Hi there,
I work on semi-tractors for a living, I play around with automotive stuff occasionally. I just looked at friends 2001 Windstar 3.8l with some weird issues, after googling around i see this isn't the only Windstar with electrical problems, however i couldn't find anyone who has had these specific problems.
After turning the key off, taking it out of the ignition, sometimes the radio will come on after awhile, sometimes the 4 ways start going off, leaving the battery dead. Sometimes upon key-on the gauges go goofy and erratic. It seems like this vehicle has a FEM(front electric module), could that be defective? The battery is good, alternator is putting out 14.30 Volts. I checked all the obvious connections under the hood. Where do I go from here? Any Info is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
