I am not aware of a coolant bleeder valve on the Taurus/Sables.
See "Related Questions" below for more about bleeding air from the cooling system.
After you have completed work on the cooling system and you begin to replace the coolant, open the bleeder a couple turns. As you pour coolant into the reservoir air trapped will escape out the bleeder. As soon as you see coolant come out of the bleeder close the bleeder valve and continue to add coolant to the reservoir until you have reached the full mark. Replace cap on reservoir. Allow vehicle to run through a drive cycle and cool down. Top off reservoir to full mark if necessary.
No it does not.

If there is a bleeder valve, it would be located at the top of thermostat housing
On the SE it is just aft of the liquid line's 8 inch sub for the high pressure Schrader valve (close to engine coolant tank).

I am looking for the same thing, but 2001. My pathfinder getting overheat after about 10 minutes of driving, however when it is idling on parking the temperature stays perfect. I found one thing that look like a bleeder valve in 2001 pathfinder. It is located right behind the engine, look like a straw with a rubber cap on it.
On a 2001 Ford Taurus : You could have the 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine ( and its flex fuel version ) which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine Or the 3.0 liter " Duratec " V6 engine which is a Dual Over Head Cam design engine
Open the drain valve on the side of the engine block.
