Ignition problems of the 2000 Ford Windstar

Experienced blown #10 fuse in 2000 Ford Windstar today, 2/25/09. Lost speedometer, odometer, abs light on, lost cruise control, a/c blew hot air. Replacement fuse blew upon turning ignition to on. Found leaking brake pressure switch beneath master cylinder. I disconnected the pressure switch and fuse #10, which restored speedometer, odometer, and the abs light is out. The fuse held for a brief test drive. Will replace pressure switch.

My 2 1/2 year old son put the keys into the ignition,turned it to position 3,grabbed the gear shift and pulled it out of park without pressing the brake. The van rolled out of the driveway accross the street into the woods stopping once it hit a tree. I have checked into this myself and was able to pull the gear shift out of park numerous times without my foot on the brake in position 3. I called Ford motor company they will not do anything about it since there is no recall. Also talked to a Ford dealership and in order for them to look at it we will have to pay. We cannot afford this and feel they should check it out in case this is a start of a recall.

Vehicle shut down without prior warning. Dashboard panel will flash on and off, and vehicle will beep. Dealership is aware of problem.

Manufacturer states; van is built to their specifactions, thus there is nothing wrong with it. No safety defect listed.

Parked vehicle/turned vehicle off/ removed key and accessory position would still be engaged. This affected power windows/radio/ windshield wipers & anything thing electronic. Contacted & been to dealership for 5 1/2 weeks. Issue could not be resolved. The manufacturer report indicates that there is 5 minutes waiting time before key is removed, which makes it dangerous if some one unknowingly removes the key immediately after parking.
