; I HAVE A 93' AEROSTAR THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT TO THE EXTREME. I CAN'T START IT .ON OCCASION,IN THE PAST, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN(WHAT?)NOW IT CRANKS GREAT WITH NO POPS OR NO STARTS. IT STIL DOESN'T START. ITS NOT THE STARTER, BATTERY, FUEL FILTER,VOLTAGE REGULATOR, IGNITION MODULE, DISTRIBUTOR,CAP,OR ROTOR. A FRIEND OF MINE WORKS AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, SAYS IT MIGHT BE THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE, OR SOME CALL IT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE.I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM. THIS MODULE(IN USED CONDITION) WOULD SELL FOR $50.00 AND HAS TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER(WOW!! MORE EXPENSE).

Replying to: vicki120 (May 26, 2006 6:07 am) Vicki I hope you have fixed your problem. It took me awhile to figure that one out as the problem got worse over time. Replace the door latches (on the frame not the door itself), there is a plastic bushing that wears out and only comes as an assembly. Ford dealer part only about $12 each. The noise is the relay turning on and off and it will go away also.  I hope someone can help with my problem. Lost electrical power to AC/blower, rear defogger, backup lights, rear wiper, turn signals and maybe more. Van runs great. 1990 xlt 5speed manual 3.0L   Thank You Gerald

My 1993 aerostar xl horn and cruise control has quit. Have check fuses? Could it be the horn relay? Thanks Replies to this message: wwest (Dec 14, 2007 8:00 am) jdedvm (Dec 14, 2007 8:16 am)

Replying to: jdedvm (Dec 08, 2007 6:13 pm) No, its the contact ring/wire inside the stearing column at the stearing wheel. Replies to this message: jdedvm (Dec 14, 2007 8:16 am)

Replying to: jadedgeek (Feb 19, 2007 3:33 pm) when you replaced the starter,did you replace the starter solenoid? -and if you did,have you left any of the smaller wires off?>.. if this is not the case,it sounds like the fusable link..from the battery side of the solenoid-follow the -pos- (+) post of the battery to where it bolts to a thingy on the side of the engine compartment..this is the starter solenoid.. you will need a 12 volt circut tester..test the curcit tester by clipping the wire end to the ground(-)post on the batt.. there should be two small wires,along with the battery cable -using the pointy end of the tester,pierce through the rubber coating-trying to hit the wire underneath,and see if your tester lights up--if not-pull on this wire--if the fusable link is ok,you shouldn't be able to pull it apart easily..if the wire is burnt through,the only thing holding it would be the rubber insulation..if this is the problem,go to the parts store-a REAL one,and tell them you need a piece of fusable link..use crimp connectors,or-fix it right by soldering and shrink tube--andVUIOLA!!..it should be fixed!!..good luck!!
#27 of 37 Headlights by djmjd5 Feb 22, 2008 (8:21 am)
1993 aerostar. The headlights have decided to have a mind of their own. They will shut off suddenly for a few seconds and then come back on. Both on low and high beam. I drove for 1/2 hour no problem then multiple times over the next 15 miles. Never had a problem before now almost all of time. The dash lights are fine. Is this a dimmer switch problem or is there another componet that might be overheating or something? Replies to this message: recondoc (Dec 14, 2008 1:39 am)
