Abs light and brake light always come on in my ford windstar. Fire hazard.
I own a 2003 ford windstar lx for about the last year and a half the ABS (orange) light and the brake (red) light come on whenever I driver more than about a mile in the summer time it is almost always on I know that this seams to be a problem because there is a web site dedicated to this. I really believe ford needs to do something about this I have taken my van to the ford house and they say they can do nothing.
Brake, ABS, and other lights come on, drive disengages, van will only run in 2nd or low gear until you turn it off then on again. Very dangerous situation as the van loses power and decelerates. Fuse #1 sparks when putting in a fuse. Blows the fuse immediately. Interior light then will not work. Van is currently being looked at by phil long ford.
On my 2003 ford windstar the ABS system light is almost always on also my brake light is the same I have had my brakes checked many times I went to a ford dealer and they said it would cost $500 dollars so I went to a different contractor and they said my brakes are fine please help.
Right side (passenger) front marker light has a grounding problem. I changed the bulb twice and the problem still occurs. The light stays on for no reason and the onboard computer shows that all lights are fine. If you bang it will go out.

Exterior brakes lights stay on as though the brake pedal is depressed, and even come on by themselves when no one is in the car. When you get in the car, there is a hot, overheated smell in the car. Several mornings I have gotten in the car to find that the battery is dead, and I have to jump the car to start.
Brake lights (all three) are lighted when no one is in car. It like the break lights stay lit after parking vehicle. You go to get in car and find the break lights are on as if break pedal is depressed. Interior of van smells like electric overheat.
Consumer 2003 windstar interior light blinks on and off while driving and sometimes will stay. *ts the consumer was told a part called a gem module could replaced.
Message: I have a 2003 ford windstar that is getting water into the left headlight. The water is causing the headlight to deteriorate and effectiveness. I can find no cracks or breakage of the product and feel that this is a defect in ford material or workmanship. Ford refuses to replace the headlight as a warranty or safety item. So I am asking you to check into this problem with 2003 ford windstars. Thanks.
Consumer stated that brake light worked intermittently. Consumer has took vehicle to the dealer and repairs were made. However, problem recurred. The vehicle was hit from the rear because the brake lights failed to come on when applying the brakes.
