I need help. My ac/heater is only blowing air out when I have it set on the high setting. I have been told it could be the motor blower resistor and/or the motor blower. Any ideas?


Also, does any one know where those are located? Does anyone have an ac diagram to show me?


Any help is appreciated,Thanks! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

 

Id say im 99% sure you have a bad resistor. Its behind the glove box near the blower motor. Id say check with your dealer some of those vehicles had a recall on the resistor im not sure which years it was though .[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

 

i have checked with the dealer but no recalls on my vehicle.


i read apost on the ford forum where this guy seemed to have the same problem. he saiditwasn't the resistor, itwas dirty/melted contacts in the plug. what is that? and how do i fix it without taking it to the dealer and it cosing me a fortune?


if it is the resistor, how do i fix that? i won't be the one fixing it, my boyfriend will be doing it. but any information on how to do it would be real helpful.


Thanks!

 

I have seen the plug to the motor or resistor melt also . The parts are actually realtivly cheap it wouldnt hurt to put on both. IF you got to a ford or linc merc dealer and explain what your looking for im sure the parts advisor you get should be able to help you relativly easily.

 

Thank you so much, you have been extremely helpful. [img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img]

you need a low speed fan switch.

 

There is also a fusible link under the drivers cowl panel(panel outside under windshield wiper) that has 2 red wires going to 1. I know that 98/99 had problems with these after the recall on the blower motor resistor pack was replaced.
