HI
I found something the other day on alldatadiy.com I don't know if it's always been there or not as my subscription had run out and I've recently renewed it. Anyway, if you click on the trouble code link on the right side of the screen it opens up a huge list of trouble codes. Clicking on the individual code will then open up a quick description of the code along with a troubleshooting modality with step by step instructions. It lists expected voltage readings, resistance of components etc. This is a really helpful tool as the DTC only gives a very general bit of info.
If this is old news, sorry for posting but I've never before noticed this nor have I seen it mentioned on this site. With alldatadiy.com 1 yr subscriptions easily had for $10/year, it's a fantastic investment.
and no, I have no affiliation with alldata.. just an affiliation with my hard earned $$ and and obligation to keeping a 2000 windstar on the road as long as possible! :runaround:
