Something went nuts! Check fuses with a test light that lights on both sides.

Is this an accident vehicle? Two different circuits or more that means you need to check for the problem that caused all this if it happened all at once especially,

There should be a rubber like connector on firewall that may be the problem??

Re:'01 FORD WINDSTAR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS Sign In

There are multiple issues on different circuits so if all at once went bad I'd be looking for the common denominator to all.

Being a 2001 you have OBDII system and a BCM (body control module) that only some VERY expensive equipment is going to figure out.

No need to give up. Just allow for a pro, hands on diagnosis and you can still make the repairs yourself,
