Blower Motor & Resistor Replacement 06 Ford Focus

I recently replaced the blower motor and resistor on my 2006 Ford Focus. The old motor had stopped working, so I purchased a new one from Amazon and installed it. Additionally, I noticed a burning smell coming from the blower resistor, so I decided to replace it for safety reasons. I used Kobalt tools for the job.

Awesome! Thanks for being so thorough...even down to the size of the wrench one needs.

[@Foldisfitch]

Thanks! I got them in and it worked. The resister was pretty easy. The hardest part was putting the new blower back in...the screw holes were too tight to hand start the screws. Holding the blower up with one hand and ratcheting the screws in with the other was tough...ended up having my son hold the blower up while I put in the screws.

[@abrahamg4128]

You have an art of showing people how to do things.

[@channelron3593]

Thanks but still learning the process.

[@EndDims]

I had to replace the blower motor on some other vehicles. The Focus looks VASTLY easier. I've found most repairs on Foci to be pretty easy, with the exception of alternator replacement.

[@mjay8623]

Loved this video I order the two parts getting it done next week. You save me a trip to garage shop and money! Thank you😊

[@WebofShadows19]

I recharged my AC, and it would blow cold for a minute but get warm soon after. I had a feeling it was the motor or the resistor. This video helped so much, thank you!

[@josedaniel4725]

Sounds like my issue? 2011 Focus SE after freon boost would work 2 -3 weeks and then I switched to maximum to get cold air 😅 good luck 🤞🏼

[@channelron3593]

Thanks for sharing

[@jenniferellis2044]

Excellent video tutorial with easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much! You helped me fix my heat without an obnoxious garage bill. No more freezing on my way to work. It's working fantastic now! 😊

[@channelron3593]

Glad it helped!

[@melodienoel3777]

I guarantee that car does not have one standard bolt or nut on it. 5/16" is the same as 8mm fortunately. Thanks for the straight to the point video. Just what I needed.

[@channelron3593]

Yep you are Correct, thanks

[@forever39]

Thanks , showed this to my son and he was able to replace the blower resistance, Problem solved. 4/28/24. BEFORE: vent was only blowing air when I turn the knob on the highest level

[@STAMPSTAMP82]

Thanks boss...done in less than an hour.

[@garlandskateparkguy9372]

Sir I would like to thank you very much I have not fixed mine yet but it seems pretty simple and I'm ordering my parts today and if I can I'll get back with you and let you know how it all works but it appears to be easier than I thought it would thank you very much

[@OneActor-MultipleRoles]

Short video, right to the point. Took me 6:52 to watch the and about a 1/2 hr to install. Thank you so much!

[@channelron3593]

Your welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@NathanReevesnate808]

now replace the blend box! :op

[@AlexeiTreBamm]

Excellent video! Thank you for taking time to explain the swap. Very well-edited too, by the way!

[@channelron3593]

Thank!!

[@johncooper7242]

excellent tutorial clear and concise. I Wish that I had found this before tackling my own 2003 Focus heater fan issue yesterday. I guess we often use different words to describe the same thing either side of the pond. I went looking for 'non working heater fan ' so your video didn't show up for me. Terrific editing by the way.

[@user-wi6eb9ui7u]

Thanks for the video. But my question is How do you if your blown motor is bad ? Thanks

[@channelron3593]

Well in this case it was just not Turing fast

[@CarlsSteak]

Thank-you so much....very helpful.

[@channelron3593]

You are welcome!

[@atanasilinchev1344]

Thanks for the video!!!

[@channelron3593]

You bet!

[@hoodiecat251]

Great video, Ron. Thank you!

[@guidoalting7409]

You are the best👊👍

[@markchurch5430]

Mine has started nasty screeching. Was in the trade many years but 77 years old now but will attempt this if it is that easy. Hope RHD is the same procedure !

[@channelron3593]

Take your time you will be fine.

[@leekronforst4589]

Don't let Amazon sell you the wrong size wiper blades with the it fits your fill in the blank. Just spreading the word. Great video.

[@channelron3593]

Thanks for the input (:

[@sharong8841]

How do I know it isn’t the blower motor switch that has failed? When I turn the a/c fan controller it feels “ disconnected” , just turns with no feeling of connection. It does however cause the little light to come in indication that the a/c has been activated.

[@channelron3593]

Check fuses and make sure the Resistor is not defective?

[@sharong8841]

How did you hold the new blower motor up while trying to get the screws into the holes at the same time in that tiny space under the dash?

[@channelron3593]

Ya that is tough you can try holding or put something under it.

