To flush the radiator of a Ford Windstar, start by ensuring the engine is cool. Remove the radiator cap and place a drain pan under the radiator's drain valve, opening it to allow old coolant to drain out. Once drained, close the valve and fill the radiator with a mixture of water and radiator flush solution, then run the engine with the heater on for about 10-15 minutes. Finally, drain the flush solution, refill with fresh coolant, and check for leaks.
