Abs brake light will turn on and off at random times. Also, brake (e-brake) light comes on, interior lights occasionally flash, all running lights and headlights have gone out (really bad when driving down highway at night), and loss of all electrical (radio, lights, heater fan, dash illumination, headlights, running lights, etc. . . All go out at same time). Alternator and several batteries have been replaced. Electric windows will occasionally stop working as well. Obviously the huge issue here is the fact that the abs system may be disabled, dash warning lights randomly come on and off, and all electrical shuts off, with losing headlights and running lights being the biggest issue!.
After going about 4 miles after starting up van, abs light comes on, occasionally the red brake light will come on too, speedometer goes crazy (up and down) and inside lights flicker at random. Seems to be some sort of electrical issue and/or brake issues.
Abs and brake light comes on all the time and goes back out all the time. The right rear brake light blows out about every two weeks to two months, have replaced about 20 times since buying vehicle. Neighbor has a 2003 Windstar with same problem. Horn failed, connection problem, works off and on. Attempted to get replacement part but was informed not available.

Abs/brake lights are coming on constantly. . . . Losing power. . . . Front/passenger side windows will not work, lights go on and off. . . . .
Lights turn on and of inside the car. The abs light and the brake light on and off. Windows stop working get stuck.
Abs and red internal brake light intermittently light up due to faulty switch. There is an unrelated recall issued for 1998-2003 Windstars but it does not cover this particular problem. Since the recalls was issued have seen that this problem is rampant among Windstar owners. This causes a safety issue as we are told it is just a switch and not to worry but then if there is a problem we are unaware.
Abs and brake light come on when car is running for a while or heated up. Car smells like something is burning.
Abs light and brake light always come on in my Ford Windstar. Fire hazard.
Exterior brakes lights stay on as though the brake pedal is depressed, and even come on by themselves when no one is in the car. When you get in the car, there is a hot, overheated smell in the car. Several mornings I have gotten in the car to find that the battery is dead, and I have to jump the car to start.
On my 2003 Ford Windstar the abs system light is almost always on also my brake light is the same I have had my brakes checked many times I went to a Ford dealer and they said it would cost $500 dollars so I went to a different contractor and they said my brakes are fine please help.
Brake lights (all three) are lighted when no one is in car. It like the break lights stay lit after parking vehicle. You go to get in car and find the break lights are on as if break pedal is depressed. Interior of van smells like electric overheat.
Consumer stated that brake light worked intermittently. Consumer has took vehicle to the dealer and repairs were made. However, problem recurred. The vehicle was hit from the rear because the brake lights failed to come on when applying the brakes.
