What owners wrote
While driving at any speed right turn signal worked only intermittently. Turn signal switch was replaced once before. Vehicle had been in dealer's shop four times for turn signal problem.
The brake lights on my 2002 ford windstar van will turn on by themselves at night, or will stay illuminated constantly during driving. When I arrive at my destination and with the ignition turned off I have to pump my brake pedal until the brake lights go off. There is frequently a burnt electrical smell when this problem occurs. I am delivering my ford windstar van to the local ford dealership for repairs, but found several online websites and forums of windstar owners with the exact same problem.
