SOURCE: 1999 Windstar ABS/Traction/OD off light and speedometer

Its a faulty sensor switch on your brakes master cylinder. It leaks brake fluid into the wires that are plugged into it and causes a short in the circuit, resulting in a blown fuse that controls the AC, odometer, speedometer, cruise control, and ABS light to come on. This problem can also cause a fire. The fire can occur even when the vehicle is off. To fix this problem go to this URL - http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/

SOURCE: gear shift is loose

You need to screw a bolt which is located under the steering column. Take off a panel under the steering column. Take a flush light look under and jiggle the shifter arm. There is a bolt (I think it's a star shaped so you need to buy it) connecting 2 parts of linkage. It will be loose. Screw it and shifter arm will be as new.

Tranny will not go in gear, comes out of park but no go in rev. or forward

faulty transmission, check transmission oil if levels are ok. I'd recommend having an experienced tech check it out. More than likely your entire transmission needs an overhaul or replacement. hopefully this help'd

1995 Ford Windstar transmission is slipping and shifting hard

bad news, 1995 ford windstar transmissions fail extremely frequently at about 60000 miles, I would not waste money in a transmission flush as it will most likely not correct the problem. It is a dsign flaw, the transmission cannot handle the torque of the 3,8L engine and the 700Lbs of added weight of the windstar body.
I'd just use it untill it fails...

Diagram for transmission for windstar

Is the tranny slipping or is it going into neutral by itself, had this problem on my 98 windstar GL, changed the transmission range selector and it works great. Took about a half hour to change and the part cost $58.00 at the Ford dealer.
