A blown headgasket. The anti freeze gets into the exhaust, gets heated up by the catalytic converter and blows smoke out of the exhaust pipe. The reason that you don't have heat is because the antifreeze/water is leaking into the combustion chamber.

Another thought...If the 'smoke' is actually vapors coming through the heating/cooling ducts, that could be a leaking heater core.

Why does my 99 Ford Windstar power seat fuse keeps burning out intermittently?

Usually if a seat motor is causing the fuse to blow then the motor is going bad. It could be using more amperage than it is designed to use. This will cause the fuse to blow. DO NOT be tempted to put in a bigger fuse. This can cause a fire. Good luck.


Why does your ford windstar 2003 blow hot air when idling and cold air when driving?

Could be a number of reasons for this condition. I would check the coolant level. A low coolant level could cause your heater to blow cold air when the engine is warm. Is the engine warm? If the engine is fluctuating temp it could be a faulty thermostat. Hope this helps.

Can a bad thermostat cause white smoke?

A bad thermostat typically wouldn't cause white smoke. White smoke usually indicates a coolant or water leak which could be caused by a variety of other issues such as a blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head, or a damaged engine block. It's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue accurately.
