Top 20 2003 Ford Windstar Questions & Answers

The Overdrive light flashing is an electronic issue rather than a mechanical one, unless a solenoid has failed. Thar can be checked by an auto electrician armed with a $5,000 bi-directional scan tool computer. They can instruct all the solenoids to work and verify that they did. There may also be readable DTC codes. When you emptied the transmission, did you measure the fluid that came out of it and replace it with exactly the same amount? It looks like whatever the electrical issue is, it is stopping you from driving. https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+Ford+Windstar+over+drive+light+flashing https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

First go to ford owners.Com register then download the manual for free then go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams and fuse values are there also the relays //////before you replace any you might need electrical plug cleaning maintenance the vans 16 years old now go to each component and clean the plugs contacts to get nice and shiny alcohol or electrical cleaner will work and maybe 4/0 steel wool if you see corrosion then it's needed also the cable going to your power distribution box from the battery and the fuse blades in that box along with the relays must be cleaned also there is an accessory relay in the passenger fuse box after doing all cleaning check for blown fuses and replace for the windows the master window switch maybe corroded at the connector clean all and make sure they fit the contact pins tightly on the switch now obviously I am not there at the van so you have to perform these things to rule out other possibilities and most likely this didn't happen all at once but if it did detach the power distribution box and look underneath for broken wires the manual will tell you what things are on the same fuses and relays good luck stephen

Which fuse box ? under the hood in engine compartment or inside the passenger compartment ? The front electronic control module controls the power lock's . Fuse # F2.14 -10 amp located in the central junction box powers the FEM . Fuse # F2.6 - 15 amp located in the central junction box powers the keyless entry module. Did you try battery in the key fob (remote ) ? Take it to a qualified repair shop an have code's checked .

Be sure the airline to the tank is allowing air to prevent a vacuum.

Quite possible that you may have a cracked cylinder head or engine block. Just going to have to investigate further and hope its something a little less catastrophic, Like something on the heater system running down

The system is telling you that there is a problem and it shuts itself off in order to let you know it can not work properly at this time. It is most likely a sensor failure. If one sensor goes it shuts down the whole thing. If you had a computer then you could pull codes from the parking aid module and find out what was wrong. Other then that just make sure they are clean and not damaged make sure the connectors are all seated. Other then that you would need to have a shop tell you exactly which sensor was bad. It is most likely one sensor but could be a harness issue also. Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop .

That's really a terrible situation, I guess you have made the best choice, go ahead with the repair and than sell it to avoid the same situation.
