"blown out" = flushed(??)

The good news and the not-so-good:

  • Good: not a complicated process - disconnect one end of each heater hose, that being one end of the supply line and one end of the return line. Insert garden hose in one and then the other
  • Not-so-good: getting at the hoses is not so easy. Bear in mind you do not have to take the hose off at the firewall - which is a very very difficult spot to get at when you have the larger 3.8 or Duratec/DOHC engine.
You might want to consider a cooling system flush - especially at a radiator specialty shop. They're not that much more than the cost of anti-freeze alone. And this way you'll know that both the entire system (radiator, engine block & heater core) is clean.

What does a heat exchanger do in a 2002 Ford Taurus?

Like most water-based exchangers, known as the heater core, a hot liquid passes through the inside of a housing which is covered in metal 'fins'. Air then is blown over this housing where it picks up some of the heat from the heater core and moved through the ducts to the vehicle cabin.

Why does the heater work intermittenly on a 99 Mercury Cougar?

What you may be experiencing is a blown resistor. If the heater only works when on 4, but not 3, 2, or 1, then it is most definitely the answer. If it is, there is plenty of info on this at newcougar.org.
