I need to know the location of the heater inlet hose on my 99 Windstar with the 3.8L V6? If you have a picture that would be GREAT!

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I'm still a little confused though. In the picture you attached are both hoses heater inlet hoses? If not then which one is the HEATER INLET hose? I need to know this as this will be the location I have to install a Flush & Fill Tee from the Prestone Flush 'N Fill kit. (I also have an '87 Buick which I have used this kit on before and am confident that it works very well.)
Thanks for your help!

I don't have a diagram. But generally the one on the right is the inlet? Check that this one comes from thermostat.

Thanks again. I'll have to go out and take a look while I'm on my lunch break and there is still daylight! Lol If I can't find or "see" what you are talking about I'll write you back again.

So I just took a look and I did find the two hoses. I am not sure if I saw the thermostat or not but I did see the hose the led to the top of the engine. Would it be under the throttle controls?
