Re: I have a 2001 Ford van wind star. The heater system...
There is a recall for plastic gear which fails, thus causing cold air up front, as the blend valve(door) does not shut propperly, or your heater core is plugged?

I would check the blend door actuator. If the door is open all the way, one direction, the air blows over the heater core. All the way in the other direction, the air blows over the evaporator. Anywhere in between, a blend of hot and cold for temp control. That explanation is a little simplistic. the info is for ford windstar.
Is the heater not working in the front of the van, but is working in the back? You might mean the 'blend door actuator'. It's not easy to get to. The correct way is to remove the dashboard. Search YouTube for 'Windstar blend door actuator' to get some ideas.
You likely have a defective expansion valve, recover the charge from the system and pull off the interior panels to expose the AC evaporator core and the expansion valve.
We're assuming that you are taliking about the armed ANTITHEFT system; I suggtes check in the owners manual ( Download the complete user guide (2659 Ko) ) in the security and other features section. If dont have aftermark alamr system (need to check it any stars to acceso to download).
Doubt it is a relay,all but one window works! Are you just going to buy a new one,without knowing if it is the problem?
Check the pass window switch.
Switch,okey,remove door panel and check out motor
Blend air door may be stuck. I removed a pencil from a heater box before. It had fallen from the dash, down through the defrost vents and jamed the door.
your controls have problems. the heat is there it is just not getting out because your control lines are not setting the vent controls into the proper positions. i had a chev van that lost some of the foam in side there and it blocked the whole front off. i had to rip it all apart to get at it
I had the same problem with mine Ford said I would need a $3,500 transmition job. I changed the filter and fluid babied it for a while and it came out of it that was 40,000 mi. ago and it is still going strong
