I have a 2000 Ford Windstar andit won't start or turn over and I think the alarm system has to be reset any ideas

If it is the factory system that needs to be reset, unfortunately you will need a Ford IDS, which most large shops have or your local Ford dealer. If it is the aftermarket alarm system that needs resetting, then you need and authorized dealer of that alarm system.

see if this link helps you.

Mine did the same thing And it was the fuel pump relay

This is a wild guess, but disconnect the positive terminal from your battery. Touch the cable (that went to the positive) to the negative, to drain out any capacitor in the system that is holding charge. I think you have to short it that way for about 10 seconds. Reconnect cable to positive and start car.

That will reset your computer and should reset the alarm as well.

You need to adjust the Switch, it thinks you are in Gear

Your problem sounds exactly like my problem on my 2000 windstar. I dont know if I did anything but on mine electrical power has been restored. The reason I say I don't know if I did anything is everything fuses, relays, fuse links, etc all checked out okay. I noticed on mine a strange thing I have voltage on my ground ( it sparks whenever I disconnect reconnect any ground wire. In fact I think this is what caused my power to come back on line when I was doing just that with the ground connections. I then found that my van turns over nicely with the new battery I installed. I have fire on the cylinders I checked. I even can start my van now holding down manually the relay that controls the fuel pump. I now think all of these odd things are resulting from the computer(PCM). If you think we can help each other further please feel free to email me at [email protected].

This happened to to me with my ranger. I went and bought in ignition and a junk yard and no problems after that. That way your not out of a lot of money.

The car alarm on your 2000 Windstar minivan is wired into your van's battery. When you are making a repair to your car such as a battery change out your alarm can go off. You can easily disable the Windstar's car alarm by disconnecting the battery from the alarm. The battery is connected to the Windstar battery's negative terminal. Disconnecting the terminal from the battery will disable the alarm.

• Socket wrench

1. 1 Raise the hood of the Windstar to gain access to the battery.
   
2. 2 Loosen the negative battery terminal labeled with a "-" with a socket wrench.
   
3. 3 Disconnect the terminal from the battery to disable the alarm system.
   

every time you turn the ignition key to on the system is reset, so if the security light is flashing with a no start u have a hard fault in the system.

un hook battery and wait about an hour or so and use factory key if wont fix dealer has to reset.
