I had / have this exact same problem. Fan only works on high. Repair shop replaced the resister and it worked two days, then back to original failure. Shop replaced resister again thinking it was defective. Failed again two days latter. I'll try to fix it myself and will post the fix if I can figure it out. THANK YOU for the nice suggestion, glad it worked for others !!!

These poor resistors have a hard life. To survive, they need the slot in the air stream to be cooled. A bad design, but not only from Ford ;-) Thank you for sharing. Cheers Bernd

Would this be the fix if… I will turn on the AC it works fine and then the blower start slowing down kind of a puttering to a stop. I’ll turn the unit off and then a couple minutes later turn it back on and it will work fine and then the fan again will slow down puttering to a stop.

Probably not...usually the speeds don’t work at all. It’s a pretty cheap part though so maybe take a gamble and change it out....

@cheftush6 жыл бұрын
mdaycoc I had done some reading up on the Ford F-150 forums and this seems like it's a pretty common issue. So, I took a low risk chance and ordered the part. If it was a higher dollar fix, I would have pulled out my meter and done some electrical diagnostics but as it was it turned out ok.

Didn't fix mine, blower went out after getting a new battery. Weird I know. It looked burnt up so I figured it was the culprit but still not working. Blend door thingy is next to replace. 2nd one on my 2011 f150. Trying everything before I drop 150 on a new blower motor.

Usually you will still have at least one speed on the fan so I’m not sure the resistor is the issue. Having said that, it’s easy enough and cheap enough to replace and cross it off the list off items to check.
