Some Ford Windstar owners report experiencing various brake-related issues, including the brake light staying on and problems with the ABS warning light. These issues may manifest as a beeping sound indicating the need for brake replacement and drum rotation, which could stem from complications within the brake system. Additionally, improper installation of new brakes, drums, and spring kits can lead to problems such as loss of rotation after tightening the lug nuts. Some owners also notice loud thumping noises from the rear passenger side brakes following the replacement of drum, shoes, and hardware, suggesting potential issues with those components. To address these concerns, it is recommended that owners check the brake fluid level, ensure proper installation and adjustment of brake components, and verify the absence of leaks in the brake system. If these measures do not resolve the issues, consulting a mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair may be necessary.
