The Overdrive light flashing is an electronic issue rather than a mechanical one, unless a solenoid has failed. Thar can be checked by an auto electrician armed with a $5,000 bi-directional scan tool computer. They can instruct all the solenoids to work and verify that they did. There may also be readable DTC codes. When you emptied the transmission, did you measure the fluid that came out of it and replace it with exactly the same amount? It looks like whatever the electrical issue is, it is stopping you from driving. https://www.google.com/search?q=2003+Ford+Windstar+over+drive+light+flashing https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Check the transmission fluid and make sure it is both at the correct level and that it is not burnt smelling or brown. It should be a reddish color. A fluid flush and transmission filter change may be in order.

The problem usually lies in the tee fitting that goes to the reservor they use a short piece of rubber hose that cracks and leaks this is the kicker very difficult to get to its between the firewall and the floorboard on passenger side. What will work to fix it on the cheap is take it loose before it goes into the firewall on passenger side engine compartment its a red hard plastic vacuum line that goes into a rubber connector turns black then runs into firewall disconnect there are anywhere on that line and find a place for your new vacuum line to go through the firewall on drivers side about a 3ft piece will work then under dash you'll find cluster whare a bunch of vacuum lines plug in just unplug the black one its the other end of the one you pulled off.and plug new line in. Fixed dont really need the reservor anyway.

test the fuses first

it is probably going to be in the central junction box under the hood. relay number C2075

Go to your owners manual It tells you how to do it

Check battery cables and clean them also if you did disconnect them and didn't use your key fob to stop the horn /alarm when you reconnected them your in theft mode

How do u rest and keypad pine to a van or get one for my van it's a 2003 windstar Ford van

could be cam sensor or timing belt/chain is out of tolerance. the ecm checks the cam and crank sensor to make sure they are working in unison. when the belt/chain stretches the sensors will pick it up.

sounds like a fuel delivery problem, have you had the OBD read ?the backfire could be a symptom of timing out or misfire so need to check a few things

is the check engine light on? and if so what are the codes? when was the last tune up?

First go to ford owners.Com register then download the manual for free then go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams and fuse values are there also the relays //////before you replace any you might need electrical plug cleaning maintenance the vans 16 years old now go to each component and clean the plugs contacts to get nice and shiny alcohol or electrical cleaner will work and maybe 4/0 steel wool if you see corrosion then it's needed also the cable going to your power distribution box from the battery and the fuse blades in that box along with the relays must be cleaned also there is an accessory relay in the passenger fuse box after doing all cleaning check for blown fuses and replace for the windows the master window switch maybe corroded at the connector clean all and make sure they fit the contact pins tightly on the switch now obviously I am not there at the van so you have to perform these things to rule out other possibilities and most likely this didn't happen all at once but if it did detach the power distribution box and look underneath for broken wires the manual will tell you what things are on the same fuses and relays good luck stephen

Which fuse box ? under the hood in engine compartment or inside the passenger compartment ? The front electronic control module controls the power lock's . Fuse # F2.14 -10 amp located in the central junction box powers the FEM . Fuse # F2.6 - 15 amp located in the central junction box powers the keyless entry module. Did you try battery in the key fob (remote ) ? Take it to a qualified repair shop an have code's checked .
