'03 Windstar: Overspeed warning chime?

Windstar Driver · 2004-01-26T01:39:58+00:00

I have an '03 Windstar that I bought as a dealer demo at the end of August. I've been hearing an occasional repeating chime when I'm driving on the highway,but until today, I couldn't figure out what was causing it: it wasn't the dooropen or signal on chime, and the dealer couldn't find any malfunctions when Ibrought it in. Today, I determined that the chime appears to go on when Iexceed 75 miles per hour (which, of course, I only did as an experiment!). Itstarts when the (analog) speedometer hits about 76, and cuts out as soon as Islow below that level. So here's the question: Does the Windstar have anoverspeed warning the manual doesn't talk about? Or if it's not standard, is itpossible the dealer installed one so the demo's employee drivers didn'toverstress the thing before they could sell it? Thanks for any insight, as I'dlike some info. before I call the dealer about it. {Windstar Driver}

I have a Ford Ford Technical Service Information Electronic Publications for the year 2000 vehicles CD and tried to locate the overspeed sensor but had no luck. I tried calling the guy at the shop I spoke to yesterday and was not able to get hold of him.
