- Windstar TSB From Ford - This TSB describes the battery going dead issue. It is meant for dealer service shops.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
My 2003 Ford Windstar Cargo Van seems to have a Wiring Harness issue. The car has had several Alternators replaced in very short periods of time. I replaced the Battery which didn't fix the problem. Brand new batteries would go dead after driving miles. Had several mechanics who had at one time had the same model with same issues.
Purchased the van in May 2017 and immediately had to replace the Alternator which went bad around July or August. Replaced again around January 2018 and this one didn't even last 1 month.
1. Initially when barely pressing the brakes or going over railroad tracks the BRAKE & ABS lights would light up. Now they do not go out unless car is off. Then come on when I turn the car on
2.ENGINE light would light up
3. BATTERY LIGHT recently lit up and the Battery was brand new and was tested good. Alternator on the other hand reads bad.
Help please.
