20 Most Recent 2003 Ford Econoline Cutaway Questions & Answers

The fact that your fan started working by itself makes me suggest that your problem could be a blower motor resistor switch. You can look up the location with an internet search using your year and make of vehicle and the part name. If your van is equipped with this part it has a history of intermittent operation across many product lines. Although many parts stores do not allow electrical parts to be returned if they are not needed, the part has electrical connections which can be plugged in to test the part before installing. The effects should be immediate.

sounds like you have a short there somewhere not sure where to look though hope this helps and good luck regards Jim

This could be related because the emmission sensors could of detected a drop in crankcase pressure with oil cap missing.I know that if you leave a gas cap off most cars will give a check engine light also.But then again that light will go on for many issues.

check your dimmer switch at the base of steering colmn

Replace Your Altenator

The Bottle is under the Battery tray.You must remove it to access the Bottle.

it sounds like the small arm inside the steering colunm has broken. on my windstar it was actually two pieces. if you do not have tilt steering the job to replace it isn't too bad tho you have to pull the steering wheel and remove the lock cylinder. to test if this is correct you would need to pull the ignition switch... it's under the steering column. there is a pin on it that fits into the arms that come down from the ignition switch. remove the ignition switch and turn the key while looking up into the hole where the small arm is. if it doesn't move it is broken.

for the immediate problem just either pull the fuse for ignition or remove the breather snorkel that attaches to the throttle body and block it off with your hand.

Nope....just those bolts.

check the brake fluid level,if it gets low that will set the light on.also the rear abs sensors used to go bad.check the wiring to the rear sensor(located on the top center of the rear axle.

u may have a alternator going out ,remove alternator and have it checked

the tumbler unit is bad

Check the fuel pressure. On the bright metal fuel rack/line on top of the engine there is a caped nipple to check fuel pressure. IF you don't have a fuel pressure gauge then "I don't suggest" sticking something in the valve to see if fuel spits out. When attaching the gauge and the engine is off there might be some pressure but when the key is turned on (don't start engine) the pressure should rise to 30-40 psi (this changes from make to make). Sticking something in the valve might show you there is a jump in pressure but not the way it should be done. Also you can check for noise from the fuel pump. Most all pumps can be heard especially if you place your ear near the underside where the gas tank is (as most vehicles today have the pump in the tank). Have someone turn the key all the way on but do not start it. You should hear a brief buzz/hiss of the pump and then it will shut off. If you don't hear anything try a solid blow with the side of your fist to the bottom of the fuel tank at the same time as the key is being turned on. This has, in many occasions, brought the pump back to life (if only for a few seconds). I actually was able to get someone their home by doing this but by no means is this a fix. The neutral safety switch is on the selector shaft on the transmission. Look for two sets of wires, one for neutral switch and the other for reverse lights.

o2 sensors come in various qualities. Never buy the ones made in China or Mexico because they are nice and cheap. Always buy OEM quality sensors. https://www.google.com/search?q=Ford+P2196 https://www.google.com/search?q=Ford+P2198 ..

Sounds like the ignition module has failed. It's normally located on the distributor itself
