I was looking at the ( 1996 ) Ford Windstar Owner Guide and it shows :
In the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) located in the engine
compartment near the battery
( " M " is a 60 amp fuse for the Heated Backlight , that's what Ford calls their rear defrost )
rear cig lighter
rear brakes need adjustment srar wheel froozen
The antenna is sandwiched within the right rear window.
Since the GL was the mid-level Windstar model, rear air conditioning would have been an option available at the time of purchase.So the answer is that it depends on the individual vehicle.
No, the rear defrost is just an electric grid on the rear window. No air movement involved.
Its under the dash on the drivers side in the engine compartment.
Below the dash on the drivers side fuse box. Marked DEF
no - every Windstar came with at least 1 side door (1995-1998) and 2 side doors 1999-2003 - all along with the rear hatch.
Replace turn sigal switch.
According to the owner's manual, in the power distribution box in the engine compartment , there is a 30 amp cartridge fuse in location # 4 that is for the rear defrost. Also, on the top side of the fuse panel located under the dash on the driver's side, there is a relay for the rear defrost in location # 2. The manual states "see the dealer for service of relay box"

The rear windscreen defroster does not work. I have pressed the right button to defrost the windscreen when raining or cold
