2010-2012 ford fusion HVAC blower Motor issue

This is a simple fix for a issue with fords fusion, mercury millian, and Lincoln MKZ 2010-2012 with an automatic AC control unit. This is also a fix for 06-09

[@antonythompson4123]

I owe you a beer! 2011 Fusion blower stopped last night here in Wisconsin. 9 degs this morning and no heater. 5 mins after watching your vid problem fixed (wiggled wiring harness). Great stuff my friend and THANK YOU!!

[@young-salamander]

So grateful for persons such as you that take the time to do this videos. You are a blessing to many people. Thank You! ♥♥♥

[@00jrio]

Thanks a lot for this video. It was quite helpful. I replaced the blower motor away, the blower motor resistor, and the resistor harness. I will note that I needed to also replace the blower motor connector/harness (WPT-1188). Folks should be sure to check that connector as well during their troubleshooting.

[@thaxtonwaters8561]

So many ppl with the same problem...Why the fck did Ford not recall this? ...btw you saved me some 🧀 HALLELUYAH!!! #400

[@bronco197879]

You just saved me a whole bunch of time...checked fuse good, checked relay good...hit you tube and happened to hit ur video first...reached up and wiggled stuff and now i have defrost tomorrow morning...will get it straightened out and fixed right...thanks!

[@phxwarrior]

Today it was 116° in PHX, the Ford fusion fan cutoff. I came home a watched this video helpful! Thank you for explaining about the wiring and connections, now the fans are working again. No more sauna seating in the car

[@sfnole8207]

My fusion has this problem and you probably just saved me a lot of repeat problems because I would not have replaced all three...thank you

[@GreysonJonesgreysonofusa]

Same damn thing happened to me. Thanks for the information. Hopefully this will save me labor costs!

[@JuanManuelH007]

Thank you for this video. The harness and the pin connectors were not making contact. You save me a lot of time and money. Thank you again.

[@VEED_BALLYARD]

Thank you so much bro!!!! Been confused all day and sure enough I went and play around with the connector a lil bit and my ac starts blowing again

[@depsce]

man you just don't know how much i appreciate your video thanks buddy

[@keithpetersen560]

I have an 07 fusion and my blower goes on and off and stays off. I had no idea where this stuff was. Checked my connector and it looks good. So probably the resistor and or the blower are the issue. Now I have to price them from Ford. Great video.

[@TayschrennSedai]

The pigtail NAPA/Autozone didn't have, so that's $60 from Ford -_- but the motor and resistor are much cheaper after market. Luckily I've caught mine before my resistor went out, so I'm doing the pigtail and motor today. Very, very helpful video, thank you.

[@NotTelling51]

Where'd you get a cheaper resistor? I have same issue.

[@rogelioromero7762]

Wow talk about wiggling the cables holy shit I was freezing thanks man I owe you

[@tjmixmasta]

This is exactly what happened to me. Thanks for the video.

[@mattwalker3145]

Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Very helpful.

[@coldsteel86]

Thanks for posting this video. Now I know what my problem is.

[@luxurycarkey7207]

Why would ford make a small connector that small that draws so much power it burns out..my ac went out when it was 90 degrees yesterday...i ordered the blower and connector..this video was very helpful ford should have recalled this ac problem...

[@jeffreycordova9082]

Thank you so much for this video! Every single thing you described was spot on with my case.

[@cedharris3702]

Just watched your video and it helped 100%!!!!! Thanks a million

[@bighog6]

When you change out this part, keep the old part, and only buy Ford part from the Ford house. Mine just went out again. It was from oriellys.. I didn’t replace the connector this time and just put the old ford part back on and it seems to be working like a dream. The connector may be the only thing you need to replace. But I’m really starting to think that the computer on mine is wack. I mean they placed it apparently right over the engine, so hot summers practically fry the computer. In the summer I unhook the both blend door actuators and hook them back up once fall hits. Just FYI

[@ek0269]

Great post. You saved me a lot of time!

[@juanz0278]

Thanks for posting, saved me a good 200 dollars!

[@KAUBn8r007]

Connector pigtail is $40 at Walmart's online store, sometimes can find it on amazon for $38. Resistor is cheap, but went with motorcraft fan due to iffy reviews of other fans.

[@theresaedwards5819]

Very good video!! Thanks

[@thegreatgastby66]

Thanks for posting. Huge help.

