Hvac Controls Only Work On 4?
#1
Ok the wagon i recently bought all of a sudden the blower doesn't work on settings 1, 2 or 3, but will work on full blast 4

Has any one had this problem?

It seems to be common in 2000 model year Fords since my Dad's F150 has the same problem :(

any tips on how to fix this would be great!

You already got a reply on FF :)) Blower resistor. I've seen a few threads with that issue on FF.

Funny that this fresh in my head at co worker that owns a Focus asked me about this today and right away I said blower resistor and she thought I was crazy SL8 I'll send you a PM 2 bring you attentiopn back to this post. I told her I'll find out more info for her. Is this something that I would be able to fix or should I direct her to a mechanic or dealer?

yeah it looks to be an easy fix...

i bought the part, just haven't got around to it yet

part is like $26, and it's located behind the glove box to the left. New part looks like it is held onto the blower motor with 1 screw or bolt

i'll be doing mine asap this weekend, and hope to have that damn wagon on the road soon too lol

Ford # 3m5z18591ba
Motorcraft # YH1696
Canadian Dealer Price = 35.15

looks like an easy DIY job ... but if not, you might get dinged 1/2 hour at the shop - so call it 35 to 45 bucks to install.

Doesn't look like the colour means anything in terms of its function - probably just different suppliers (ie: a Mexican piece vs. European piece) - Ford lists the same part for every Focus model from 00-07.

New track rat: 2000 ZX3, Atlantic Blue * JRSC with lots more to come

* New Zetec crate motor - NFG - thanks Topspeed *

Color means nothing

Wagon 1 had a Blue Resistor pack which went and I replaced it with a brand new Black one

Wagon 2 has a White Resistor pack but it works fine so Im not messing with it..


about a year and a half ago I lost 1-2-3 and we kept it on 4 not knowing the result of this 3 weeks later (before i found the websites for into) we had smoke come out of the Blower Fans speed switch.. the switch shorted and took out the complete resistor pack..

$73 later at a Colony Ford's parts desk I buy both switch and resistor and asked the guy where to find the resistor... Took me about a half hour and the tools in my small emergency kit and it was fixed
