98 windstar 3.8 problems - CarGurus

abs unit fault. could be the connector the seals do fail on them. you will need to take the connector plug off the unit clean it and check the seal.

If the speedometer does work, but the odometer doesn't work, then you have a bad speedometer head assembly. The speedo head is a microprocessor that gathers the info coming from the vehicle speed sensor and translates it for you on the speedo and the odo. If one is working, but the other isn't, then it is getting the VSS signal, it just isn't processing it right. You could also be experiencing the below issue: The Brake Pressure Differential Deactivation Switch (SCDS) (2B264) located under the Master Cylinder (Behind the Air Filter) over time develops a leak. This causes a short and a fuse trip, fuse #10 if the engine is on. This leak also causes brake fluid to wick down two wires to the ABS brake module (2C219). The fluid accumulates on the (always on) power connectors for the ABS brake system which are powered by fuses 101 and 102 and are both 40 amp. The fluid attacts moisture, road salt and leads to a fire when the fluid and moisture act as conductor between the hot leads and ground. This switch has been the subject of other Ford Recalls, just not the Windstar van yet. Below is a picture of the switch in question. Notice the fluid that leaked on the part below it. This switch will cause cruise control problems, speedometer, odometer and ABS brake system problems.

O/D blinking indicates that there is low transmission fluid in the system ABS light comes on when there is a problem with the ABS system, most times the tooth ring has broken

The sensor codes have to be read off a computer to see the problem, either speed sensor, sounds more like ABS module. Locate the main fuse/control box under hood. There should be either a relay or large fuse marked for abs.Good Luck.Please rate me as ' helpful ' if satisfied.

MOST OF THE TIME WHEN ABS LIGHT AND TRAC LIGHT TURNS ON.YOU COULD HAVE A BAD WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.BEST TO TAKE CAR TO DEALERSHIP LET THEM DO CODE SCAN ON ABS BRAKE SYSTEM TO SEE WHAT CAUSING THE ABS AND TRAC LIGHT TO TURN ON.

In my windstar i had the same poblem, it was a broken wire by the front wheel, for the wheel speed sensor, mine was on the pas side, but either one could do it, just remove the tire and inspect the wires to the wheelbearing

I hope this helps you, please help me by leaving feedback, thank you

your whole abs system dropped and you have to start with each wheel and bleed them so you can get you full abs system back up and have full pedal

Have you had anyone try to clean and adjust the rear brakes? You will need a shop to scan the van for ABS codes first to cure the ABS light.