[@jc9354]

This helped out a lot. Thanks.

[@CP-vi9lx]

Thank you for all the good info!

[@showercurtaintowel]

Wow. Thank you so much!!!

[@thatssoporsche4244]

This video was so helpful, thanks.

[@arkyandy9612]

Hey man, thank you so much, this got the ok lady's car back on the road. Saved me a ton, also made me look like a mechanic. It was the resistor for me

[@arkyandy9612]

$160 for resistor $81 for fan motor Both master craft parts

[@barneyc3659]

Arky Andy , you can buy that plug new from Ford for about 25 bucks.

[@vancekuto]

thank you sir, very helpful video.

[@dragonflysurgeon]

thanks for the video. Trying to get the parts online but can only find the resistor. Service department quoted me $680.00 + tax for the fix, resistor and connector installed

[@mrperfect87106]

Thanks for the info. I changed out everything, but now the Max A/C won't work. Also, it's not blowing as hard as it was before I changed everything out.

[@amandaross8867]

Same exact thing with my 2012...mechanic changed connector and resistor...now max ac won't work and its barely blowing air thru vents...

[@kylencallum8743]

This a continuing issue for my 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid… I have changed it multiple times from this video but why does it keep happening? How do i prevent it ? How could I stop this problem with changing it out everytime?

[@jeromewieland]

Great video thank you!!!

[@nomanjones4803]

Did you smell a plastic burning smell, before this happend, on my car a 2010 fusion with the auto heat, every once in a while I will get a very strong smell like plastic burning but only last about 2 min, the goes away. Did yours do this?

[@yourboyruben5548]

Noman Jones yes from it burning it self up

[@arthurpetryakov6836]

Thanks a lot for the info, as a few others pointed out it’s pretty surprising this didn’t have a recall on it. Another very common issue I’ve noticed which I’m now dealing with is the led going out on the stereo portion of the front-center interface. I was wondering if you know any possible causes and/or solutions this problem as well? Thanks again for the help!

[@glencosta830]

Same both blower motor resistor and Led issue.

[@rrockich]

NOTE: I replaced all wiring, blower motor, resistor AND factory cabin air filter - worked for a while and now melted again. Some are saying a ground wire or two needs to be added in order to prevent this from happening again. I am currently searching for info on how to do this because I don't want to waste any more time/effort/money!

[@rrockich]

Spoke to a wiring guy ... he recommended against additional ground as it might mess with the control module. Recommended instead to buy a motor from Federated Auto (Four Seasons blower motor). If it fails before the year warranty is up, swap it out for a new one. Hate that I have to babysit this forever and ever now, but I don't want to do this repair ever again!

[@kentavianparamore5717]

I have the same problem an I’m in the process of fixing it myself. What size socket you used to get the blower resistor off?

[@StrzBtz]

Thanks bro!

[@gary_lav]

Did you probe the blower to make sure that the blower motor itself is actually bad?

[@hoshnerspenta]

When I turn on the fan, nothing turns on until I turn it all the way to the last setting level 4. At that point, ac/heater works fine and air blows like it should. But level 1-3 the blower doesn't engage. What could be the problem? Thanks for your help! REPLY

[@itzjeff13failsandfunnymome50]

Thanks man really appreciate it! I just wiggled the cables from were you said the problem is and it sarted working again!! That part with the different colored cables wasn't burned tho you think it was just loose?

[@NETTAHER28]

Went to the junk yard and pulled a bunch of resistors off of the fusion's. I've changed it like 4 times now

[@rballadarez]

This should have been recalled by Ford

[@Bigbear4224]

You can tell this guy has done this job before lol. Great video sir, thank you! I am on my 3rd time changing these parts. I will give you guys a tip, buy everything from Rockauto.com and you will thank yourself for the warranty they stand behind! They are awesome for all of us American's!

[@fernando57ize]

I have 2006 Mercury Milan my power windows don't work inside light don't work let me know what the problem

[@mandyjayne1186]

Fernando Marin maybe you should google it dumbass

[@henryfitzthum7563]

I've thought I fixed this issue, I replaced resistor, blower motor, wiring harness plug into resistor, after approx 6 months it's doing the same thing again, I'm thinking now to maybe replacing wiring harness cause something must be drawing to much current to cause overheating

[@jimkalfakis9893]

Hey I know this video is a little old. Rock Auto sells the resistor for less than 20 bucks and the connector is like 15 bucks.

