If you are turning the key to the start position and you hear nothing then it would seem that the solenoid relay is not getting any power. this could be the theft system or simply a bad solenoid or a break in the circuitry to the solenoid. It could also be a problem with the starter motor or associated wiring. |

The theft light is off all the time, sometimes when i get in the car and turn ignition on the treft light flashes rapidly and i have no start condition. When it starts fine, no light is present.

Re: 2000 Ford Windstar Intermitent no start/theft flashing
We had this very same problem today with our 2000 Ford Windstar SEL.
Our problem ended up being the automatic slide door was not shut completely. Our two year old decided it was a good place to cram one of his toys. =) I haven't tested it yet, but I'm assuming that if the automatic sliding doors are open the van cannot be started. Just thought that may give you something else to take into consideration. |
