SOURCE: 2000 ford windstar wont start

Wild guess but the car will not start if it does not get the in "Park" or "Neutral" signal from the column switch. check for that it may just be so.

SOURCE: changed starter in 2000 windstar ceanks now but

When you say cranks or turns over,you are
referring to the same thing
That being the starter motor rotating the engine

Not actually staring on it's own or the cylinders firing, is
what your asking

You have a check light on
Now you should check to see what,
if any codes you may have,and then
diagnose to see if they are related to the
starting issue.

You need to adjust the Switch, it thinks you are in Gear

2000 windstar with a 3.8 motor cranks slow then stops and no start .Acts like a dead battery battery is good what can it be?

Bad connection or corroded cables, possibly a bad starter. Sounds like something is drawing more amps than the battery is capable of supplying.

My 2000 Windstar runs well for first 20-30 mins then it starts to have engine knock it is also using oil but not burning it. Doesn't smoke doesn't show any signs of leaks under car either

Check your engine coolant. If its brown you may have a blown head gasket which is causing it to leak into the cooling system. (expensive fix) but if it's not brown I'd take it to a mechanic and have further inspection. Hope this helps:)

2000 FORD WINDSTAR will not start

Try crossing the largher of the two posts on the solenoid switch neer the battery or on the fierwall under a plastic cover.If the starter cranks the,replace the solenoid,if there is still no cranking happening replace the starter[better yet the starter brushes,way cheaper].If the van turns over but doesn't go then get back to me.

My 2000 Ford Windstar LX is randomly losing all power & shutting down for 2-5 seconds while driving. Everything stops working ( like theres no battery in the car ), then it comes back and starts right...

If you just had your battery replaced recently before that, Either your positive or negitive terminal is probably loose and needs tightened. It may get jarred around, and do that shutdown your 2-3 times, until something jars it to a better connecting position.

I REPLACED THE CLUSTER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO PROGRAM IT BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START DUE TO THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM..IM NOT SURE IF THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM BUT IT IS IDENTICAL TO MINE AND I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS..
P.S.-I GOT MY CLUSTER AT A JUNKYARD BECAUSE A NEW ONE CAN BE PRICEY !!
