Ford taurus is over heating. Fluid level seems to be okay. a check with a anti freeze checker floats all five balls. oil has no water in it. fans are both running at a idle. turned on the heater to help cool which caused the gauge to show a little cooler (got it home 1/2 mile). hose going into the thermostat seems to have some preasure when not running.
Replace thermostat and bleed air from cooling system

the thermostat can be easily changed from up top, the T-stat is located at the engine end of the upper radiator hose under the flange the hose connects to. Make sure u follow manufacturer's cooling system bleeding procedures when you refill after the T-stat is changed out.
SOURCE: my ford festiva has no heat.
check the watetr pump if its not working there will be no heat at all
SOURCE: 1994 Ford taurus overheating, no heat...
when you replaced all of that stuff on the vehicle did you make sure that you don't have a vapor lock in the highest anti-freeze line? to fix run vehicle with line disconnected so air can escape then reconnect. if that dont work you will need to put a T splice in the top anti-freeze line so when the vehicle is running you can open the valve and let air out.
SOURCE: i have a 2000 ford windstar no heat still
My 99 windstar did this too. It was the blend door that the actuator motor goes into was broke. When you pull the actuator out look into the hole and see if you see a d shape piece coming out of the box if it is not d shape it is broke check out this site great photos
