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.

Unplug the negative terminal on the battery for half an hour. Reconnect it and the alarm should reset itself.

Went to start my ford ranger and the alarm keeps going off when i turn the key, cant start it, can u help?

I too had this porblem. I[m guessing you changed your battery out. Your car alarm system need 100% power. That small interruption is the cuase of your problems. Look up on your alarm system how to reset the module.

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.

I cant find the fuel reset button in the back right side of my 1999 ford windstar to see if it needs reset. IF I do find it what fuse can i check if its not the problem?

Fuel shut off switch is located in the back of the vehicle on right side where your jack is stored. You have to remove jack and pull out some plastic covers to expose fuel shut off switch.
First Check your fuel pressure on the fuel rail in the engine compartment. Could be your fuel pump malfunctioning.
