I was stopped at a stoplight, and when the light turned green, my van would not go. It made no strange noises, it just would not drive.
The car starts perfectly and seems to run just fine, but will not drive when put in gear. Any help?
A pin or something like that came loose in the steering column where the gear shift moves.
It happened to mine and a mechanic opened it up an put it back and tighten the bolts.
Does your **** rod move very loose and wobbly when you move it into
different gears? That's how mine was for a very long time until a screw
or nut (forgot) fell out from the steering column.

Too many possibilities and limited information. Does the engine still run and the car does not move? Or is the engine not running so that the car stopped? Repost the question with additional information.

I have a 98 Windstar and it would die when pulling up to a stop sign, slowing when coming to a stop or making a slow turn. According to Ford recall 98E03 EMISSIONS RECALL some vehicles may stall during deceleration when coming to a stop, during slow speed parking maneuvers and/or coasting thru slow sweeping turns. This may be caused by the Powertrain Contro lModule (PCM) calibration dropping the rpms too quickly during deceleration. This involves reprograming the PCM. The revised calibration will allow the engine rpms to drop slowly during low speed maneuvers to reduce the possibility of a stall. Call your local FORD dealership (have your VIN handy) and have them check to see if this recall has been performed on your vehicle.
replace TRS (transmission range sensor) and or VSS (in the back of the engine behind the catalytic converter) its a pain to replace. hard to get at and theres an annoying steel cover to deal with
use DTC reader to confirm
CHECK THE DIMMER SWITCH. THE SWITCH MAY BE "STUCK IN HIGH BEAM POSITION. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED. ANOTHER THING TO CHECK FIRST IS THE HIGH BEAM RELAY. THIS MAY BE UNDER THE HOOD IN A FUSE PANEL OR UNDER THE DASH. HOPE THIS SHEDS SOME "LIGHT" ON THE SUBJECT..lol
at the minimum, since you mentioned all the idiot lights coming on, your alternator is fried. have someone put in a new alternator. if it's still acting up, have someone go over the computer.
All these systems are controlled by the GEM, that is the Generic Electronic Module, have Kragen run a quick test and see if the system has codes, but most likely the Module is defective, it is located on top of the fuse panel to the left of the steering column. I have 30 years as a Ford tech so I am pretty darn sure of this diagnose.
already done this---the fluid is fine--any other ideas?
