Want this question answered?
The hose that goes from the overflow to the bottom of the radiator on a 2002 Windstar is the bypass hose. It allows coolant from the overflow to return to the radiator as it cools.
It should be within the water outlet which is attached to the lower end of the top radiator hose. Mark If the 96 millennia has a 2.3 engine, the thermostat is in the bottom radiator hose at the housing on the block.

Between the bottom radiator hose and the radiator. On the engine side of the hose.
open da hood. see the coolant resevoir? under that is the lower radiator hose. follow it to where it goes into the engine, and under that flange is the thermostat
I'm not sure about the S, but in the 2002 with just the 2.5L the therostat is in the lower radiator hose. Mine went out at about 90K miles and I had the same question.
Follow the lower radiator hose from the radiator to the thermostat.
Actually, this is an overflow hose. The hose shouldn't connect to anything. When the radiator warms up the fluid level in the reservoir tank may rise. If it gets too high, then the coolant will pour out of this overflow hose. If this is happening too often, you may have a blockage in your radiator.
The overflow hose, that carries coolant from the radiator to either a reservoir on modern cars or to the ground on older cars.
The hose leading from the bottum of the radiator (on the drivers side of the radiator) follow ir to the mottr you must unscrew the hose underneath or near the engine block to get the thermostate it can separate into 2 peices If it continues to get complicated just contact me at jermaine81@AOL.com and I'll send you pictures
follow the upper radiator hose
Follow the main radiator hose located by the overflow tank. It should be where this hose attaches to the engine.
