#55 of 174 left side door ajar switch by stape Jan 29, 2008 (8:18 am)
My door open light stays on and beeps at low speed. I need to find where the door ajar switch is located. Is in the door or under the dashboard? It seems to be just the driver side door. It is on a 1995 Ford Windstar van. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Jan 29, 2008 8:42 am)

Replying to: stape (Jan 29, 2008 8:18 am) Go back to post #1 on this forum...door ajar light problems started this off.   We fixed this issue on tailgate and other doors by spraying lubricant in the proper places.

Replying to: gcastor (Jan 17, 2008 10:16 am) I forgot to mention about the lights. If you drive just over 20 to 30 kph the dome light goes off. The ringing also stops. But when you slow back down to 20 or 30 kph the 'ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding Mother of Mercy shoot that damn noise already' comes back on. It may go away after awhile but that again is like a lottery. My luck has never been good with this vehicle however there are times like in extremely cold weather and bad roads where it helps me out of bad sticky situations. I guess it is one of the reasons why it stays with me. Doy you know what generates the ding sound? I would like to disconnect it so it stops for good.

Replying to: gcastor (Jan 17, 2008 2:52 pm) Is your so suspected alternator problem still there? I had a similar issue and it was related to the ignition switch. I actually thought it was the starter or alternator too. There is a white block under the dash which when finally pulled out showed signs of a little burn or sorting. This can intermittently cause the same problem till it burns out completely. The mechanic I finally took it too traced the wiring diagram to this and when he replaced it I did not have any more issues with that particular issue.
#59 of 174 Even more Electrical problems by dlowery2008 Feb 05, 2008 (8:24 pm)
Anybody with any ideas on these problems?. 2002 Windstar Sport, it has two driving lights in the front bumper, which come on with the headlights (no separate switch). They've suddenly started to come on by themselves after the vehicle is switched off, but also switch off too!. Secondly the radio/CD stopped working, together with the lights for the power windows, mirrors on the control pads and the windows and mirrors too. Occasionally these devices will start to work, but not for long. Also the door light for the sliding driver side door suddenly starts flashing and then stops!. All the while the van is driving well, headlights, dash and console lights all work as does the odometer, tach, gauges and power locks. Perhaps it's a Poltergeist!
#60 of 174 Battery Light Brake Light three beeps by dcantillon Feb 06, 2008 (3:42 am)
Battery is losing juice. New Alternator confirmed as charging. Just had plugs replaced and my fear is the mechanic screwed something up. The lights go dim as Van is running but idle pace changes and lights brighten as engine guns a little. The Battery light came on, the brake light came on, and the ABS light all came on at the same time and there were three beeps. Am I doomed? It was running fine when I had the plugs changed and now this, but I don't trust the mechanic anymore. He wanted $400 to replace a $35.00 line. Help!

Replying to: anothpiece0sh (Feb 26, 2008 8:01 am) Try spraying wd40 into the door latches. I have suffered this for years and thought about shooting the dang gadget that goes ding ding ding. I heard about the wd40 trick on this board and gave it a try. I sprayed liberally into the from left and right doors including the sliding. That was probably a month ago and so far there is no more overhead lights coming on and ding ding ding. I hope this helps you.

Replying to: firststrike (Dec 18, 2007 6:05 pm) Before you try to exorcise your wife, I think you should stay away from Motorcraft parts. I have had bad luck with Motocraft and now use OEM instead where available.This happened for my van and my wife's Escape. Changed my brake pads, battery, alternator, starter and more to OEM parts.
