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 Totally dead 2000 Windstar 3.8 L engine

Just completed replacement of gaskets to trans and oil pan. Also replaced fans. Car started fine after battery replacement. Drove 50 feet and it died, solid. No power in any part of car. Battery shows OK. Cannot get it to crank. Have several ideas but need more than ideas and old diagrams from Chiltons and others. '
'

ANy ideas? Need to get this vehicle alive again, quickly.

all you did was change the pan gaskets on the tranny and engine? You sure you filled them with the correct fluid/amount of fluid??
