my blower motor kinda quit working. It blows air but very very little (on high only). Is it a vacum problem??? i say that because at times it will blow air like it is suppose to when im driving it but for only a second. is there a fix for this???

Is it anything like this?

yea i tried that already. i tried tapping the motor with a hammer. nothing worked. i traced the vacum lines nothing. could it be the bolwer motor speed control switch??

 

[torquemonkey]

I agree with you that it is an electrical issue. Ground? Short? Switch? All good possibilities. Verify the switch w/ a wiggle test and you are off to a good start. Keep us informed on your progress. Who knows when a fellow board member may log in, that had the same issue.

Thats what mine did, got a new harness from the dealer.

 

[79ford]

how much was the harness? and was it hard to change?

 

[02LSE96LSC91SE84TC]

IIRC $42 from the dealer. Super easy to do. Just flip the door all the way down, unplug old and plug in new. I did it right in the dealer lot in a minute to make sure it was the right one.

I tried to just tighten the terminals and it didn't last.

 

[79ford]

are you talking about the glove box door?

 

[02LSE96LSC91SE84TC]

Yes. In the link above the 2nd pic clearly shows the harness that I replaced. Plugs into the motor and into the what I assume is the speed controller. That was my problem and appearently popular if a tech was written on it.

 

[79ford]

i will give that a shot and let you know what happends. thanx man

mine had been doing that for a while now........went out to buy the harness the other day, the old harness had the metal tabs melted on to the black connector that goes into the blower motor , so the problem wasnt the tabs.......it was the wires that were exposed from the dried plastic and rusting off........and not making contact..........



hmmm, another overheating wire(s) issue in a ford.......... :shifty:
