For months, the ABS light and traction control lights come on intermittently. Currently the lights are staying on and it must be jumped to start. The battery was checked and was okay. Something is draining the battery.

Abs and brake lights have been off and on for years. Have had the brakes looked at many times and they are always said to be fine. Today, while driving along, the radio went off when I rolled up the window...thought that was strange so opened window....radio back on, closed window....radio off. Thankfully I was very close to home as the windows stopped opening and closing, radio shut off, odometer reading disappeared, clock lights disappeared. I made it to the driveway, turned it off and it did not turn back on. Came inside and started to search "2001 ford windstar ABS and brake lights on"......I'm appalled at how many complaints I have found. Husband and friend did a check and it may be the alternator....but after what I've read we will definitely be checking for fluid in the ABS control module. If it turns out it is the ABS control module (after reading the numerous complaints) I will be calling ford to let them know what I think. For many, many years we let ford service our van and I swear after each service we ended up with another problem within weeks of the service. I've not had trust in our local ford dealership for a long time. Based on what I've read in the last 2 to 3 hours I am completely shocked and saddened that ford hasn't stepped up and offered to rectify this problem. I love my windstar! As long as we can be certain that it is still safe to drive we will keep it on the road. But when it is time.....we will never do business with ford again.
