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.

Default Issue with sliding door closing and reopening halfway?

I have a 99 Windstar SEL, and the passenger side sliding door, when it is pushed to close, closes and then reopens halfway.

Any suggestions on what to look for to fix this issue. I have checked the track to make sure nothing has come inside to block it.

Look in your manual for power door recalibration procedure.

Whenever you disconnect the battery, the power door "forgets" it's position and may need to learn where the door is along the track.

Good Luck, write back

Disconnecting the battery or CJB fuse 6 (15A) will cause the power sliding door control module to lose memory. The power sliding door initialization procedure must be carried out before the power sliding doors will operate under all conditions. The power sliding door initialization procedure is a learning process for the module to identify the full open position and the full close position. After power is restored to the vehicle, initialize the sliding doors as follows:
Make sure both power sliding doors are fully closed and latched.
Make sure both power sliding doors are unlocked.
Make sure the vehicle is in PARK.
Make sure that the fuel filler door is closed.
Switch the overhead console power sliding door On/Off switch to On.
NOTE: The keyless entry transmitter or B-pillar switches may be used in place of the overhead console Open/Close switches to initialize the power sliding doors.

Press the driver and passenger overhead console Open/Close switches to open the driver and passenger power sliding doors.
NOTE: The keyless entry transmitter or B-pillar switches may be used in place of the overhead console Open/Close switches to initialize the power sliding doors.

After the power sliding doors are full open and stopped, press the driver and passenger overhead console Open/Close switches to close the driver and passenger power sliding doors.
