My 2003 Ford Windstar has been continuously giving my electrical problems. First the rear parking sensors disengage when in reverse. While driving the ABS, brake and traction control lights come on the dashboard. I'm not sure what it does, but the vehicle does then not function properly. The traction control and brakes don't seem to be working properly.

ABS warning light comes on randomly, and will not go off until I turn the engine off; dealer told me it was some sort of problem with the ABS control module shorting out and sending a signal to the dashboard indicator light, but since it comes on every time I drive the car almost, I now never know whether there is a problem with my brakes, or it is just the warning light acting up.

I have a 2003 Ford Windstar sel. The vehicle has been having an intermittent problem with the ABS light coming on after start up and also while driving. The vehicle was brought to a local Ford dealer where I was told the ABS module would need to be replaced. After receiving a quote for $800+, I decided to search the internet to see if this may be a common problem. Come to find out, this is a very common problem and no one has had luck with fixing the issue (not even the dealers). I do not feel that a known problem like this should be the responsibility of the consumer. Ford should acknowledge that there is a problem and at least offer info on how to get it repaired correctly or fixing it themselves. This is one of many Ford vehicles in which we have had over the years and is by far the most problematic. No repairs have been attempted due to a lack in trust in dealers and part not being covered by extended warranty. Judging by the info on the internet, it seems like it is mainly problems with vehicles from the northern United States.

I have a 2003 Ford Windstar. At least a year ago my brake and ABS lights started illuminating. They came on intermittently. I had the ABS system scanned once and was told the ABS relay was bad. I haven't replaced the relay because the brakes work fine. I think the ABS works fine too. My research on-line indicates that this is a common problem with these vehicles.

My 2003 Ford Windstar continues to smoke and the ABS and brake lights keep coming on. It also has electrical problems because the interior lights continue on flashing and the door locks sometimes do not work properly. The problem seems to be a widely experienced issue because I have found numerous websites describing these issues.

I have a 2003 Ford Windstar. The ABS & brake light comes on & off very often and hear the clicking noise on the front wheel. Mechanic checked and got code C1185. The antilock brake system power relay output circuit malfunction. The ABS malfunction seriously put my life in danger. I am scared when I drive it.

03 Ford Windstar- the yellow ABS light and red brake light appear while driving. It seems to happen at random. In researching the issue online it appears many other Windstar owners have had this same issue. I have not done anything to correct the issue as of yet.

ABS and brake light on after brake service on 2003 Ford Windstar. Car is in shop for the 3rd time.

In February, 2009 I noted that the ABS and E-brake warning lamps would illuminate when driving. Computer code analysis reflected the need to replace the driver's side wheel speed sensor. I replaced the sensor. The lights continue to illuminate each time the vehicle is driven. Also, the interior lights flash randomly and are very distractive. I have turned off the interior light switch to eliminate this problem.
