Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

lol my radio works the same way, try this:

2.67 amps or milliamps? amps is high, milliamps would be low or good

disconnect the positive lead to the alternator (red wire) and DO NOT tough ground (anything metal) with it. Now measure the amps with the van off. I bet it will drop way down, if it does you need to get a new alternator.

Good Luck, please write back!

I don't get it why people always expect a old vehicle that breaks down to always be covered under some warranty?

If your exhaust tip is larger than your cylinder bore, then you are a Ricer.
