1993 Ford Aerostar Service and Repair Manual

Trim coverage runs to eight levels: Base, Eddie Bauer, XL, XL Plus, XL Sport, XLT, XLT Plus and XLT Sport.

Known issues on the 1993 Aerostar. The federal record shows four recalls. One is an aftermarket-part campaign for replacement brake master cylinders that can lose fluid and lengthen stopping distances; another is an ignition switch whose accessory feed circuit could short and overheat; a third, on all-wheel-drive passenger vans, is a transfer case condition that can end in structural failure and driveshaft separation. Owners have filed 471 complaints with NHTSA, spread across the electrical system, the service brakes and the power train. Wiring diagrams, brake procedures and driveline specifications in this manual are the sections that speak to those complaints.
