#2 of 334 98 Windstar - Delayed Accessory Relay by terrykemm

Apr 14, 2006 (7:54 am)

When I close the tailgate or side door the delay relay does not always work. Sometimes the interior lights will go out and other times they will not. Any ideas of a resolution for this?
 
Thanks

Take wd40 or crc or simmillar and spray it into the place that looks like a horozonatal v that is where the latch method is located then slam the sliding door 3 or 4 times. This will probably fix your problem. My windstar does the same thing and this solves the problem then I have to redo it every week or so. If that does not work then try the same thing on the two latches on your back gate.

#5 of 334 #6 fuse keeps blowing by 88fan

Aug 16, 2006 (3:57 pm)

About a month ago I hit a bump in the road. When I hit the bump, my radio and entertainment center(VCR combo) quit working. I checked the fuses and #6 was blown. When I replace it, it immediately blows. I have tried a larger amp fuse and have went all the way to a 30 amp which is double what was in it before. Has anyone experienced this before? Any help would be appreciated.

#6 of 334 99 Windstar - Tail light remains on by stucki

Jan 18, 2007 (3:34 pm)

After parking the Windstar the tail lights remain on. If I get back in and pump the brake they will go off. However, many times I will get out and forget to check the tail lights, the result being a dead battery after a couple of hours. Has anyone suffered this problem and if so what is the fix?
 
Thanks much, Le

I used a little WD-40 (like) lubricant on the moving parts and brake sensor on the brake pedal.
 
That fixed the problem.

I tried checking the fuses under the dash and none are busted additionally, I checked both tail light bulbs and they are still good. Does anyone have any ideas?
