Ford WindstarIntroduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.
I know this is an old post, but I just thought I would throw my .02 in, after I have had mine off twice now. The heater bypass tube is the metal pipe that comes out of the top of the water pump and then goes back behind the P/S pump where it T's off in two directions. You can can it without taking the manifold off, you just need small hands and a LOT of patience to get the factory clamps off the connected hoses. The part for a 2k Windstar sells for 35 dollars at the dealership, and they keep them in stock.
