First, thanks for all the videos!!! Second, I had this issue, took the motor/fan out like you showed and sprayed it down with WD-40. It took me two tries to finally hit that sweet spot, but if anyone out there wants to try that and it works for them and saves money, it worked for me. That was a year and half ago, still quiet.

I brought my 2010 Mercury Milan in TWICE for this issue, and the dealership conveniently couldn't hear any chirping. Finally I gave up and "fixed it" by turning the speed higher or the radio up louder. I had no idea this was a common problem. Now I know how to fix it. Thank you.

Thanks for this, my 2009 was making a chirping noise so I pulled out the motor. Someone on Ebay is selling the Motorcraft replacement for $40 with shipping so I decided to go with that. I've read about some DIY fixes but I figure getting a replacement is the best option.

My 2012 Fusion had this problem and now my 2018 has the same problem. Had it replaced under warranty in April 2019 and again in October 2019. They need a new supplier as the blower motor is a piece of crap. As much as this is on the internet, this has to be a known issue with Ford, but my dealer acts like mine is the first one to fail. I don't believe that for a minute.

For what it's worth, I was able to take off the fan part of the blower motor and clean out the axle and add a touch of lubrication and tighten some of the screws, also when putting the fan back on, I didn't push it back on as far as possible. I have a 2011 ford fusion s (manual for what it's worth), I did check all the electrical connections as well and didn't find anything that looked bad.

The only thing I've been able to find is that Ford said it's normal and there's nothing to be done! Thought you might have seen the issue with your experience? Thanks a lot for the vids.

With so many people reporting a chirping sound with their Ford Fusion blower motors, me being one of them, what exactly is going on within the internals of this motor to cause this issue? Once guy posted a video stating that the hamster cage was rubbing against the molded housing in which the fan is inserted, but I doubt that is the issue with most of these motors, at least that's not what's happening with my motor. When it chirps, I can take my hand and put some pressure on the bottom of the motor unit, which does stop it from chirping for a second or two, so I'm wondering if it's the spinning shank, etc. ???

I suspected the resistor was my issue after watching your video. However when I unplugged the resistor the two prongs in the plug that go to the blower/fan were melted. Is this caused by an issue with the resistor or the blower? Will replacing one or the other solve my problem? Also why wouldn't a fuse have blown before melting the plug? Thanks
@FordTechMakuloco
@FordTechMakuloco 9 жыл бұрын
Anthony Myers Blower could cause this if there is debri in the blower wheel. More likely is water corroded the resistor and caused high resistance and the heating effect which wouldn't blow the fuse. Replace both the pigtail and resistor and inspect that blower.

FordTechMakuloco I took the blower motor our and tested it and it worked. I took the resistor apart and didn't find any corrosion. So I took the pigtail apart and cleaned the melted ends and put it back together. I plugged everything back together and it works now. I'm concerned why the plug would be burned if everything else is still operational.

Hello, I was just working on my wife's car trying to fix the blower, it was totally dead. Checked all the fuses, (you know it's not very easy to get under there and try to figure out how to get the cover off ect. & the ones under the hood) none of them were bad so then I replaced the resistor, still no go... so then I whacked the side of the blower and sure enough it started working. So off I go now to auto zone to order a new blower for $58. My advice to anybody doing this is just whack the blower and see if it starts working. This will save you much time & hassle because if it starts working, you won't need to check the fuses or the resistor.

+Garett Longoria yes, after replacing 3 resistors it was the pigtail that plugs into the resistor that was bad. I paid $62 for a pigtail from ford and spliced it in. It never hurts to replace the blower fan because the bushing grease drips out from heat and also can kill the resistor. Look at the prongs on the resistor. If one is charred, you need a pigtail and a new resistor. Hope this helps.

My blower motor was on and suddenly it stopped blowing for about 15-20 seconds then started again. I also noticed a burnt electrical smell shortly after that. I'm guessing the resistor may be making the smell, but since the motor stills runs on high I'm not sure if the resistor is bad. Should I just replace both or is there something else I should check for the burnt smell? Wires, connector or anything else? By the way mine is a 2012 SEL AWD, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

And then it will also do it when going about 30mph and the engine rpms go way down (like overdrive kicks in). Higher RPMs make it stop. When the AC is off, it doesn't do it. Any ideas?

It is hard to say without hearing for myself. I do know the new ones there is still some noise especially on low so I am thinking it is normal.

Is there a cover that goes over that motor? If so how does it get removed. I have a 2012 and it does the same thing.

I don't think there is a cover on the fusions, take a look but I don't recall one.

I just pulled mine out a few minutes ago. There is a little white plastic plug that's removable. Also if you're feeling brave like me, you can pull the three screws and remove the whole plastic housing cover. I dabbed some oil down into the front bearing through the motor housing and on top of the back one and it cleared the sound right up. Try not to get any oil on the electrical contacts though. I imagine that could be a fire hazard.

I have a Ford Fusion 07, and it will not blow any heat at ilde or low RPM's like sitting at a stop light. Fan works great just blows cold air at idle as soon as the RPM's get up to 1500 blows hot air. Any Idea's?

krytrons bob You have an air pocket. Has there been any recent cooling system work performed. Is the coolant level full and clean?

I bought the car used about a year ago and I haven't done any cooling system work, I am not sure what the previous owners did. The level looked OK, it didn't look overly dirty.

krytrons bob Well with that kind of concern your water pump fins are worn or heater core is plugged both are unlikely. The most likely is they changed the thermostat and introduced a air pocket that has worked it way into the heater core. Try this to see if it fixes it- Fill the degas bottle to 25 mm (0.984 in) above the COLD FILL line. Install the degas bottle cap until at least 1 audible click is heard. Turn the climate control system off. Start the engine and increase the engine speed to 3,500 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Turn the engine off for and wait for 1 minute to purge any large air pockets from the cooling system. WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury. Check the engine coolant level in degas bottle and if necessary fill to 25 mm (0.984 in) above the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL on the degas bottle if the engine is warm or to the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL if the engine is cold. Start the engine and let it idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat is fully open. A fully open thermostat is verified by the cooling fan cycling on at least once. Increase the engine speed to 3,500 rpm and hold for 30 seconds. Allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds. Turn the engine off for 1 minute. Repeat steps 9 through 11 a total of 5 times to remove any remaining air trapped in the system. WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

Has anyone tried opening up the OEM blower motor and hitting it with WD-40 instead of doing a full replacement to stop the chirping noise? Does this work?

I have the same issue. As well as a bunch of other issues. Ford is shit. Such a big difference between Toyota, Honda and Ford. Both accord 2007 and camry 2008 have much better built quality and feel than the 2012 fusion. I will never buy a Ford again. New fusions look nice, but I just don't trust their quality.
