What kind of braking system does a Windstar have?

The Ford Windstar was a minivan that Ford manufactured from from 1994 to 2003. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) was a standard feature for all versions of the Windstar. An ABS requires a computer, or control module, to control the braking force that the wheels receive when they begin to lose traction.

How do you remove an ABS module from a car?

Disconnect the shroud for the radiator fan. Detach the wiring harness for the ABS control module, then remove the retaining screws from the ABS control module with a socket wrench. Pull the module forward so that its coils clear the valve solenoids in the engine compartment, and remove the module from the vehicle.

How do you connect an ABS control module to a radiator?

Push the coils of the ABS control module against the solenoid valves. Fasten the retaining screws for the ABS control module, and tighten them to between 35 and 44 inch-pounds with a torque wrench. Attach the wiring harness for the ABS control module, and connect the shroud for the radiator fan with a socket wrench.
