If you have no heat in either the front or rear, first suspect is the thermostat. That can affect both systems.
If you have heat in one, but NOT the other, then I would first suspect a failed temperature blend door actuator motor.
The "Related Questions" below provide a comprehensive diagnostics/trouble-shooting guide to figuring out Windstar heating problems.
Most likely it is a resistor that has blown on the back of the controls.
my 1999 winstar was doing this and it was the blend door
ABS and blower motor are unrelated.To fix blower motor, read this:http://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/diagnostics/blower-only-works-on-high-speed
If the blower works on the defrost mode only, you could have a disconnected vacuum supply line coming from the engine. If the blower motor doesn't work on any mode or speed you could have a blown fuse, burned out blower motor speed resistor, bad switch or a bad blower motor.
it is either a bad switch on your controls, or your blower motor is going out
Your wiring is probably messed up, happened to me. Locate the wires from the blower to the controls check them and replace as needed. Assuming no wiring problem check and replace the blower motor resistor.
I had the same problem on my 91 RS 305. In the dash controls for the A/C,Heater,Defrost, there is a reistat. When I removed and disassembled it, one of the 3 internal springs had collasped allowing the circuit plate to lose contact. I cleaned up the copper circuits, stretched out the spring, and now everything works properly.
the resistor for the blower motor is busted blower works on high with out it
Not knowing what vehicle you have, many vehicles use vacuum to operate some, if not all, the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) controls. If the vacuum supply is cut off for whatever reason the HVAC goes into defrost mode. I suspect you have a disconnected/broken/damaged/pinched vacuum supply line usually found under the hood leading from the engine into the firewall.
i just replaced the thermostat in 2004 Chevy truck heater works fine now
Check the blower motor resistor as it controls the fan speeds. Also check the blower motor as it will burn out resistors if its drawing to much amperage
1. check the fuse block for a blown fuse. 2. check for an in-line fuse ir circuit breaker that controls the fan. 3. If this vehicle has a/c it also has a control module that tells the components of the heat/defrost/a/c what to do. the blown fuses are not expensive. the control module is approx $400
