Three problems related to ignition module have been reported for the 1996 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When in gear my 1996 Taurus's power windows and radio will not operate. They will operate in neutral or park. When in gear the seat belt light flashes on. The steering becomes tight when this happens, almost as if there is no power steering. When the ignition module died, the other problems stopped for the most part. I notice other similar complaints.
Computer module failed.
Was driving vehicle and spark plugs popped out of engine. Would make a lot of noise. Have taken to dealership twice & mechanic did not know cause of spark plugs popping out.
