1995-96 WINDSTAR
ISSUE:
Constant power door lock cycling, with no one using them, may occur on some vehicles. This may be due to water in the rear door lock switch, or a
short-to-ground in the circuit before the lock switch.
ACTION:
Seal leak area, or reroute shorted circuit. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Make sure there is nothing in the rear cargo area depressing the lock switch. While in the rear cargo area, feel the carpeting on the left side under
the lock switch for wetness. Inspect the panels for evidence of water entering through a quarter window or the rear hatch area. If any wetness is
detected or suspected, proceed to Step 3.
2.
If every door is cycling, unplug the rear door lock switch. If the cycling stops, proceed to Step 3. If the cycling continues:
a.
Remove the front floor scuff plate near the driver's left heel area. Look for wire chafing of the 14A005 harness on the scuff plate (refer to
the 1996 Windstar Service Manual, Page 18-01-48). Repair any damage, electrical wrap the repaired wires and reroute them under the scuff
plate. If no wiring concern is found in this area, and vehicle has rear climate control, proceed to Step 2b, otherwise proceed to Step 3.
b.
Inspect the 14401-14A488 harness for chafing at the auxiliary blower motor stud, located to the rear of the left side B-pillar. If no wiring
concerns are found, proceed to Step 3.
3.
Raise the liftgate. At the top left of the body, inspect the rubber grommet to make sure its lip is sealing, not rolled. Next to the grommet, inspect
the body flanges for proper sealing bead. There should be no gaps or exposed seams. Use a clear silicone sealing material (D6AZ-19562-AA) to
seal both areas. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes drying time before water testing. Remove and inspect the rear door lock switch. Dry the switch
with forced air. Replace the switch (F58Z-14028-K) if rust is detected.
