First of all its VERY hard, the best way I would do it and have before, is that I had to take dash completely apart, then take the heater box out and then take it apart and the core will come out. Repeat steps to install.

The Haynes repair manual is still available for the '94 Aerostar. It is part number Haynes 36004 and costs around $15.
It is easy to change the heater core on a few Ford vehicles, but apparently not the Aerostar so checking the manual is good advice.
Here is a photo of the heater core and its dimensions: http://info.rockauto.com/GoDan/Detail2.html?webbase.transpro.com/catalog.php?partnum=398316 .

Do you mean "heater core"? If so, get ready for a hassle. I helped a friend work on his '95, and can tell you from hard experience that Aerostars have virtually zero room to work under the dash. If you've never done it before, it is worth the few extra $ to have a pro do it. If you're dead set on doing it yourself, go to your local Auto Zone or similar store and invest in either a Chilton or Haynes repair manual for the Aerostar. They will have illustrations and instructions listed on how to replace the assembly. Hope this info helped you out.

I've had to change the heater core on several cars that I owned. Every car was different but the one thing that was always the same was, the dash has to come out. On yours, you may not have to but you'll have to work like hell to get it out from under there.
Hint: look under the hood and see where the heater hoses go through the firewall. Are they pretty close to the top? If so, take out the dash!

Go down to the local Auto Zone and buy a Chilton's or Haynes manual for your specific make of vehicle. These books provide the easiest method to change nearly evey part on your car. They even have actual pictures. They are only $20.00 and one of the best investments you can make for your vehiclce.
You can also check them out at the Public Library.

common factor is in simple terms forgetting to plug a connector back in.... on maximum up till ultimately approximately 2000 there are some connectors on the passenger side that could do this.. after approximately 2000 Ford went 4 wheel abs universal and each thing replaced into positioned exterior under the hood. you have got a non appropriate merchandise (such with the aid of fact the rear speed sensor) pass out and reason your themes additionally) yet examine the obtrusive first

make sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected if you plan to do any wire work