[@DeruUeruddo]

So, what was the cause?

[@muhammadsheharyar3506]

Hi, I have ford fusion 2011 with dual climate control. my blower goes off sometime and then turns on . when it is running I try to run the blower on different speeds which it runs fine. I checked the connector at resistor and found out that middle connection is burnt. I ordered the motor and connector. do you think I need to replace the resistor as well? its 200 bucks for resistor.....

[@charliewillis5838]

I DON'T THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE RESISTOR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR THAT IS PLUGGED INTO THE FAN BLOWER AND IT WOULD START BLOWING. THAT DOES NOT WORK NOW, COULD IT BE BENT PRONGS

[@steverank2391]

i have replaced all 3 parts and the fan still doesn't work some times whats next?

[@davidjsouth231]

2010 Ford Fusion 129k, auto air. Blower motor just replaced, sometimes I have to reach under and wiggle wires

[@davidjsouth231]

I got an OEM blower motor off Amazon

[@sorrywhenisignin1979]

Same problem I believe I need a replacement wire because I seen it melted, how you happen to fix that problem?

[@paulheinl9684]

You aren't going to like my answer, to fix the problem you need the resistor connector, the resistor, and blower motor if you haven't replaced that. 90 for the resistor, 90 for the motor, 60 for the resistor connector from Autozone. Be sure to take photos of your resistor and connector plug so you get the correct one. There are different ones, so you don't get the wrong ones. The connector plug that you get from Autozone will have really long wires. So disconnect the one in your car and cut the wires just behind the factory connector. Leave about 3/8" of wire sticking out of the plug so you can match the wires up correctly. If you wire it wrong, you'll fry the resistor. I got male and female connectors from Walmart, crimped them onto the wires, that way if I have to replace again I can just disconnect them easily.

[@kiyooodirty]

thanks homie

[@SidhantAgnihotri94]

I have a same problem, if i hit on a motor it starts working again but it makes noise when it moves,, so is it a motor Problem or a resistor problem?

[@Seoulmanaja]

I dont know if this is a stupid question but when you cut the wire and u put the heat shrink connecting wrap....how is that done? Can someone direct me to a video of how its done?

[@jeffreyderoche4499]

This happens so often that maybe you should just use quick connectors on the plug.

[@BiggDogg4864]

I'm in the process of replacing my blower motor on my 2012 Fusion an I'm wondering if I have to take the glove box off?

[@tredelgado2263]

Rich Licklider you can it’s super easy. All you do is squeeze the sides the glove box will drop out and a string will be attached. You just slide it back and let the glove box down a little more. It should come right out.

[@nikkozurawski998]

Does anyone know how to replace the connector? As in, crimping the wires together? This is the part I'm nervous about doing.

[@coldsteel86]

Not trying to be a butt, but if you feel uncomfortable about spicing wires together. You should look into taking it to a garage.

[@keithpetersen560]

How do you get the resistor out without damage. I removed the screw and it seems like I need to pry a tab or something before the resistor comes out. I don't want to break anything and cause damage.

[@paulkusibab4269]

Pull the tab towards passenger door. it's meant to be handled

[@keithpetersen560]

Thanks. I found them a week ago. There are 2 very flat black tabs that you can barely see and a very flat screwdriver is needed. Once I figured it out, it came out. Thanks for getting back.

[@Sassette_Smurfette]

Keith Petersen how do I know if my temperature is automatic or manual? I was told manual but my knobs looks like this one. Its a 2012

[@keithpetersen560]

Fifty, if it says auto on the knob like in this video, then it is auto. If you have the original MSRP, it should say on it as well.

[@Sassette_Smurfette]

Keith Petersen thanks

[@Youn-G84]

You can find all these parts on amazon, and they will tell you ON THE AMAZON SITE before you buy it if its gonna fit your model car or not. I saved a ton of money getting all this stuff. Blower motor = $50, and resistor and connectors were $45 all together.....not ford parts either.....dont waste money fahm!🧰

[@beewit2es1]

What’s your cash app!!!! It worked !!!!!!!

[@sarahfreih4197]

I Paid 20 bucks for my resistor at O'Reilly's

[@AbrahamWeissRIP_Deb]

Sarah Freih you must not have the duel zone option

You are correct :)
