My 2000 Windstar suddenly lost its speedometer, odometer and the ABS light all came on at same time. Heater also doesn't work, you don't have to put your foot on the brake to shift and I believe the backup sensors are inop.
Seems too weird that all this went down at same time. Long block engne new last year
Thanks for any help

I know windstars have a new wirinr harness kit and speed control deactivator swith, these are at the master cylinder, the switch leaks brake fluid into the connector, and this in turn creates most if not all these other symtoms, I think the kit costs 20-30 dollars at the dealer, hurry before they close!
