First step is to get inside the door - See "Related Questions" below for details on removing the door panel.
A couple of nuts to release the exterior handle, a linkage connection, and swap over the key cylinder.
Piece of cake and you'll be done in only 7 or 8 hours... Oh wait, not quite that long - hour or so. ;)

How do you replace the right sided vent blower ford windstar?
It sounds like the problem is a broken blend door. Before replacing the thermostat or any other component of the Windstar's HVAC system, be sure to check your blend door for functionality FIRST. The most common issue with heat or A/C in the late model Ford windstar is a broken blend door. 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.
How do you fix a broken hood release on a Ford Windstar?
AnswerIf it is just the plastic handle broken, behind that is the cable that opens the hood. Just grab the cable with a pair of pliers and pull. You can probably just replace the inside handle and not have to run a new cable. AnswerI assume the handle broke off in the car. You will have to by a new cable/handle assembly ($30.00) so I would: Cut the remaining handle and end off the cable housing so you can get at the inner cable core. Then take a vise grip and pull on the inner core to release hood latch. New housing/cable assemblies are available at your Ford dealer.
