Best answer (according to Delilahz)
Still broke down looking for the imrc linkage rods not cheap and can't find em for my van manifold was completely clogged with carbon buildup don't know if it will ever run just paid the insurance to and got it legal plus 600 to get intake cleaned up and a letter for the recall on the axle 16 recalls never been serviced once its a lost cause I feel only hads it a year
Burn it its a death trap almost 2000 dollars in 3 months on it before I seen the Vin report ugh sucks to b me
CommentOpened doors
Ford Windstar 1998 155000 miles
My car indicates opened doors; even when closing all of them, the interior lights stay on and take more than 30 minutes to turn off. Even more, when activating the alarm, it does not sound one time as it should but instead twice, indicating there is an opened door.

Try changing fuse number 1 and greasing the door that appears in the display with a teflon gel spray. Hope it helps.
