Reload this Page White plug on tranny?

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.

This sounds like the Speed Control Deactivation Switch recall. It is a free replacement.

GET IT DONE ! MANY VEHICLE HAVE BURNED TO THE GROUND (even when not running) BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT !!

Think about it.

Would Ford install a part that did not need to be connected for the vehicle to operate correctly ?

Things might work okay for awhile, but in the long run, it will likely cause problems.
