When to Replace

  • Blower fan only operates on the highest speed setting
  • Fan speed cannot be adjusted
  • No air blows from the vents at any speed
  • Intermittent fan operation

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning installation.
  • The resistor is typically located behind the glove box on the passenger side of the vehicle.
  • Inspect the blower motor when replacing the resistor. A failing motor can draw excessive current and cause the new resistor to fail prematurely.
  • Ensure the electrical connector is clean, free of corrosion, and seats securely.

4 SIMPLE STEPS

4 SIMPLE STEPS

1. Access to your resistor (usually behind/ under the glove box); 2. Release the 2 screws that secure the resistor to the housing; 3. Unplug the wire harness from the resistor connector by carefully releasing its tab with a flat-head screwdriver; 4. Reinstall with the new resistor. You can put some dielectric grease on in the resistor connector housing to avoid water intrusion.

FAQ

The most common sign is when your HVAC fan only operates on the highest speed setting. If the fan fails to blow at all on lower settings but works on high, or if you notice inconsistent fan speeds, the resistor is likely failing and unable to regulate the voltage to the blower motor.
This part is designed for various Ford vehicles, specifically the Ford E-150, E-150 Club Wagon, and E-150 Econoline.
This is generally considered a straightforward repair. In most compatible Ford E-Series models, the resistor is located under the passenger side dashboard near the blower motor housing. You will typically need a basic socket set or screwdriver to remove the mounting screws and the electrical connector. Most DIYers can complete this replacement in 20 to 30 minutes.
These resistors are subjected to high heat during operation. Over time, the internal thermal fuse can blow or the coils can corrode due to moisture and debris buildup in the HVAC housing. Once the internal circuitry is compromised, it can no longer provide the stepped-down voltage required for lower fan speeds.
Yes. It is highly recommended to inspect the blower motor itself. If the blower motor is drawing too much amperage due to worn bearings or debris obstruction, it will cause the new resistor to overheat and fail prematurely. Ensure the fan spins freely by hand before installing the new resistor.
