Windstar Question

Ah the old 95 rear panel. I remember it well. On my 95 windstar I had that panel off once to disconnect the right latch switch, again to disconnect the left latch switch, again to try to repair the wiper motor, again to try to repair the power lock actuator. I also had it off several times to unjam the lock mechanism. Each of these items I disconnected in turn because the cost of parts was higher than I was willing to pay at the time.

The two screws are the main fasteners. The rest are snaps around the periphery, if memory serves me. Pull on the panel and where you meet resistance, pry it with a putty knife. They even make a special tool for this. I traded the van about 3 yrs ago so I can't remember specifically about where to pull but it wasn't a difficult task. When the components inside are like that, the panel should be attached with velcro.

I drove a chevy venture for 3 years and traded it in on another windstar. I now love my 03 SEL and hope the electrical components have been improved because I now have a lot more of them.

Thank you for the response. I will give it a try when I have some time.
