Worked nicely to remove a mouse nest from the blower housing on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer that stays parked outside and covered most of the time. Only difference was the need to remove a small switch that blocked the reservoirs from sliding forward. I guess the switch activated the light underneath the hood when it is raised. Thanks for the tutorial. I've got 250k miles on the Merc and plan to drive it until the wheels fall off. And guidance like you provide makes that easier to do on a budget.

@d0gg0d I would check the plug to the blower motor first to see if there is current going to it when the heater is on. if there is, the blower motor is likely bad. If there isn't current current going to the plug then you may want to check the fuse to see if it's bad.

Advance Auto wanted to charge me $75 for the part alone, no installation. If I had a garage do it, I guarantee it would have been $100 minimum for labor. All told, with the part I bought off ebay new, it cost me an hour and $38. Needless to say, I'm a happy guy. :)

There could be an issue with either a wire or it could be the resistor or the motor. Your best bet would be to check to see if you are getting power up to the motor with the switch turned on to each position,

My 96 blower isnt making any noise, but i have to give it a wack with a rubber mallet for it to come on while the key is on and fan switch is engaged for it to start spinning. Ive noticed over time that this trick doesnt work for as long. A few months ago, I could hit it once and it would work for a month or 2, but now if i do it it will work until I turn it off, and then it wont start again until i give it a wack again.

The previous own more than likely by-passed the heater core because it was leaking. Thats' more than likely why you have no heat and it smells like antifreeze in the cab of the truck.

Usually when you loose the different speed settings it's a sign of the blower motor resistor going bad.
