2001 ford windstar was parked for 2 months now works great but will not shift stays in second.. could you please HELP?

Here are some potential causes and solutions for your Windstar's transmission issue:

1. Low Transmission Fluid:

- Check the transmission fluid level. If it's low, add the recommended fluid and check for any leaks.

2. Faulty Shift Solenoid:

- A faulty shift solenoid can prevent the transmission from shifting gears properly. Have the solenoids tested and replaced if necessary.

3. Transmission Control Module (TCM) Issue:

- The TCM controls the transmission's shifting. A malfunctioning TCM can cause transmission problems. Have the TCM diagnosed and repaired or replaced if needed.

4. Faulty Transmission:

- If the above solutions don't resolve the issue, there might be an internal transmission problem. Have the transmission inspected by a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist for any mechanical issues.

Remember that diagnosing transmission problems can be complex, so it's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a professional if the issue persists or if you're not comfortable performing the checks and repairs yourself.