[@krimage3]

Super ! Merci l ami 😊

[@NathanReevesnate808]

is it a good idea to remove neg battery cable or not necessary?

[@RaiderDoug33]

Thanks for the video. Made changing my blower and resistor very easy. The only thing you forgot to mention was the contorting I had to do to get the blower back in lol.

[@giamo_co8760]

Great video, very well done!

[@channelron3593]

Thanks!

[@josedaniel4725]

Before I start buying parts my 2011 Focus SE is blowing on 1,2,3,4 but not cool as well but on Max it's cold. Freon was added and good but before that it was lasting 2-3 weeks? Trouble shooting and a video showed pressure switch? Trying to save money as I only get paid monthly VA check. Thanks for your video 👍🏼

[@channelron3593]

Your Welcome!

[@donaldchristian3069]

Great video! Thanks

[@channelron3593]

Your Welcome, Thanks for watching.

[@fredriknilsson2437]

Great video 👍

[@christopherpeterson6237]

Ron the blower turns on at 10 percent power for 30 seconds then stops working.does the blower need replacing? thanks chris

[@channelron3593]

Sounds like just the resistor

[@philliphamilton5435]

How much money did you pay for the other piece with the blower motor

[@channelron3593]

About $45.00 amzn.to/3LEwE7a

[@jeffvolmer6152]

Ron, my blower stopped working completely at all speeds. I had it on setting 3 and was blowing fine then just stopped. (2007 SE)The fuse is good. Is this the blower motor or something else? Selector switch?

[@channelron3593]

usually this is caused by the blower resistor.

[@bomberi1109]

​@@channelron3593 hey, i had the classic problem, first 3 speeds not working and the 4th worked perfectly. a couple days ago even the 4th speed was gone, so i changed the resistor. now the blower fuse goes out everytime i try to use the blower. any ideas?

[@Deluhsional]

does this work for an 09 focus?

[@channelron3593]

Not sure they are all somewhat the same.

[@thedave7760]

Hi Ron. I have a 2006 which works on setting 3 and 4 but not on 1 and 2. Is this likely to be a resistor pack/ or as someone else said it might be the switch on the dash. Can the resistor pack work with just 3 and 4? will the resistor pack break as a whole or can it just stop working on 1 and 2? Really pleased with the car as a whole.

[@channelron3593]

Yes I would agree the resistor pack would be my fist guess.

[@thedave7760]

@@channelron3593 Cheers Ron.

[@UkatzGaming]

Which was it?

[@MoodSwingZX]

Thats focus mk1?

[@channelron3593]

SE

[@albaboss7995]

I have same problem with ford focus station wagon 2010...But I cant find the fan under that lock...do anybody know where its locatied?

[@buzzingadventures1980]

Do you get a chirping sound, when the blower motor plays up?' I've got a 2006 ford focus estate and the Aircon makes a chirping cricket sound when it's on..wondered if the motor has gone faulty

[@channelron3593]

Wow! sounds like the motor ore maybe something in the unit, once you take it out, look up and see if it is clear?

[@GetRealBaby]

Sir, you quickly skipped over the hardest part of the removal of the resistor process by pretending you hadn't already pushed the resistor tab in to free the resistor. Instead, you just pulled the harness connector straight out saying, "Pull the connector on there..." at time 3:09. Not too swift. I'm sure you had a hard time getting at that tab that holds the resistor harness in place, otherwise you would have shown that step in detail. For those who are going to replace their resistor, keep in mind it might be best to remove the entire resistor BEFORE you pull the harness out of its slot. This will give you a better grip on the resistor with both hands instead of doing it with only one hand. The tab is pushed IN to release the resistor, not pulled out. If your Focus has a hex-head screw instead of a Phillips screw holding the resistor in place, use an 8mm socket. A 5/16 socket may work as well. Also, you did a Cluster Phuck of removing the Air Deflector. Had you tilted the deflector up from its horizontal position to a vertical position, it would have slid right down and out. Didn't you view any KZbin videos before making yours? Good luck to you.

Rock Auto and eBay are both cheaper than Amazon today. And Amazon is doing horrible damage to our economy anyway, so bonus being able to stick it to 'em.

[@TheOmaJohn]

I was looking for brands I recognized or could confirm were American companies. Most of what Amazon sells is chicom.

[@channelron3593]

Thanks for the input, and thanks for supporting my channel.

[@Clonerro]

5/16 inch bolt or 10mm if you are not homo americanus :P why you people use imperial system in XXI century!? aaanyway good tutorial hope it will help me replacing my fan in european version of focus MK II :)
