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.

No, the transmission in the 1999 Ford Windstar is not the same as the one in the 2003 model. While both vehicles may share some components due to being part of the same series, the 2003 Windstar features updates and improvements in its transmission design to enhance performance and reliability. It's important to consult specific vehicle specifications or a professional mechanic for detailed compatibility information.
Umm, short answer, no. Two completely different transmissions, controlled in two completely different ways.
The 2003 Ford Windstar typically uses Mercon V transmission fluid. It's important to ensure that the fluid meets Ford's specifications for optimal performance. Always check the owner's manual or consult with a professional to confirm the correct type and to ensure proper maintenance of the transmission system.
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.
The transmission shift solenoid on a 2003 Ford Windstar van is located inside the transmission assembly. To access it, you'll typically need to remove the transmission oil pan and the filter. The solenoid is usually mounted on the valve body, so some disassembly of the valve body may be required for replacement or inspection. Be sure to consult a repair manual for specific details and procedures.
don't try changing the tranny by yourself unless you have a good deal of training you may be sorry?
