This is because your blower motor resisters are burned out for speeds 1,2 & 3. High speed does not have a resister.

Replace the resister. If it goes a 2nd time, it is because your blower motor is failing & drawing too much current.

it is behind the glove box I think. It is in the plenum case where air blowing on it keeps it cool.

Easy repair. May need to access throught glove box which should open all the way down when you squeeze the sides in.

Go to tascafordparts.com for a discounted resister.
Please rate as solved problem if this is what you needed.

Blower Motor Resistor Coils F150 2004 blower working only on high position. - 9ba1105.gif Blower Motor Thermal LimitF150 2004 blower working only on high position. - 47afe58.gifsrc="/uploads/images/47afe58.gif" alt="47afe58.gif" class="h_mi" /> The heater blower motor switch resistor has the following features:

  • The assembly is located on the passenger side of the plenum assembly behind the glove compartment (06010).
  • Three resistance elements are mounted on the resistor board to provide four A/C blower motor speeds.
  • Depending on the heater blower motor switch position, series resistance is added or bypassed in the A/C blower motor circuit to decrease or increase A/C blower motor speed.
  • An overheating protective device (thermal limiter) will open the resistor coil circuit when the temperature reaches 121°C (250°F), interrupting the blower motor operation in all speeds except HI.
  • The thermal limiter cannot be reset and is not serviceable.

Call your local Ford dealer parts department and explain your problem.  Ask them for a base part number 19A706 resistor and the location so you can replace it.  This part is located in the heater plenium chamber under the dash.  This should reactivate your fan speeds to normal.  You might also want to check the electrical conection to the resistor, as it has been known to melt from high heat at the connection.  That part, if needed is 14S411.  The numbers I've stated are base numbers.  Your local Ford parts guy will do the rest.

Ac blower motor stopped working

YJ car.
the blower is dead. is that it?
does it blow full speed on high
do you have 12v on terminal A of blower , term B is 0v ground
got that, then the blower is dead.
if not 12v, then the controls are bad.

4 parts to make blow
1: fuse 12 good.
2: switch heater /on off.
3: high, med,low speed, use high, its direct.
4: the blower,
one of those points has no 12v on high,
use a simple voltmeter to find the failed point.

Sentra AC

There's a 10amp fuse that powers the ac clutch relay and compressor. There are 15amp fuses that power the blower motor and the ac control switch. All of those fuses get power from the key switch. The resistor and fan switch provide the ground circuit for the blower motor.
I would want to know if those fuses are getting power, and if the control panel is working. You should be able to ground the blower motor and make it run on high, and that should not have any effect on if the ac compressor is running or not.
It could be a key switch problem in that the circuit is not strong enough to handle the load from the blower and the compressor at the same time.

Honda Accord 2002 heater blower control works only in the high position. The 1, 2, and 3 positions do not work but the high (4) does.

The heater blower is normally controlled by voltage sent to the blower via a resistor network.
In this case it seems that this unit also called the fan resistor is defective.
I assume that 4 is the position where the blower is running HIGH and in this position the blower is powered directly without using resistor for lowering the speed of the blower. In step 1 - 3 the blower is powered via the mentioned resistor network.

In my opinion the resistor network is defective.
Replace it !!!!.

The #4 position of the ac/heater blower fan switch does not work could it be resistor or switch"how do you replace part?

this would be caused by the switch, the resistor gives you one speed and that would be high which is #4

AC is stuck on high on my nissan titan 2006. I have heard it may be the resistor or the control panel

The blower resister is near the blower motor,mounted on the outside of the blower box,but actually goes inside the blower box.It~s function actually is to give the blower motor lower speeds.If it is only working on high,then this is the problem.If it works on high when you select a lower speed,then there is a high blower motor relay that is stuck in the closed position .Replace the relay.

Hi, sounds like your blower motor resistor needs to be replaced. If not the resistor, check the blower motor.

2001 Saturn L200 blower motor does not work in highest switch position. Move switch down to next lowest position and it works normally. This is in AC mode.

Blower motor resistor. Located next to/ near the blower motor itself. These are common failures for no high speed blower operation.

4 speed blower (fan)

You'll have to go to the dealer and buy a new switch panel. There is a circuit board behind the switch panel that went bad on yours. Don't get one from the wrecking yard, I made that mistake once.
