the water pump is located right in the front of the engine right underneath the fan
in the gas tank
Removal of the water pump on a 1995 Ford Aerostar V6 3.0 non AWD begins by removing the drive belts and accessories. The water pump can then be unbolted and pulled from the engine.
The weep hole is "an indicator of bad bearings and/or seals" in the water pump when antifreeze starts to drip or run out of it. If antifreeze is coming out the weep hole, change the water pump.
It might fit but it will take you a while.
Remove radiator, serpentine belt, bracket for power steering, and you should be able to get to all water pump bolts, although I'm having a hard time removing fan from pump.
In the fuel tank.
I can tell you an approximate cost, depending on where you live also can make a difference. A couple of years ago it cost about $45.00 for the pump, and about $300.00 for labor and other materials. This was my cost to have it done to a 1993 Aerostar 3.0.
after you remove the fan and fan hood remove the belt and the alternator. you then remove the 6mil bolts and your water pump should come free from the timing chain cover.
On the 1989 Aerostar it is under the dash near the passenger door.
The fuel pump on a 1997 Ford Aerostar XLT is located on right side under the battery. This is connected to the back wall.
Needs coolant and/or needs to be put back in timing/slack belt/deffective water pump.
The electric fuel pump is inside the fuel tank
