Freestar - indicator ID

Benny Kearns 2 · Jan 3, 2011

Hello all,

Could not find a definative answer elsewhere so thought I'd try here. Anyone know what this indicator is: a flashing cogwheel with exlamation point within (lower left had side of panel below tach)? Some say transaxle/transmission, some even say low tire (even though we have a low tire indicator on the lower right side - looks like a flat tire). It came on during our recent 300 mile+ trip. No other symptoms (i.e. gears shift ok). However, later during the trip, we find ourselves with coolant leaking from the upper portion of the engine (seems to be where the line runs into the engine from the coolant overflow. We had to leave it at the shop and borrow a vehicle to get back home....I am supposed to hear back from the mech. later today - but anyone else's advice here is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Benny

I think what you're seeing is the Cruise indicator, is it not?

Check Transaxle. [Isn't there currently a massive recall on Windstars for axle problems?]
