I did exactly what you explained in my 2004 Ford Explorer XLT . I am happy I have now 1 2 3 4 🤙🏻 for $37 part , thanks for your videos

I need to thank you a shit ton for your videos!!! I just was able to replace my resistor and my acuator tonight just on your videos and not spend a ton of money on labor at a shop! It took me a while because of how damn small the space is to get to them but I did it! As a female and being able to replace it myself with no help I have officially decided to drink a beer to cheers myself ha!

Got the Motorcraft YH1716 blower motor resistor, from Amazon, for 25.59 and it took ten minutes for me to replace in my 2004 AWD Explorer. Thanks for the help!!

I have a 2006 ford explorer/ 4DR 4WD XLT. When purchased the truck used the lowest setting did nothing, a year later, now my 2nd setting up stopped working as well. The 3rd and 4th worked, but too high for me all the time. I watched this video and it gave me the information I needed to do the repair myself. Yes mine 4WD had a module in the way, luckily or by design I only had to remove 1 screw in the bottom of the front bracket. There was not 1 on the back side (thank you) because I would of had a lot of trouble trying to get to it. The back of the bracket hinged out of the back where it is held and out. Note: On the resistor mount screws I had trouble accessing the top left screw do to plastic molding in the area. You will need and extender rod to access it with ease. Note: I first removed the glove compartment; push the 2 sided in and then move out, remove the 4 screws and it is off, making easy access from top and bottom. My results 40 minutes later was a working blower on all settings. I also found out the ac when on high ac worked on all the settings too. Prior it only blew high with no change on the setting. This now makes sense to me. Thank you for this video and hope my info will also help.

Awesome. Autozone had the resistor in stock, switched it out in 20 mins. Saved a ton of money . Thank you sir

Great Show and Tell!! Worked PERFECTLY!

Just did mine!!! Thank for the Vid cost bout $30 and 20 minutes of time.

You had the exact correct solution for the issue. Easy swap and replacement, having four fan speeds again is nice!

Thanks for the video! Same instructions for a 2010 Explorer. Although I removed the glove box for even easier access.

Wow thanks man. Just fix mine .. 4x4 module was pain in the a** but got the job done and working all 4 fan speeds

Dude thank you so much you saved me a lot of money.....

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer Limited and I have the same issue. My A/C motor only works on the highest setting. It's also digital instead of 4 positions. Is the process the same?

Thanks for the heads up!

I have explorer 2008. The AC 1-2-3-4 all work fine but all blow the same level with level 1. Even I turn to 4, the blow is still weak. I changed a new resistor as you did but the problem is still the same. Any others to consider?

Thank you so much I would have never found the problem....:))

would this be the same process on a 2000 explorer v8 all wheel drive...thanks

brian would this be the same fix for a 2006 f150 ? only works on speeds 3 and 4 but not 1 and 2

Thanks for this! Just ordered the part from the link you posted. Thanks again!

Awesome video

you the best followed your instructions than man much props👍👍

Does the resistor card run the front dash fans and the rear fan ?

Hey Ford Tech driving today and all of sudden the front vents stop blowing air it blows on defroster vents and wooks on leg vents but not the front nothing blows out of it . I guess what I want to ask is do you think it might be the same problem? by the way its a Ford Explorer 2002 Thanks for all the informative videos they are always helpful.

is the resistor in same location for the digital dual climate 2004 explore ? id image part number is different as it more then 4 fan setting

My 2006, 4X4 Explorer does have identical symptoms and the appearance of the components seems identical as well. My concern is that the instructions specifically state that they are for models through 2005 only. In fact, I can't find procedures for a 2006 at all. Should I attempt it? Will the part not work? Is something different? ???

Hey. My 2004 freestar front blower only comes on sometimes. No matter what speed One day it works, next done nothing Back hvac works perfect. Could it be the front resistor?

Are the steps the same for a 2005 explorer sport trac?

On my 2005 navigator it stopped blowing cold air and the blower won’t stop are these symptoms of a bad resistor or climate control Thanks

Hey Brian i have a 2005 mustang that the ac only works on low even if i change the fan speed. I changed the resistor but the problem persists, what could it be?

Invaluable info...

Hey, I changed the resistor and it worked fine on all 4 settings for like a week but now again it only works at 4, any ideas ?

I used 1/4 deep 8mm socket for the job - its is very tight and the wire harness gets in the way while you contour yourself under the glove box to change it out. Thanks for the video.

the blower motor doesn't work at all on my 02 expedition,I checked the two wire plug going into the motor and I have one hot wire with the switch on but the blower don't work on any speed, any suggestion?

Sir: here is a problem that has me stumped. 2001 Expedition, Eddie Bauer. The blower motor stayed on the other night with the engine off and key out of the ignition. By morning the battery was dead. It was as if the relay was stuck, so I replaced the relay. But problem happened again tonight. So I removed the new relay, as power for the blower motor goes thru the relay. But the blower motor was still on with the relay removed. Where is the power coming from? Appreciate any ideas.

its normal that this sensor that you remove, warming up? beacause when i turn on it so hot and i know now if its normal or not actualy i disconet it to prevent damage.

