2 of the door locks will not function with the power doorlock switches, any of them. They have never worked, and I feel they won't until I fix them. I will post with what does fix them.

problem #1

Windstar ES

  • Automatic transmission
  • 88,700 miles

I always had electrical problems with this van. The inside lights will be on/off sometimes, now is the locks... one door will not work one week, then another... I brought to 3 different mechanic and they told me the same thing... I need to change the electrical harness and/or door latches because there is a short somewhere. I replaced the door latch for the hatch door 2 months ago, and now the that door is working fine. I am very disappointed with Ford cars lately.
