There is a small plug in the console forward of the shifter. Pop that out and insert a thin screw driver, you'll feel a springy resistance. Push it down and see if you can move the shifter. If the shifter will still not move, with the car on level ground, the parking brake full on, and the wheels blocked remove the shift cable from the tranny and see if you can shift the tranny with the lever. If you can, your cable is frozen. If you can't, you're looking at tranny repair.
The 2002 Ford Windstar shifter cable goes from the back of the transmission to the bottom of the shifter stick. The cable is approximately 6 feet long.
