Top 10 2002 Ford Windstar Cargo Questions & Answers

I had the same problem. My mechanic said it is probably carbon under the EGR valve. The computer reads this as a vacuum leak and tries to compensate. The same problem can cause a rise in oil consumption, usually before the 'clog' happens. He told me if it happens again I should bring the car to him and he will clean the system.

First thing I would check is to see if you have power at the trigger wire of the starter motor while someone is trying to start the vehicle for you. It will be a Yellow with a light blue trace. If you do then I would check to see if the main battery cable has power to it all the time when someone is trying to crank it. If it does then I would hold a test light on the case of the starter motor and have someone try to crank it. Make sure that the ground you use for this test is on the negative battery terminal not just anywhere on the car. If the test light lights while you are cranking it then you have a bad ground. Hook up a set of jumper cables from the battery negative terminal and clamp it directly on to your starter motor and see if it starts. If you check it and the test light doesn't light up and all the other checks are good then your starter motor has failed. If one of the other tests has failed then you have a starter relay problem or something else. let me know what you find out.

Hello: From your description of the problem it sounds like the wiper arm is bent. This could have occurred when the windshield was replaced. You might take truck back to who ever replaced windshield and DEMAND they correct the problem. The w/w arm will have to be replaced.

I'm pretty sure that the gauges and locks are not controlled by the rear body control module but I can tell you that the rear BCM is at the back, underneath the tire jack holder. Pretty easy to get at. Remove the jack, remove the 3 or 4 bolts that hold the jack bracket to the body, peel back the plastic sheath and voila, there it is.

A flashing Check Engine light means you have a ignition Misfire, start by replacing the spark plugs and spark plug wires, one or more is defective. If you have a electronic engine control fault code reader the cylinder or cylinders that are misfiring will set a fault code, the codes are P0300-P0306, the last number being the number of the cylinder ( cylinders 1-6) the computer has detected a misfire in.

I;m guessing when you say juntion box you are talking about the power distribution box/fuse box located in the engine compartment. These are the diagrams that I have given you below. this should be in your owners manual if you have one. If you don't and would like a copy, you can email me at [email protected] with your make, model and year and I will be happy to email you a copy. I hope this helps and good luck.
