Windstar

  • miles
1. brake light came on and I had to have the brake reservoir filled. 2. brake fluid was leaking from pressure switch. It caused an electrical short, which caused a fire while the van was in the basement garage. I noticed the smell of smoke while unloading the van and was able to locate its source and disconnected the battery cables. 3. I called the Ford dealer I purchased the van from, they said there was no recall on my van at this time, and they could sell me a pressure switch. I purchased the switch. Then dropped the van off at the mechanic I use, and he replaced it.
