Yes, the 1996 Ford Windstar is equipped with a vacuum modulator, which is part of the transmission system. The vacuum modulator helps regulate transmission pressure based on the engine's vacuum levels, influencing shifting performance. If you're experiencing transmission issues, it may be worth checking the modulator and associated vacuum lines.
Starting with the 1995 Ford Explorer model the transmission is ELECTRONICALLY controlled ( so there is no vacuum modulator )
I need to know the best way to remove and install the new window motor for a 96 Ford Windstar drivers side. Ray

Pump it out with an inexpensive hand pump.
I just had my water pump replaced on my '96 Windstar at a Ford dealer and it cost me $575.

According to the 1996 Ford Windstar owners manual : LX trim ( 25 U.S. gallons ) Gl ( 20 or optional 25 )
If you are referring to the automatic transmission vacuum modulator, there isn't one. The shifting points are computer controlled based on different signals from various sensors.
In a 1996 Astro Van, the vacuum modulator hose connects to the intake manifold in addition to the transmission. This connection allows the modulator to receive vacuum signals that help regulate transmission shifting based on engine load and performance. Make sure to check for any potential leaks in the hose, as they can affect transmission operation.
Take it apart to determine the cause. Only then you will be able to fix it.
