I had bought an 07 expedition last year and when purchased the seller told me they had just changed the fan blower. A month in and the truck stop blowing A/C. The back ones worked so I used those to cool down but never really decided to take it to a dealership or try to check it myself. I watch this video, took out the resistor and it looked new so I thought it would be a bigger issue that just the resistor. I turn on the truck and the A/C started to work. Saved myself a couple hundred dollars and who ever installed the resistor put it on upside down. I’m happy now! Thanks for the video

Hello from Arizona. Thank you for sharing this video! I had the same problem, ordered the part and replaced it.. Went exactly like you said it would! Saved me hundreds in auto repair for sure. Thank you again!

@Citizen-pg8eu Жыл бұрын

When I touched the wires at the start of the process, the fan came on. So, I got a stress ball and jammed it in there. Problem solved! It lasted for years, and was still doing the trick when I totaled it last month. Direct hit on the driver door by a new teen driver, spinning me around until I hit the curb on the far side of the intersection, breaking my rear axle. The side airbags, on both sides, were amazing. No injuries at all!

Popped our glovebox out and that made some of it easier. The auto parts store is across the street from where we work, picked it up after work and with some difficulty, actually installed the replacement resistor on the ride home (wife was driving). Yeah, it's "high voltage", but so is she without A/C!!

When you remove the blower motor resistor also take a look at the plug end that plugs into it to see if it is melted. If the end of the wire harness is melted you may want to replace it. This is a fairly easy job. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the great video and link, but the rear vents are the only areas where there is no air coming (heat or cold) and we hear the motor turn on in the back rear when we turn on the 'REAR' climate area to warm up the back cabin, but no air comes out of the rear seats areas. The front two seat vents still work fine. What could be the issue?

@HomeOwnerRepair Жыл бұрын

I know on my truck that the rear climate knob is funky, If it is set too hot it turns the heat off, but if it dial it down a bit it kicks on. It's a weird setup.

@victoryannuzzi7375 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! I have the exact vehicle... The blower is only blowing out cold air on the driver's side. The Fan switch doesn't work on the main AC just the Rear switch is working. My research shows me that the blend door actuator may be bad and seeing very high estimates to tear out the dash to replace it. The AC won't turn off when the car is running... I am going to check the blower motor resistor and the AC relay. Anything else you can suggest?

You may want to see if the fuse has blown going to the blower motor. If it did blow you may want to look for a frayed wire or something that is causing the circuit to blow fuses. Hope this helps you out.

Check the individual connections where you spliced the new pigtail end to the factory harness. One of them may be loose creating the intermittent situation that you are experiencing. Hope this helps you out.

Will a bad resistor cause battery to drain? My blower doesn't shut off when the car is off unless I manually turn the switch to the off position. Even then something continues to drain the battery.

If you switch the motor off on the HVAC panel it should turn off. If it does not there may be something wrong with the switch.
