My car has a electrical prob or something it makes my steering hard and won't let windows roll down and makes all lights in flash. Have taken it in to several garages and they can see what's wrong. But do not know what causes it. I have almost been in several accidents. I need help figuring out what this is so I can get it fixed!!!!
The steering wheel makes a noise when I turn right at times. I haven"T had it fixed yet. Sometimes my window on the drivers front won?T roll down. It hasn?T been fixed. The car wouldn?T go forward when you had to stop at a stop sign or light. The transmission has been fixed. The forward clutch piston had to be changed. I couldn?T drive it further as it wouldn"T go forward after I stopped.
Right rear window won't always close after opening. Transmission slips during low speed starts through intersection or parking lot. Feels like it is in neutral. Then when transmission engages, it suddenly lurches chirpping the tires.
All's well in park and neutral, but when in reverse or drive, the radio quits, intermittent wipers fail, windows won't work, loss of about 75% of power steering. Put it in nuetral and all is well. It turned out to be the transmission range sensor. I found 10 other people who have had the same failure in a 96 or 97 Ford Taurus.
The original drivers side window motor was replaced August 3,2000.that motor failed and was replaced on August 25,2000.that motor failed and was replaced on September 26,2000.the first replacement motor was replaced with 45,431 miles on the car. All work has been done by turnpike Ford of gallipolis, Ohio.I have to think that their is another problem.

Power steering intermittent failure; first began when placing shift lever into reverse gear, then later occurred also in forward drive gears. Suspect electrical/electronic problem since radio speakers also go silent and power windows do not operate when this occurs. Discovered that removal of 15amp fuse controlling backup lights/heater return power steering and radio control. All other fuses working properly. Dealer is not yet contacted.
#1 door ajar switch, light in dash stays on and interior lights stay on while driving. #2 window did not work at all, repaired by dealer, #3 window would not roll up, took to dealer, told to take door apart and beat on motor, was able to get window up.
The windshield wipers are multi-speed, but they only run on slow. You have to turn them off and on several tmes to get them to work right.the ignition switch was replaced because when you took the key out the accessories continued to run like the radio would keep on playing with no key in the car.they changed the ignition switch and it helped for a few thousand miles but now the car is out of warranty and the problem is back again.also I am having problems with the power windows.
