#124 of 173 Driver door problems by fixeddaily May 08, 2009 (11:12 am)
Hello. I have a 2002 Windstar SEL. The power window switch doesn't work on the driver side. When you push the button and hold it down, you can hear a click after about a second. Does this sound like a switch problem or perhaps a problem with the motor itself? Also, the power door lock doesn't lock the driver door. Any ideas on how to fix these problems? Thanks.
#125 of 173 Wiring Trailer Lights to 2001 Windstar by tluvison May 11, 2009 (6:22 pm)
I have a kit to hook-up lights for towing a U-Haul. Where can I find the wiring inside the vehicle to connect to? It didn't come with the towing package, but there should be wires somewhere in the back (in a panel, etc.), to connect to. Please advise.   Thanks - Tom

#127 of 173 please help! Interior lights wont go off after car is off and locked! by fordsux May 30, 2009 (9:31 pm)
Just recently i started having problems with my van. Bare with me i am a 25 yr old female and by far not even close to being a mechanic. However a friend told me about this site so ill give it a shot. First thing that started was the lights inside would not turn off when it would be parked and locked up. I have to occasionally unhook battery so it wont drain over night! called ford and they said they never heard of that happening! Then the other day i tried to lock door to go into store and when i pressed the lock button the lock would pop down and then right back up! Only happened 1 time thank god. But now my van will just die out of no where while driving down the road or at a red light. Had the fuel pump and filter changed. Still happening... Does anyone know what the heck it is!? I refuse to pay a mechanic 100 dollars an hr to fix a problem that i am hoping someone else had and found how to fix. Thanks to anyone still reading!

Replying to: fordsux (May 30, 2009 9:31 pm) Have the Alternater looked at. Our van had done this, we thought at 1st it was the battery, had that replaced, then the car became worse, had Alternater replaced and it was cured. You called the company??? and they haven't heard of this. then who ever you talked to has his head in the ground. if you read this site you can see how many have problems and Ford ignores it. God knows they can't have a recall now. my van left me on the side of the road 12am with no head lights and no street lights. We were almost hit in the back by anouther car that couldn't see us because we had no lights. Ask them to Check the Alternater 1st before replaceing it.

Replying to: fordsux (May 30, 2009 9:31 pm) check fuse # 16- I copied and pasted a repair that I already posted on here #89 of 129     Headlights and Blower motor stay on when the car is off by tkelly1740     Aug 09, 2008 (6:50 am)     Save | Reply   I finally got this fixed. There is a technical service bulletin on this from Ford and here is the fix. Fuse # 16 is blown therefore the ignition off signal is not being sent to the front end module. Pin # 11 (Windstar wiring diagram) on wiring harness C-239 is shorted. The diagram will show you where the wire goes to a front harness on the fuse box from the back of the instrument cluster. I simply cut the wire at both ends and ran a new wire. I have a 1999 Windstar- hope this helps. I spent 2 weekends looking for this and finally figured it out- cost nothing to fix and only took about 30 minutes. It did take me about 3 hours to put the car back together though.

Replying to: captbly (May 31, 2009 4:58 am) THANK You for your help. This is information i can pass on to My dad that is able to fix the problem if he just knows what it is. I will have alternater checked first and check a few fuses.,. I cant bieleve how many people are having problems with their van! Ford should do something before someone burns that place/places down.

Replying to: katinhat (Jul 30, 2008 2:30 pm) i am having the same problem with my 98 windstar. I have no idea why, But recently my dome lights and all other interior lights stay on while the car if off and locked up. I have to unhook battery so it wont drain overnight! Some guy told me that alternator could be the broblem. However it has to be in the door latches. Maybe even the hatch. My door open lights wont go off now and its so frusterating. So Im going to start by replacing door latches 1 at a time. Only thing that seems to be the problem with the lights as one guy said. Something to do with it the door latch doesnt catch fully then the sensor doesnt sense it. ? im not a mechanic but sounds pretty legit to me. Good luck and please let me know if you figure n e thing out.
