John,
What's it going to take to pry that corrective action out of you? I've been trying to help someone w/ the same identifcal problem for a few days now.
Testimonial: "Bossier62 Is AWESOME! John Cushing, 6308087542 Thanks for posting my name on the internet. Not very nice. Answered ealier. Did not show. Not my fault"
Unless you own a newer vehicle and a set of wiring diagrams to go with it you don't understand the situation. Power runs straight from the underhood fuse panel through a connector to the blower motor plug. Sometimes it has power at the blower motor, sometimes it doesn't and it is in this circuit where the problem lies. It has nothing to do w/ resistors, relays or the control module. I'm assuming there is a loose connector pin or something of that nature in this circuit.
johncushing knows the answer....just wish he would share his knowledge :-)
Hey John that's the user name that shows up for you here, everyone can see it.....sorry if I ruffled any feathers....surely didn't mean to. Thanks for the diagnosis too, my friend in Maryland will definitely appreciate it.
The best I can do on the ignition switch is to send you some info on it from GM SI....it'll be from an 05 though since the program I'm using doesn't go into 06. If you're interested let me know. BTW, yesterday was my first day using this site so I'll have to figure out how to delete the thread.
You should have mail John...

Thank you John! Your solution was right on the money.I have been pulling my hair out for two days. I pulled the kick panel off dicconected the wiring harness and found the burnt connection. Used a jumper wire. Problem solved.
Lots of things to check is it getting power from the switch are the fuses all good and usually if a resistor goes out u will still have a low speed blower just not higher speeds it it quit totally sounds like a power issue from switch id check all fuses first
Let me post without giving e mail info
The connector that plugs into the blower motor under the glove box became too hot and melted the plastic resulting in the a/c and heat not to work (this includes the windshield defroster). I've been looking up problems and solutions and found that this is a recurring problem with GMC and chevy trucks yet there has not been any recall, in fact the dealerships have an extremely overpriced kit to fix their faulty wiring. About 66,000 mi.

I found the problem. Any reward for giving the information on this web site? This one was a tough one. i have been a Ford tech for thirty years. My info would help alot of people. John
Call me at 1 630 808 7542. I posted the answer and it will not show up. I do not know why it is blocked. Happy to help. John
The problem is in the lower left kick panel. remove trim from there. There is a green connector and a black connector. Use trim tool to releaces connectors from body. Unlatch black connector. Be sure to press in side locks before pulling down on white latch by squeezing sides. Pull connector apart. Notice melting occured at red wire with white stripe. Cut wire at connector entrance and exit. solder in a jumper to these two loose wires, thus bypassing connector. Tape properly and enjoy the A/C. Then tell Bossier62 he owes my a free diag. They charge 10 bucks for that. Would not offer me a credit. I can answer many more of these.
Do me a favor and delete this string. Rewrite it in your own way if you want. Got a 2006 Chevy equinox with a sticking ignition cylinder coming tomorrow. Is it as easy to fix as a Ford ignition cylinder? If not. Do you have any tricks? John
Yes please. Send the info for th 2005 chevy equinox ignition cylider replacement to [email protected]. Give me your e mail address also. If you have a Ford question I can help you with. Feel free to contact me. Thanks again. John
