replaced rear brakes and something is wrong. It seemed straight foward but brakes are heating up and brake lite never shut off. Anyone know where I can fing a brake diagram to check if I replaced them properly. THANKS

It is in the chilton's manual. A chilton's is a fairly good source of reference in general and any DYI should have one.

Could your parking brake be dragging? (or is it set on)? -obvious items but worth mentioning.

Drums or disk? Did you do the replacement?

I have pictures of my rear drum (and front disk) brake jobs at

If you are like me......cannot have too many pictures.

I would see if, with the parking brake released......if you can spin each wheel.....is OK for a very slight amount of drag.....but only VERY slight.

For the brake light......maybe it is seeing the parking brake as still being on?
Also check the fluid level in the master cylinder......even very slightly low will trip the fluid level sensor.

Autozone.com have great photos for 95-98 Windstars. I have no idea what the differences are from 2000 models.

Here is a URL:
