1997 Ford Taurus visibility problems

Filed Apr 10, 2008 · Electrical, Visibility · IL

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.

The consumer states that the windsheild wipers while on high or low speed will go into intermittent mode. Which started happening after he had purchased the vehicle. (each time he would take the vehicle in for repairs, it would work okay) the consumer had taken the vehicle back to the dealer and it went on intermittent mode while on high or low speed wiper mode. They installed switch part #xw3z-13359-caswitch 357698-1ea, which worked for a while, but eventually started again.-some what after repair, but less than often

Consumer states that the vehicle has problems with the windshield motor wiper also states that the dealer has been notified. *mrwhile operating on high or low speed, will go to interval wiper mode. Consumer has taken vehicle to the dealer several times. Finally, the dealer was able to duplicate the problem and a switch was installed. Some time after the repair, the problem started again, this time not as often.

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.
