Fan blower switch only works on High....Now what? Ford Econoline Van

[@LostinTimeYT]

Thank you for the vid. Both sides of connector was melted on mine. $26 kit at Advance Auto had the plug and the pigtail, now all fan speeds are working.

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Awesome!! So glad you got it working!!😎🤘

[@AndrewGulak]

Very glad I saw this before I started ripping my dash apart. I have the part already, and assumed it was right behind the switch. Thanks a ton mister!

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Thank you for the kind words!!

[@user-th1ex2pi6s]

Thanks!! was about to change the switch on the dash...........Ill give this a shot first!!

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Hope it works for you!!

[@Lloydski]

This vid is old but get the parts on Amazon half the price same parts all made over seas of coarse. FYI Sometimes the wires/pigtail also melt behind the switch itself you can also buy a new switch and pigtail also for that. How I got I here don't even know but I love watching repair vids.

[@jefflancaster6587]

Sept 16 2021..Amazon is $10 higher than my local auto zone on these Ford blower resistors.

[@davidbryant957]

Fantastic video. After watching it, I said to myself "This is perfect, except I'm going to disconnect the resistor from the connector so I don't need to buy a new connector and splice it in." HAHAHA! Forget about it! I wrestled with that thing with screwdrivers, pliers, vice grips, you name it. Such a waste of 30 minutes. I came right inside afterwards and ordered the new connector. Overall easy repair, and it's great not to have the fan blasting on high constantly. Thank you!

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Thank you David!!! I'm glad you got it fixed!! 🙂

[@kieranjones3958]

Thanks for the information 2016 Econoline and it was correct fix Got all parts from O'Reilly's in a kit including harness and splices. $30 😊

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Awesome!!

[@dennisriblett4622]

You just saved Me the cost of the dash switch ...2022 ...on a 1999 Ford E-250 the resistor was toasted when I got it out ! And the corrosion made it super hard to separate the plug ...Got it but am changing it out also ...

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Yeah mine was corroded also and I couldn’t separate the plug. Thank you for watching my video!! 🤘😎🤘

Gary, thank you for watching my video!!! Yeah, where I live there's Pepboys, Autozone, Advance Auto, Napa, and O'Reilly's Auto - all within about 5-10 miles from my house!

[@chodge8366]

great video. I bought a used e250 and this is the exact problem

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Thanks for watching my video!

[@chodge8366]

that plug melts onto the connector and makes it very difficult to come out . i used my osculating tool to cut grooves deep enough to break it apart. it worked great

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Cool idea!! I know what you mean....very difficult to separate that connection.

[@sammysokosammysoko]

so before I buy this part, I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I have a 2003 Econoline 150, and the switch would blow the same on all settings except high. on high it would blow really hard, but all of the other settings were The lowest blower speed. so in other words I only had two speeds, low on the first three dots, and then high. yesterday it stopped blowing at all on any of the settings, but the compressor works fine and if I set it on normal AC and drive on the highway air conditioning pushes through the vents so I know the problem is either the switch behind the dash itself, or this resistor. any idea which it might be?

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Thank you for your question! I'm not sure if you've seen this video from this Ford mechanic...very well explained!! Mayb it will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIKpfGZuh9GBmq8si=lhRS_cS-GCwa5d9L

I have the exact same thing with my 2004 E250 - my local mechanic told me it would be $300-400 to fix it! :-o

Did you end up fixing it yourself?

[@richey_rock]

@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more I got the parts delivered today and just done fixing it. And I realized I have a 2003 just like yours. Your guide helped make it super easy! Thanks!

[@mikemiklavic1930]

Would this be the same on a powerstroke model?

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Very good question…..I’m not sure. I would think the blower assembly should be in the same spot, but I’m just guessing.

[@kar15bigdog]

Mine is going bad too maybe is the same issue. Doesn't blow much in second and third but in high blows more

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Yeah, mine only worked on low and the other fan speeds didn't work. Hopefully if you change out the part and put in a new one it works for you. Good luck!

[@kar15bigdog]

@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more I'll look at it soon. Thank you

[@cecilkjohnson]

Many thanks! This was exactly my issue.

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

[@N9IWJ]

It would have been a good idea to replace the resistor also when you had it out that's why the wires heated up

[@giterdun1864]

where the resistor located?

[@Jayden_roblox24]

that is the resistor

[@N9IWJ]

@@giterdun1864 okay I thought you said you just replaced the harness I was just saying to replace the resistor also it was all corroded

[@pakopollak2077]

Thanks bro you are big boss

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Thank you!!

[@chuckhansen8291]

Either the resistor is out or the the switch is out

[@BESTOFTHEABOVE]

Are the parts the same for a 1999 econoline?

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Not sure if the parts will be the same......check into Napa online, O'reillys auto parts, or what store might be near you and enter the make, model and year of your vehicle. You might even consider going to ford.oempartsonline.com/ to get a part number and it should cross reference a aftermarket part.

Not sure if the part #'s will still be the same but I got these from Advance Auto Parts a couple of years ago. Blower Motor resistor - RU1138 Electrical connector - PT766

@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more thank you very much for answering my question.

[@CLOWEN2010]

My issue is similar, my fan only worked on 1 , 2, 3, and 4 for a few days, now today it only blows on 1,2,3 .... doesn’t blow on 4, 5 setting on the dial. Could it be the same thing as yours?

[@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more]

Hmmm……very strange. I know mine only worked on high, and when I changed the resistor part , it worked fine afterwards…..not really sure what else could be wrong with yours……possibly the fan switch itself? There is a Ford mechanic guy on KZbin that had a video about this very topic. Maybe that could help? I hope you can get it working!!

[@davidrogers6709]

@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more My fan only worked on low, but your vid unknowingly shows solution... you changed plug to resister whereas I changed only resister! Thanks for solving my nightmare, 115 Arizona heat.

The resistor was rusted and needed replacement ,but the wiring harness was stuck on and I really couldn't remove it so I bought the replacement wiring harness also.

Oh man....sorry to hear that. There's a Ford mechanic who produced a video similar to mine and he went more in depth on other factors that could be the culprit .....I believe he even mentioned the fan switch could be bad....I'm noy positive on that. I hope you get it figured out 🙂

my blower quit altogether. i wish the SUN would come out, cause its dark in there.

It's the resistor.

Did you have air through the front vents when it was running only on high, or just through the windshield and floor vents? Thanks.

Keenan, yes I did have air coming through the front vents and I checked too make sure it was coming through the floor and windshield vents, and it was. Hope this helps you out! 🙂
