2000 Windstar weird electrical stuff

[sam-d]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While driving, the abs and traction control lights came on. Then all the dash lights started to flicker on and off. The odometer and the messege center went off. When I got home, i turd the car, and tried to restart it. It made that cliclikng noise like the battery was bad (just replaced it in October). I cleaned off the positive post, and let it sit. This morning, it started fine. About a 1/2 mile down the road, the symptoms started again. I got home, and the same thing happened with clicking noises. All of the gauges went wacky (speedo, tach, oil needles went sweeping back and forth).

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks

My 2000 windstar had similar symptoms. The cruise control had shorted out and the Brake pressure sensor had shorted out replaced both after diagnostics and parts and labor, over $1500.
