How to service and repair the thermostat on Ford Windstar?

The thermostat requires servicing by starting with a cool engine state where technicians remove the pressure relief cap from the cooling system or reservoir through a thick cloth that allows slow turning to release pressure before distancing themselves until all pressure has emptied out. Remove the pressure cap with the help of the cloth after confirming there is no more pressure left in the system. Users must prevent the usage of Extended Life Engine Coolant F6AZ-19544-AA that satisfies Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D (orange color) since it causes severe damage to vehicles. The mixture of Standard (green) Coolant with Extended Life Coolant (orange) requires immediate system draining followed by refilling with the originally installed coolant type. Drain the engine cooling system first and after that remove the air cleaner and finish by taking out the bolts and water outlet connector. Remove the thermostat from the water outlet connector and thoroughly clean its two contact areas. Proper orientation of the thermostat must be ensured before installing it into the water outlet adapter using a new gasket. The cooling system requires refilling following installation of the water outlet connector and its bolts. Also reinstall the air cleaner before proceeding.
