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.

Speedometer bouncing

Ford Windstar 2002 Windstar 3.8 18000 miles
The speedometer bounces while driving down the road won't get much over 20 to 30 mph on the speedometer but the van drives just fine but it triggers the cruise control when the cruise control is set

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.

Problem with the RPM (revolutions per minute)

Ford Windstar 2001  190000 miles
When starting the car, the revolutions are around 2000 per minute and it takes quite a long time, around 15 seconds or more, to desaccelerate. This happens no matter whether I start it when cold or warm. Even more, when the vehicle is stopped, in a traffic light for example, and in Drive mode, rpm range between 500 and 900, and the engine sometimes stalls. An interesting detail is that, when connecting the air conditioning, revolutions stabilize. IAC, EGR and TPS valves have been checked and all their signals seem to be right. Vacuum hoses have also been checked but the problem remains. Does somebody know anything about it?

This same happened to me and this was done: spark plugs wiring as well as the IAC valve were changed and my problem was solved.
