Won't start how ? When you turn the key to start does the starter engage the engine an spin the engine ? Crank - no - start or a no crank - no start ?

SOURCE: ford windstar wont start

TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IF IT STARTS YOUR NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH HAS MALFUNCTION, OTHERWISE ITS MORE THAN LIKELY THE STARTER, TRY BOTH KEYS ,THE COMPUTER COULD HAVE LOST THE CODE IN THE KEY

SOURCE: I just replaced the battery and the alternator on

Your alternator is not putting out any power. To check the alternator, when the motor is running, check the voltage at the battery. If the voltage is not between 13.8 and 14.2 volts, the alternator is malfunctioning. Chances are that the alternator killed your last battery. Make sure that the belt is at the proper tension so that the alternator is producing the voltage neccessary to charge the battery.

SOURCE: We were driving down the freeway when the ODT

I would have the vehicle scanned to find out why the od light was flashing. When the light flashes there will be a diagnostic code stored in the engine computer. It sounds like the transmission overheated for some reason and vented the fluid. By the time you added fluid the transmission and started driving the transmission cooled down and quit leaking.

No not at all. The problem may be with the anti-theft system. Sometimes in older cars, especially Dodges', the theft system starts to act up even though you put the key in the ignition. You may want to have it checked out at the dealership, shouldn't cost that much just to have it looked at.

SOURCE: anti-theft alarm goes off, lights flash, horn

It's going to have to be looked at. But you can try unlocking a different door with the key. Hold it to the left (unlock position) for 2 or three seconds. Should shut off the alarm and allow you to start it.

I have a 2003 windstar . all at once as I started

what does ford dealer say about the issue? call the service guy, if he sez" bring it in", do not bother. pull off both the + and - battery cables. Let stand for a few minutes, clean the battery posts while u wait. clean inside of cable connections. put a lil Vaseline on the battery posts. then reconnect. if no-start condition still exists, hav car scanned. advanced auto will scan for free?! lol.

Coil may be getting warm and causing ingition problems. Charging system may not be working properly. Alt and or battery issues. Brain box may be starting to go. Ignition relays for the continous power to run position may be weak and all else fails answer a short.
