Before replacing the thermostat, it is worth checking to see if the blend door is broken or the blend door actuator is failing. The most common issue relating to thermostat and climate control in Ford Windstar vans is the blend door. CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS BROKEN BEFORE REPLACING OTHER COMPONENTS (i.e. Thermostat, heater core, etc.). The Blend Door actuator on the Ford Windstar can be found by removing the glovebox. A broken blend door actuator is almost as common as a broken blend door itself. Typically, the fix requires disassembling the entire dash and replacing the whole plenum box, which can be a costly repair. Linked here is a video from www.heatertreater.net demonstrating how to access components of the plenum box for repair without disassembling the entire dash.
