It is most likely a front pump failure; its very common with these vans. You can check by removing upper transmission cooler line from the the radiator and starting engine. Place a pan underneath to catch fluid. You should get a minimum of one quart per minute flow. If you get no flow you get no go.
Also have your engine codes checked. Failure of the PCM will cause this problem also. Do not have your trans rebuilt until you check this. Water can get on the PCM causing all kinds of disruptions including trans failure.

Umm, short answer, no. Two completely different transmissions, controlled in two completely different ways.
On Taurus 2003 and on Ford windstar it's located on top of the transmission, close to the shifting lever. It's covered with a small rubber cap that has inside ribs to allow air flow.
don't try changing the tranny by yourself unless you have a good deal of training you may be sorry?

I don't think so... I think the transmission need electric power to engage.
There are virtually no mechanical differences between the various "trim-models" in the 1999-2003 Windstars, so the transmissions are highly interchangeable - especially within the same model year.
