I have a 2001 Ford Windstar LX with the following electrical issues:
1) Keyless entry doesn’t work nor can I program my remotes.
2) The only way that I can keep the rear tail lights, interior lights, gas gauge, locks working is by using a wire jumper between the fuses on the 2nd vertical row in the fuse box and another 20 amp fuse.
3) The day time running lights do not work.
4) Passenger door lock doesn’t work and driver’s only sometime.
Any help with the above would be great. Note that the van hit a deer and was damaged in the front hood and passenger fender area.

Suspect and I would think wiring harness,
check for a short and check the wiring harness
if you had the car repaired I would suggest having them take another look at it as they may fixed the body and almost sure that you have a short in the wiring harness causing most if not all your problems

1-Need a scanner tool to access the module and read key card code if key code reads? Code card no good
and module too
full kit is available parts # 1F2Z-15604-GA
old FOBs need to be reprogrammed to the new module