Hello ford tech, i followed you tech and it's fix thanks for the tip, i have a cuestion... The only thing don't work is the left switch the only way work its in defrost windshield...

i have a 2008 expedition and after changing the blower module the blower stops blowing on high and after a bit it come back on and back off again. what could be the issue. the blower motor.

Hello..i have a ford explorer 1996 and the ac work.but when i turn on the heater the ac turn on and blow cold air..so the heater it doesnt work..its blow cold air in the two ways..what would be the problems?

I need help- 2008 Explorer - no power to the blower motor. I replaced the speed selector switch - still no power

thanks for this video, this is what my problem is. now i know i can replace it myself. how much did you pay for the replacement part? and 3 days ago my A/C stopped blowing cold air, so im going to try to find a solution for that as well.

Mine only worked on 4, now it doesn’t at all. Any ideas?

Hi, can you share the AC System wiring diagram fro 2006 Explorer please?

I have a 2006 f150 mine don't turn on at all not even on 4 and the fan works but it don't thorw out any air at all any help?

What if the blower works on all settings but only blows air to the back and window defrost, it's 02 explorer

Hey my ac works but when I switch it to heat it starts making a loud noise and blows out cold air. Can you help me???

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer sport trac, mine also only works on high. Is this the same setup I can use to fix mine, or do I have to go under the hood? Great video by the way.

I have an '04 Mercury Mountaineer AWD (also has rear controls). The front blower only works on 4, all other components seem to work ok, except that when I adjust the temperature, there is a knocking sound for a few seconds while it seems to be adjusting. Any idea where I'd begin trouble shooting this? Also, will the same component you changed to fix the blower work on the mountaineer? I think they are the same for the most part.

I have a 2008 ford escape and i did change that part and it was working perfect for a couple of weeks and now i have the same problem how can i fix that please if somebody can help me

I have a 2004 and I'm having a similar issue with the speed selector, 1 & 2 don't work, 3 & 4 do. I'll have to get my hands on one of those boards. I do have another issue with the air flow selector, it does not direct the air to the floor or the defrost, it only goes to the cabin, what could be the reason for that?

I have an 2002 Ford Explorer and I am experiencing intermittent blower failure. It will always blow to the defrosters but it only blows in the dash board/under the radio when it wants too. Would this be the resistor card also?

I have a 2005 Explorer in a/c no problems but in heat the blower will not work on any setting

Hey bro i have a 2002 explorer and the ac blows cold but the air flow out the vents is very weak and its loud ?? Can u give me a tip please

On my 4th one. Replaced blower motor and they still keep blowing. Fortunately the auto store replaced the first one 3 times for free. Now I'm buying mine on ebay for 1/3rd the price. Thinking about bypassing it somehow so I don't have to keep buying them. Easy to replace but cannot figure out why they keep blowing.

I've got an 04 explorer xls. My AC blows out of the defroster on the dash and my air vents. It's hard to drive with this issue because I live in South Florida and it's super humid. When I drive, the wipers fog up. I don't get full power on the vents because of this. Do you know what part I would have to change?

Just ordered the resister, I have a 02 ford explorer. My other issue is when the blower motor is running and I try switching the position for vents it really only comes out of defrost and by your feet faintly. Any ideas there?

I have an'07 Fusion that every couple of months the blower fan shuts off for a couple of seconds - speed setting has no effect on the problem - this might happen a few times then it's fine. It's so intermittent It's not a big problem, just strange.

1,2, and 4 work for me only 3 don't work im assuming it's the same problem

I just had one this winter that the resistor was bad and the fan speed switch connector had burned up.

How about a 2007 model? Will this work for my model as well?

"Everything works great, except you have to blast it in your face all the time" lolol Thanks a lot tho. Thanks for the link as well.

I have a similar issue with an '06 Explorer. The only difference is both 3 and 4 work but 1 and 2 are dead. Rear heat also works fine. How likely is it that this card is the fault?

Also worked on a 2006 2WD 3.0 Ford-500, Thanks. Exact setup/problem, Dnt know if you want to add to title/ not, but the same Location, Part, procedure,

That connector is accessed by removing the glove box, Right?

My problem exactly

Ok so what if at first 1,2,&3 weren't working and now its not even working on 4? Are you saying that because it no longer even works on 4 that the problem must be something else because you said something about using it on 4 by-passes the resistor card, didn't you?

I am having problem with my 2002 explorer on the position dial, it seems to always blow straight at you even when you put it on full defroster, do you have a video dealing with the position dial?

im guessing its moisture from the HVAC unit or basicly useing a/c:P

Settings 1-3 are low speed, 4 is normal high speed. Same resister?

What the hell is 4x2
