Re: 2000 Windstar Won't Start from Time to Time

It was completely dead. I could hear the fuel flowing. No other sound at all. The usual lights on dash were on when I turned the key.

The non-starting happened twice on 11/28/12, once in the morning and once in the late afternoon after work. I just waited for a few minutes. Then the van started. Any way, I removed the battery and got the rear wiper relay out that evening.

I was able to start the van after that day until this morning. The same old story. I kept trying for a few minutes and the van eventually started. Indeed, it was very frustrating to deal with the intermittent issues like this. Something is wrong. Just don't know what it is.

When you say it doesn't start, is there a "click" or is it completely dead? (as if you never turned the key at all..) Do lights on the dash do anything?
