The Ford Windstar is a minivan that was produced and sold by the Ford Motor Company from the 1995 to 2003 model years. This front-wheel drive minivan was the second minivan designed by the company, serving as a replacement for the rear-wheel drive Aerostar minivan. The two were sold concurrently for three model years until the Aerostar's 1997 discontinuation. For the 2004 model year, the third-generation Windstar was introduced as the renamed Freestar. All Windstars were assembled in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Although sold in the Ford car lineup, the Windstar broke from tradition by not having a Lincoln-Mercury counterpart and was completely unrelated to the Mercury Villager. The successor to the Windstar led to the first Ford-developed Mercury minivan, the Mercury Monterey.

www.1aauto.com 1A Auto shows you how to save big fixing an old automotive air conditioning system. Replacing an AC compressor on a 10+ year old car may not make sense. This can cost $400-600. If your air conditioning is broken and your compressor makes a lot of noise save yourself lots of money by installing an AC bypass pulley. This pulley costs about $45 installs in place of your compressor and uses the same belt. This pulley works with 1992-2003 Ford Taurus, 1995-1998 Windstar, 1992-2003 Mercury Sable, and 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental.

The headlight switch is broken on my ford windstar minivan. Instead of replacing it for $67.87, I found that I could just select another setting to have the lights on when they key is in the "started" or on position. More info at phqu.blogspot.com

In thisvideo I give a full in depth tour of 4 different vehicles as part 2 of 4 of my new video series of back lot dealership start ups: a Volvo S80, Cadillac Deville, Ford Windstar, and a pontiac Grand Am SE V6. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of these cars while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicles themselves. I also show the engines and the details of them, start them up and see how they sound under acceleration.

Turn the volume up!!!! This was done to cause "severe internal engine damage caused by running the engine with a sodium silicate (liquid glass) solution instead of oil". This is what happens to the vehicles turned in under the governments CARS program (aka cash for clunkers). A connecting rod broke through the back of the block and the oil got onto the hot cat. converter and caught fire immediately after the engine stopped.
