Started having wiper issues (intermittent did not work) randomly for a couple weeks, then headlights went out on highway at night with no other cars, first for a couple seconds off then on then off for good after a few more seconds. After another 10 min or so they went back on and stayed on. Also wipers did not work, or radio, windows and door locks. Another time during heavy rain in daytime the system failed again, wipers went off. This was on busy highway. Luckily they went on again after 10s and I was able to see and pull over. Very scary. Happened off and on again. Turned out forward control module was bad. Dealer replaced one I got from junkyard, no more problem.
Message: I have a 2003 Ford Windstar that is getting water into the left headlight. The water is causing the headlight to deteriorate and effectiveness. I can find no cracks or breakage of the product and feel that this is a defect in Ford material or workmanship. Ford refuses to replace the headlight as a warranty or safety item. So I am asking you to check into this problem with 2003 Ford Windstars. Thanks.
