Ford Windstar 1996
 

Ford Windstar, 1995, Power Windows have failed; Passenger Side first. I've checked the fuses, 60A to the Accessory Relay, both 30a on the Fuse Panel. Also power( Pink,and White/Blk) to the Master Switch....all verify as good. I've "swapped" Relays as the Power Door Lock Relay is the same. Relay does not energize....click...when the Master Switch is engaged. I need some direction here. Scamp

I am having the same problem. Drivers door window spuratically work and when it doesn't my wipers don't or interior lights don't work.

1995 ford windstar electrical problems
 

my drivers side window only works sometimes and when it doesn't my wipers don't work or my interior lights. Please advise

check for shorts and chafed cables in particular near the fuse boxes and where harnesses go through holes in the body.

It is just a best guess. Electrical problems are frustrating.

My 96 windy blew the tranny. How do i fix problem??
:cool:

Buy another vehicle.

I honestly feel that way about the Windstars. In particular about the 1st generation.

Now if yours is in particular good shape otherwise and if has extra low mileage, than it may be worth while to replace the tranny with a rebuilt one. According to the Haynes manual the home mechanic could pull the tranny and put another one in, but the innards would be best left to a tranny shop. Jo's Windstar Transmission - YouTube

Who diagnosed your blown transmission? "Blown transmission" is a catch all term. Maybe there is something electrical not working? or is it shot mechanically?


I have an 03 Windstar, its doing alright and it looks great inside, and decent enough outside, but it is rusting and if my tranny blew it would be gone-junk yard most likely.

I am in a situation where I can downsize to a family sedan. That would save me almost $100 per month in fuel. (20mpg vs 30 mpg, 20000miles per year).

How is your situation?
