My crazy car did the same thing... I added coolant and replaced the fuses making sure all fuse spots were filled with appropriate fuses as well as pushed the fuel reset button, its in the trunk on passenger side.. GOOD LUCK! If that doesnt work, kick the tire and scream PEICE OF FORD!

probably a water pump going out. look for "weeping" from the pump, ( water leaking out holes from the pump) If not, it could also be your alternator...

check for blowin fuses,

may be your termostat is stock, or your water pump is loose or damage, or your radiator fan is not working.

What is a brake starter?

Transmission Range Sensor and Neutral Safety Switch are the same thing. As for the other question, I'm not sure what you're asking.

There are two, The "Underhood Fuse/Relay Box" and the "Instrument Panel Fuse Block".

The Underhood Fuse/Relay Box is located in the engine compartment near the battery.
TheInstrument Panel Fuse Block is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal.

these are all transmission codes (trans relay circuits.)

Get a new one!

follow your top radiator hose to the engine there should be a metal thing attached with 2 bolts, take them out remove the thermostat either replace the gasket or use high temp silicone to reseal it after you put in the thermostat pointed end up

Use a can of carburetor spray to detect engine vacuum leaks.

don't know what the silver box is, but its probably the transmission cooler line going from tranny to radiator. should be 2 silver lines coming from radiator. follow them

Hi guys, you can get a diagnostic tool and it can help you clear the code.(Just a suggestion)

each window motor has a circuit breaker inside the motor
