Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD WINDSTAR, 3.8L ENGINE. ABS BRAKE LIGHT ON, NO SPEEDOMETER, NO ODOMETER, NO AIR CONDITIONING. TOOK TO A REPAIR SHOP, THEY FOUND FUSE #10 WAS BLOWN. REPLACED THE FUSE AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME UP FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER AREA, HE REMOVED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PLUG FOR THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. THANKFULLY THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, SO NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET OF SEVERAL WINDSTARS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND BELIEVE FORD SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
