1999 Ford Windstar Stereo system Troubleshooting

The front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan, produced from 1994 until 2003, was renamed the Ford Freestar in 2004. The vehicle was familiar for its noisy engine, in need interiors and inert handling. Models included 3.0-liter and 3.8-liter V6s. There were many convenience and safety features built in to the vehicle, on the contrary. The radio was a Ford radio, and some intelligible troubleshooting can allot many problems with the stereo.


Instructions


1. Verify the Ford Windstar radio doesn't get velocity touchy manual provided the manual keeps changing. Using the "Food" Press-stud, trial for the "Velocity Touchy" preference and adjust it as exigent.


Insert up to six CDs in the CD changer. Any more will jam it. Make sure there's only one CD in each slot.


3. Fully extend the antenna--if it telescopes---if you obtain poor results listening to the radio. AM may get particularly noisy at night, and this is normal. FM can be subject to signal-splitting in cities. Signal splitting is where transmitted signals are reflected off buildings and cause the radio to pick up two versions of the same signal. Again, it is normal, but will be reduced with an extended antenna.


4. Set the speaker balance adjustment to the center position if you notice too much emphasis of sound to the left or the right channels.


5. Press the button marked "Shuffle" if the CD tracks are being played in a random order. Toggling this button will change the order between that of the CD's programmed sequence and a random sequence.


6.2. Press the "Comp" Press-stud to switch off the compression feature. The compression feature brings soft and loud CD passages together and can cause sound anomalies. Try playing a CD with it on, and with it off, to see which you prefer.
