Problem overview

Some Ford Windstar owners report experiencing a range of electrical issues, including a persistent ABS light, erratic flashing interior lights, and door lock malfunctions. Many have noted that the ABS indicator lamp often remains on, which may indicate the need for repair or rebuilding of the ABS module, especially if the wheel speed sensor is malfunctioning. Additionally, some owners have reported concerns over interior lights flashing on and off, particularly at night, which may be attributed to the vehicle's age. Furthermore, issues with the driver's door lock not functioning properly and the necessity of slamming the back door due to sensor problems have also been reported. These electrical issues can be frustrating and may require professional diagnosis and repair to resolve effectively.
