Lights have mind of own? - 2003 Ford Windstar

The light does not have a fuse.
If you don't mind that your airbag is malfunctioning, disconnect the light.

items come to mind Low oil in the m/ resevoir and abs not working . Check for fault codes and have the abs checked out. You may have a blown stop light as well.

Gday ate, geoff here, well it would seem that the brake lights are trying to earth through the park light system as they are in the same socket in the rear, check the earths from the light pack at the rear, and the then go from there tracing the earth circut even to the point of cleaning rust, mould/moss from them,geoff.

Keep in mind that two warning there, Check Engine and Service Engine Soon; Check Engine means there is a malfunction... Service Soon is reprogrammable, when you change you oil.

"Check Engine" are refer to the emission codes, but not always. I suggest visit some autozone ot autoshop with scan tools or "reader code" to know exactly what fault code is stored there. With this code number we could send you additional details.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

First I suggest check fuses; keep in mind that this information is in the Owners Manual.

If you have any other questions or need that we send you some fuse diagram, please feel free to get back to CONTACT US HERE.

Hi George, keep in mind that a check engine light is a warning sign that something within your engine, fuel or emissions system is not operating correctly. While most check engine lights do not point to dire problems that would cause your vehicle to break down, some do.

Check engine lights are usually an indicator of an emission-related problem. Check engine lights can cause your vehicle to perform inefficiently and fail an emissions test.

Also, the check engine light is reserved only for Powertrain problems that could have an impact on the emissions systems. Exactly what the OBD system looks for depends on the make, model and year. The original systems varied widely in their capabilities. Some did little more than check whether the various electronic sensors and actuators were hooked up and working.

I suggest scanned the PCM computer (Powertrain COntrol Module) to know exactly what fault code is stored there.

SRS (airbag) light needs to be reset by dealer or a really good specialty shop. It's a safety issue. Keep in mind if light comes back on you DO have a problem with your SRS and it needs to be addressed.

If the battery/charging system light was tripped by the computer, it will take a obd2 scanner to turn it off.Keep in mind that the light indicates a problem with the charging system and not the battery in specific.
A volt meter place on the positive and neg battery terminals with engine running will give you the output reading for the alternator. The charging voltage should be between 13.6 to 14.2 volts. Keep this in mind, the lower the voltage, the higher the amperage going into the battery. So, if the charge rate is 15 Volts, There are o amps and the voltage without the amps Will fry the battery and the excess voltage can damage other accessories as we as lighting.Good Luck. If need arises I'm here. Ned
