| 1995 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS | ABS BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE IS A METAL TO METAL GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE CALIPERS WERE REBUILT TWICE, IN 8/96 & 4/97. THE BRAKES PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AGAIN AT 43,000 MILES. *AK |
| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE LIGHT | I HAVE A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR AND THE FUSE #10 KEPT BLOWING AND THE A/C, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, ETC.. STOPPED WORKING. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET I FOUND THE CULPRIT WAS A LEAKY BRAKE PRESSURE DEACTIVATION SWITCH, WHICH ONCE I DISCONNECTED IT THE FUSE STOPPED TRIPPING AND THE AC AND DASHBOARD WORKED. I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PRESSURE DEACTIVATION SWITCH HAS LEAKED AND ALSO CORRODED AND STARTED TO MELT THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRES, WHICH HASN'T WORKED IN A WHILE, AND THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A KNOWN FIRE HAZARD BY FORD AND THERE IS NOT YET A RECALL THOUGH IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO REMOVE FUSES 101 AND 102 TO PREVENT A FIRE AND WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PRESSURE DEACTIVATION SWITCH AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR |
