Disconnect the battery supply. Remove the inside driver side dashboard under cover. Remove the actuator and screws. Reverse to install.............
I believe it is located behind the glove compartment. Drop out the glove compartment box and you will see the blend door actuator.
under the glove box
To fix the blend door in a 2003 Mercury vehicle, you typically need to access the HVAC system, which may require removing the dashboard. First, disconnect the battery, then remove any necessary panels and the glove compartment to reach the blend door actuator. Inspect the actuator for damage or disconnection and replace it if needed, ensuring it operates smoothly. Reassemble the dashboard components and reconnect the battery to test the repair.

I know it is on the '96. So, just give your local Ford parts person a call. They will tell you.
Cannot seem to get the air to flow throught the vents top or bottom. I have replaced the faulty blend door actuator loctaed on the side of the unit, but still no air or anything. Question: some one said that the openings have to be reset in order for the actuator to work, is this true? I do remember hearing a mechanic say that the way the original actuator came out is how the new actuator is supposed to go in. Please advice. Troy
Just give info to the auto parts store. They should know what it is. If not the dealer will know.
Before replacing the thermostat or any other component of your Windstar's HVAC system, be sure to check your blend door for functionality FIRST. The most common issue with heat or A/C in the late model Ford windstar is a broken blend door. A broken blend door actuator is almost as common as a broken blend door itself. Typically, the fix requires disassembling the entire dash and replacing the whole plenum box, which can be a costly repair.

Without testing a guess would be a blend door or actuator or maybe a control problem
