Tl* the contact owns a 2000 ford windstar. while driving various speeds, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and the abs sensor indicator remained illuminated. as a result, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly. while the vehicle was undergoing routine service, the independent mechanic also discovered that the front driver side control arm was damaged and needed to be replaced. the cause of the failures was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
The abs light come on periodically. it seems that there is a problem in the abs module with a soldering joint. this happens when the vehicle is in motion. the abs warning light will stay on and disappear when the car is parked and switched off. then the light will come on again after the vehicle is moved.

A.b.s. light on. suspension broken in right front tire. dashboard gauges not working properly
The abs and traction system lights come on and stay on. if i turn the vehicle off and restart it sometimes the warning lights will go off but this is inconsistent at best. if i hit a bump the systems will go off. it does seem worse after the vehicle warms up. my biggest concern is failure of my braking system. *tr
Having abs and electrical problems. over drive lights was blinking so i had a full scan done. abs system shows about 12 error codes and the abs light wasn't on. check the light and the light works. the mechanic seems to not to understand the problem. this problem is very alarming to me because this can be really bad for my family safety. also another code pulled for the alternator overcharging the battery which never turned the check engine on. check engine was proven to work and that was repaired and work to fix it. *tr
My ford windstar has had problems with the abs for a couple of years. it turns on and off on the dashboard randomly. when the abs light is on, the abs is not working. when the abs light is off, the abs is working. i had my mechanic fix this for $850. three weeks later, the new part started doing the same thing. i never know how to brake in an emergency situation because the abs is on some of the time and off some of the time.
I have had an intermittent abs light on in my van. i had the codes read at utozone and they are c1185 c1198 c1194. i have read on some forums that this error is due to a faulty solder joint in the abs module. if this is the case, i think there should be a safety recall by ford. *js
Abs system failure . abs light remains on. *tr
After a little research, i found that this is a very common problem with windstars. there is a switch (called the brake pressure deactivation switch) hooked to the braking system that detects when the brake has been pushed and stops the cruise control accordingly. well? this switch is known to develop leaks, which allows brake fluid to run down into the wiring and cause a short. this blows the fuse which controls the speedometer, a/c, odometer, etc. *tr
Abs light is on again. *tr
The abs light stays on and the brake light goes off and on. *tr
For some reason my instrument panel custard needles started,to bounce up and down for no reason and sometimes its ok.than you be driving and everything its ok, but than there goes the needles bouncing up and down again and than it stops or if i stop at store or gas station and start the ignition again it does it again.problem 2, before the fires on the ford vehicles on the cruise control switch mine had already burned out as i was at the store parking lot i picked up my hood and there was the smoke and short wires below the brake fluid holder i fixed it,on my own than see all the problems on the daily news. this happen when i only hadabout 85000 miles.problem 3, for some reason i'm having with my abs,the light keeps coming on and my brakes don't work right,but when the abs light is off my brakes work fine, i tell you ford can really make sorry vans like the windstar lx model. *tr
