I had a mark 8, similar year, there are electric blend door actuators, they are made of plastic, and overtime crack and loosen up. There are several fixes, I used a ferrel from a 1/2 brass compression fitting, and epoxy over it, held for the next 3 years I owned it. Dash board removal sucks, no room but is doable. Recommend checking wiper motor/linkage while your there, good time to do while it's apart. Hope it helps.

There is a tiny little peanut shaped light bulb inside the radio that provides the light for the dial, it is replaceable, you will need to remove the radio, then pull the top cover off the radio chassis, the bulb is under the cover.

In order for the blend door actuator to be replaced, the dash must be removed from the vehicle.
SOURCE: 98 ford windstar has clicking noise under dash and won't start
The clicking noise is most likly the starter solinoid cycling in and out. This is due to low battery voltage. charge the battery, then have the battery and charging system tested. Some auto supply stores will do this for free for you in the hopes of selling parts
good luck
SOURCE: Problem:
Problem is most likely in the electronic blend door motor or the door itself has broken.
To access the electronic temperature blend door actuator remove cassette storage box or center shelf unit, if equipped.
Remove instrument panel ash receptacle by depressing service lever. Disconnect electrical harness connector from A/C electronic door actuator motor.
Remove three retaining screws.
Carefully pull A/C electronic door actuator motor outward and off A/C evaporator housing assembly.Make sure the door it self is not cracked where the actuator hooks to it and that it will move.

Sounds like there is a foreign object in the heater case. The only way to reapair it is to remove the object by possibly removing the heater case.
Testimonial: "Definately pointing in the right direction. Thanks..."
Air
Temperature Control Blend Door Failure No Heat or no AC (dependes on
where door sticks)
In
all modern cars there is a tiny DC electric motor driven gear drive
that moves a plastic door that blends heated and cooled air from the
AC and the heater core, this is called (interestedly enough) the air
temperature control blend door actuator. The motor that moves this
door fails because the door starts sticking from warping, most common
complaint is no heat but it can be no AC as well. To replace these
parts (blend door and blend door actuator) you must remove the entire
dash from the car. Always have this problem confirmed by a dealer or
qualified repair shop as it is a very expensive repair.
Other causes of no heat in the cabin are engine thermostats that are stuck open (engine runs cold) or air bubbles in the cooling system.
