run the fault codes could be a low coolant level sensor so check coolant level at the tank or radiator cap

Hi, This could be a sign of lack of oil in the axle, if you could just check that out first & refill the axle that may fix problem. Should that not solve problem I think if you drive it home carefully it should hold out enough to get you home. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

You have a faulty temperature sensor at the air outlet of the passenger side.

Have you had this wheel balanced? That sounds like the problem. It also could be loose lug nuts or possible a bad bearing.

We stopped guessing about causes back in '96 when cars stored trouble codes. Get the codes read and post them. Then we can help

The most likely problem is a bad ignition switch.

silicone to hold the glass? Usually is a special glass epoxy

if auto zone used a simple scanner possible wouldnt pick upon a manufacturer code --trans axle warning light can be from a fluid problem to a bad sensor need to check level and or fluid condition--as to pressure in tank your fuel tank is under pressure that was normal release when you opened the cap

I am not a Ford guy but I am going to take a shot at this. The switch should be on the intake manifold around the front of the engine or in the front of the engine just below the intake where the radiator hose goes into the water pump. A few of the videos I researched for this answer showed the switch under the truck and screwed into the exhaust manifold but I do not believe yours is there but just in case the other two don't work look there. If all of this fails do a search on goggle for "Where is the temp sw located on a 2005 4.2 liter ford freestar." Hope this helps and I have not confused the issue.

Check the mass airflow sensor. Possible dirt build up. Check the rubber vacuum hoses for leaks.

At the pinch welds along the unibody of the bottom of the van. I believe there may even be small indents or arrows that assist in locating the correct spot right behind the wheel well of the front tires, and right in front of the rear wheel well

You need a new heater core and/or thermostat and/or water pump, once you've determined you dont have a busted hose or radiator leak (unlikely because the car would overheat).

As the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor also operates using vacuum you can unplug the small vacuum line and use a handheld brake type vacuum pump. Just make sure to plug the line you removed. I forget exactly the values you should see, but at the least you should see some changes when increasing or decreasing vacuum.

Pull the control switch out of the dash and check the switch connector for burnt connectors terminals, it will be be discolored, if you do find the switch burnt replace the switch and buy a repair connector from Ford. If the connector is ok then replace the blower motor resistor near the blower motor, it can cause this problem as well, in fact do that first, the blower resistor module is only about $18.00 (Source Rockauto.com). the wipers are controlled through the BCM (body control module), it can be tested with a scan tool. Below is a picture of the blower resistor module.
