I know that you can take a light tester ant check the different poles of the relay. You need to google the relay about a diagram.

What I always do is to take a relay with the same amps out of the fuse panel and just swap them out,As long as you don’t have any major electrical issues!

Have a hot and a ground power source, I take a fused wire and a good ground and go to the motor and see if it is the wiring or the motor.

Thx , haven't really messed with it anymore. Heating and air are excellent. All we really use it for is to haul our doggy whenever. Thanks I'll try it.
But it just seems odd all four motors quit at the same time. Thx again.

If that is the case it’s probably a relay in the fuse box under the hood or dashboard. You could try swapping it out with another relay of the same amperage to see if that works. If not then you may have a break in your positive lead to your main switch. I would check the relay first before doing anything else.

Opened doors

Ford Windstar 1998  155000 miles
My car indicates opened doors; even when closing all of them, the interior lights stay on and take more than 30 minutes to turn off. Even more, when activating the alarm, it does not sound one time as it should but instead twice, indicating there is an opened door.

Try changing fuse number 1 and greasing the door that appears in the display with a teflon gel spray. Hope it helps.

Opened door

Ford Windstar 1995  18274 miles
My car indicates an open door and, when checking the light of the rear door, it does not turn off when closing it. I do not know if it is a door lock problem or a fuse failure. The thing is I don't know either which is the corresponding fuse because, when all the doors are closed, the lights turn off only after 20 or 30 minutes approximately. If anyone could give me a hand I would be really glad. Thank you.

Hi, Ford vehicles have failures in the door triggers which are located in its closing sheet. It is a bit hard to solve it: you first need to locate the failing door and then clean the trigger with a lubricant. Good luck.

I have a 2001 and this is what I did when this happened to me: first I changed the current terminal as it was old and then I changed the fuse number 1. The interior lights and door locks problems were solved.

Doors won't close

Ford Windstar 1999  100000 miles
The car's automatic sliding doors do not close any more. When they return to their closed position, they inmediately open again as though the door locks that keeps them close were not working.

In my case, this problem was caused by a blown fuse.

I had to change the passenger mirror and rewire it and now drivers side driving light stays on. There were 2 black wires and 2 white wires, would it be because i wired one of them backwards?
