when you unplug the solenoids the transmision goes and up shifts erratic because of the solenoids which is what that connector is for the trans is working only on fluid pressure inside and no longer electrical control you could have internal clutch failure or the selonoids fail you should have a trans tech diag

Man, I feel for you. We just traded our 1998 Windstar in after having the same kind of problems. All I can tell you is the Windstar was a real disappointment. It required constant work from the moment we got it. Electrical glitches, multiple alternator replacements.........and finally the transmission died. Don't spend too much money on yours -- it could be a money pit.
