Its probably a clogged heater core. not the common jeep blend door problem. backflush it and if thst dont fix it, the blends on taurus are driven by engine vacuum check the vacuum lines

This solution is not for a novice. Air flow doors are fragile and easy to damage.

SOURCE: how to replace blend door actuator in a ford

I recently did mine, I hear you can do it without taking the entire dash apart but I had no luck with it myself. I have to get ready for work but, on mine it was located down and to the left of the radio. its a white box...are you hearing a clicking noise or something? I had to roll the entire dash back and it was still a major pain getting it out.

If the bolts are from the blend door assembly, the blend door actuator could easily dislodge and jam. You will need to get in behind the dash and inspect the door actuator function. The actuator is new and shouldn't have failed already, so you might be able to salvage it and regain proper operation.

1998 Ford taurus doesn't have heat for defrost or interior

If both heater hoses are hot, the problem could be a stuck or faulty blend door under the dash.
The blend doors direct air thru the heater core and out the vents.

The heating and air works but doesn't blow hot or cold air there is a part under the dash board that is missing some kind of valve,could you please help me with this

There is a blend door that is know to give problems. Sometimes the blend door itself will break but there is also a blend door actuator that can fail. The blend door actuator is located behind the dash...kinda behind the temperature control knob and is a pretty easy fix if you're able to hang upside down under your dash for about 20 minutes. The actuator costs around $50.
I've never replaced the blend door itself, but have read up on it when I thought that might be the problem. Let's just say the part is cheaper but clear your weekend. I think step one of building a Taurus is the blend door....it's buried in there.
Hope this helps.
