Why does my Ford blower fan not work?

Why does my Ford blower fan not work?

Worked perfect for about 8 months. The third time in the shop, the mechanic wired the blower directly to the battery and it worked fine so he knew it wasn’t the blower motor. He checked electrical continuity through the dash and said it was okay. He thought there could be a loose ground wire along the main branch of wires???

How long does it take for a Ford blower fan to work?

Next time, the mechanic again replaced the blower motor again and reportedly tightened the electrical connection. Worked perfect for about 8 months. The third time in the shop, the mechanic wired the blower directly to the battery and it worked fine so he knew it wasn’t the blower motor.

What happens when a blower motor relay wears out?

Without it, the AC system will not be able to circulate any heated or cooled air. The blower motor relay controls the current used to power the blower motor, and is subject to the constant on and off switching. Over time, it can eventually wear out.

Where is the blower control switch on the dashboard?

The blower control switch on the dashboard controls the circuit flow of the blower motor to adjust the voltage from low, to medium, to medium-high, to high. When on high, the circuit bypasses the blower resistor.

Why does my Crown Vic LX Sport blower not work?

I’ve had my 2002 Crown Vic LX Sport (60k mi) in the shop 4 times to get a problem with the blower motor corrected. No luck yet. The problem is that it works sporadically – typically doesn’t work on the coldest days so getting to work can be an adventure.

Why does my AC quit working on my Ford E-450?

Normal operation. When the load or the throttle position reaches a predetermined point the AC compressor will automatically shut off until the load or the throttle backs off then it will kick back in. 5 people found this helpful. So, I’ve also had this problem in an E-450 can on my class C motor home. Took it to Ford.

Where is the blower motor resistor located on a Ford Escape?

In the 2008-2011 Ford Escape, the resistor is located behind the glove box on top of the HVAC unit air duct. It’s held by two screws and is easy to replace. See the photo. In the 2008-2011 Ford F150 the blower motor resistor is also located behind the glove box, but is installed in the right side of the plastic air duct.

When does the radiator fan kick on in a 2010 Ford F150?

2010 Ford F150, Radiator fan seems to be running on high more than it should. Fan kicks on about 30 seconds after vehicle is started and is extremely loud. Even kicks on when its a cooler day. Also stays on when driving down the highway.

Why is my Ford F-150 not blowing air?

The 2004-2014 Ford F-150 with manual temperature and fan controls may have problems with the the blower motor only blowing air on certain settings. Most commonly the fan will only run on the highest setting. This is a well documented problem, and is caused by a failing blower motor resistor.

Where does the vacuum go in a Ford E series?

There’s a black plastic vacuum tube from the intake that runs along the top of the engine on the right side. There is a Check Valve a Tee, and a vacuum reservoir. One end of the tee goes to the reservoir and the other through a grommet through the firewall to your AC controls.

Is the a / C blower motor still original?

It just doesn’t cut it in the Georgia summer heat! – the blower motor turns just fine and doesn’t seem to have a lot of resistance to it, although the plastic fan portion itself is still labeled 2/99 so it is original. I’m not sure if the motor itself is original.

Why is the air coming out of my blower so cold?

The air that does come out is Ice cold. So far we checked the selector switch (swapped from properly working truck), inspected the vacuum lines-all seem ok, swapped out blower motor (from the same other properly working truck).

Why does my interior climate control fan stop working?

Recently my interior climate control fan stopped working. Turn the switch, nothing happens, on any speed. OK.. I went through and replaced all the major culprits.. a new blower motor, new blower resistor & harness, and new blower relay.

What to do if your blower switch goes bad?

I went through and replaced all the major culprits.. a new blower motor, new blower resistor & harness, and new blower relay. Wouldn’t you know, still nothing. What possibilities are left? I was wondering if the switch itself (in the dash) can go bad.. I don’t get this. Great timing in the summer heat!

Why is my blower on my Ford Ranger not working?

This is a fairly common issue amongst Rangers, Explorers, and most likely the Mazda B series trucks as well. The main symptom of a failing blower motor resistor is that your fan speed will only work on the high setting.

Why does my blower fan not come on?

Sounds like the blower resistor, or a bad connection at the resistor. You could try ‘wiggling’ the wires on the resistor and see if it comes on. Yep,the resistor is most likely your problem. I’ve been through that mess too!

Why is my blower motor resistor not working?

The main symptom of a failing blower motor resistor is that your fan speed will only work on the high setting. If your fan doesn’t work at all, then there is most likely a blown fuse, issue with the blower motor, hvac panel problem, or a fault in the wiring.

What causes a bad or failing blower motor relay?

Blown fuses. One of the first symptoms of a bad or failing AC blower motor relay is a blown AC blower motor relay circuit fuse. If the blower motor relay develops any sort of problem that hinders its ability to properly limit and distribute power, it may cause the blower motor fuse to blow. Any sort of electrical spikes or excessive current…

Why does my Ford Expedition not have a front blower?

I bought a used 2017 expy from carmax and had no front blower. They sent it back to the dealer and I wanted to know exactly what was found. I was told the 40 amp fuse had a bad connection and was reset with dielectric grease, that was it, has worked fine since.

Why is the air conditioner not working on my Ford Explorer?

Like the radiator, the air conditioning condenser on Ford Explorer sits at the front of the vehicle and is responsible for releasing the heat from the refrigerant into the ambient air. Over time, grime, bugs and other small particles can build up on its surface and in the gaps of its mesh.

What causes a fuse to blow on a blower motor?

If the blower motor relay develops any sort of problem that hinders its ability to properly limit and distribute power, it may cause the blower motor fuse to blow. Any sort of electrical spikes or excessive current from a bad relay will blow the fuse and cut power in order to protect the system.

Where does the battery go on a Ford blower motor?

The end result is that your Ford’s blower motor now runs in M1 speed. Battery power is available on terminal 2 of the blower switch connector (YEL/RED wire). This battery power is now diverted to terminal 4 of the blower switch harness connector.

What happens when the blower motor switch stops working?

When this happens, one or several of the blower fan speeds stop working. The cool thing is that diagnosing/troubleshooting the blower switch isn’t hard. The following circuit descriptions will help:

What causes a blower motor to stop working?

In a situation where the motor doesn’t work on any speed, the most likely causes are: a blown power supply fuse, a bad motor ground connection, bad motor speed control module or a failed motor.
