This is my first thread...
I succesfully performed the TSB lekemby.com (http://www.lekemby.com) repair on my 01 Windstar this Sat. in 3 hours solo. Everything went smoothly until I had to disconnect the cruise control wire from the bracket attached to the plenum.
It snapped off in my hands, breaking the cable near the boot that is on the bracket attached to the plenum. I can't fix it, I think, without buying a new cable. Am I right?
Anyone had to do this , and what I am looking at for the part, time to fix, if I try it myself.
BTW Changed the rear plugs from below ( you have to have skinny arms and small hands) , and didn't remove the wipers/cowl for the TSB with no problem, just had to pry the thing up when sliding out the top plenum.....
Pinging is gone, knocking is gone, Check engine light is gone, runs soooo good now.
