problem #3

Windstar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 94,665 miles
While driving down the interstate, moving at a speed of 65 mph, the fuse (10)controlling the speed control module, ABS module, brake shift interlock solenoid, powertrain control module, etc. Etc. Blew. Instantly, I had no speedometer, ABS light came on and my rear A/C began blowing on its own. I have since replaced #10 fuse and it has blown repeatedly. Since this past Friday, I have also learned that my cruise control is no longer functioning. I have done the research and have found from my fellow Ford lemon owners, that this is not an uncommon occurance. I will be replacing the cruise control switch and/or brake pressure switch (which is located by the master cyclinder; which commonly seems to have a short in the circuit due to the wonderful job Ford did designing their vehicles.
