Blower Motor Switch Resistor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Windstar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
