I have a 98 Ford Windstar that has a VCR system in it. The VCR broke and I was wondering if I can hook up an RCA jack to the wiring of the factory video screen so I can plug them into a portable DVD player and a different vcr I have for the van. My kid and I will appreciate any help you can give me.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I have the info you need (it's at work now though, and I'm not there). We do work for a local Ford dealer. Is the VCR the removable one between the front seats...inline connector at the bottom, handle that locks/latches it down? I can check tomorrow if you'd like to PM me go ahead.

That is the one. It is not a 98 Windstar it is an 01. I keep forgeting that is the newer one we got.
