How to fix air not blowing on a 2011 Ford Fiesta (blower resistor issue)

[@jayanmithun1]

Hey man. You have no idea how much useful your video was for me. It saves me a bill of $450. Yes, they were about to rip me off and I luckily watched you video. Thank a bunch man.

Glad it helped u my friend. Thanks for watching

Thanks sharing. I have exactly the same problem and can now fix it myself thanks to your great video (liked and subscribed)👍

Thank you for your videos. I've got a bit of a different scenario. My wife's 2015 Ford Fiesta air wasn't blowing at all. I first replaced the fuse, but it still didn't work. Next I replaced the relay, and it worked on all 4 settings. I took it for a short drive and the air was working fine. I parked the car in our garage and then restarted it to double check if it was OK, but and once again the air wasn't blowing at all. Do you think I should I replace the resister? Or maybe the blower is bad? If it's in the wiring I will take it to a professional mechanic! Thanks again.

sometimes aftermarket parts can be defective. I think is better get the oem one

[@Nocturna71]

You didn’t show how you took off the old blower resistor. Do we pull it out?

[@JVFIXLLC]

there is only 2 screws you need to remove super easy

This helped me out. Thanks!

So if it's not blowing any air, on Any setting at all, what most likely needs to be replaced? Thanks alot btw

[@JVFIXLLC]

what mostly fails us the resistor I would change this first because us the less expensive part. and very simple to change on this car

[@joelxgd]

Hey man I have the same problem, did you solve your problem by changing this resistor?

[@userx1981]

​@@joelxgdsame, no air whatsoever. Was told to replace the blend door actuator and that would do it but numerous online sources say that has nothing to do with air blowing just vent control modes... If air isn't blowing at all does it come down to a failed Blower motor? That's a pain to replace behind brake pedal assembly

[@nextdoordarts3770]

Would this fix work for a vent that won’t turn on at all? When starting my car it clicks behind the glove box and the dial doesn’t work at all..thanks for any info

[@JVFIXLLC]

What type of car do u have?

@@nextdoordarts3770 I don't think it will fix the vent that's different from the blower

[@nextdoordarts3770]

@@JVFIXLLC when I turn it from hot to cold I can hear something changing inside the dash, and the defrost SLOWLY SLOWLY works in a little spot at first and then widens out but only after a long time

[@Textile_Courtesan]

@nextdoordarts3770 that sounds like your heater door recirculation actuator has stripped its gears. It's a cheap part, under $30usd and is accessed through the glove box. It takes 30 minutes to swap out. Good luck!

[@psych0ticdiva]

I lhave this problem that when I place it on 1 and 2 and it doesn’t turn on, unless, I place it on 3 or 4. Another thing I noticed that it’s also blowing hot air instead of cold air when I turn on the AC.

[@JVFIXLLC]

You could have a temp blend door issue too very common to fail.

[@psych0ticdiva]

I just changed that part on my own just now. It solved one problem. Now it turns on for sure on the lowest setting. My next problem to resolve is getting it to throw cold air.

[@psych0ticdiva]

Thanks for making this video!! Girls like me can use it to learn a thing or two.

[@JuggernautUser]

I have the same exact issue! It blows only hot air on 3 or 4. But 1 and 2 it doesnt work whatsoever. I have 2 problems. Just curious, were you able to fix the Hot air problem? If so, what did you do?

[@JVFIXLLC]

@JuggernautUser if you're having issues with the temperature best guess is that one of your actuators is going bad

[@javier2565]

I did but the problem continue help please

[@JVFIXLLC]

check the fuse# 4 it is a 40amp green fuse on the front left side of the engine. thats the fuse for the blower motor

[@kellyquiton7473]

Already replaced the resistor, still not working help

[@JVFIXLLC]

then you will need multimeter to see what is missing in your connector power or ground and also could be a blown fuse it needs testing to find out. and also it could be the resistor even if it's new

[@Aquahutch702]

I've got a 2018 Ford Fiesta with only 8000 miles on it. My blower is turning on or off randomly by itself while driving. Is it possible that replacing this resistor will solve my issue as well?

[@JVFIXLLC]

that could be a sign that It can be going bad. the resistor is not to expensive is like only 20 bucks so I would definitively would change that first

[@tynandill926]

Mine isn't even blowing on 4... Is that the resistor or blower motor ?

[@JVFIXLLC]

yea the blower resistor controls the speeds. u should change it it's not to hard and the part is cheap

[@tynandill926]

@@JVFIXLLC so change the resistor or the blower motor ?

[@JVFIXLLC]

[@TGagat55]

So if fan setting 4 works, but 1, 2 & 3 do not... Same fix?

[@JVFIXLLC]

yea it's the first symptom that happens on these cars. is really cheap to fix the part is like 15bucks

[@userx1981]

Just to confirm, What exactly needs to be looked at if the car isnt blowing Air at All on Any setting? I replaced the little green $5 fuse in fuse box for blower motor, and the Relay next to it shows good voltage. So is one of these resistors what could fix not blowing Air on Any setting? Your video showed it blowing on setting 4 only. Thank you

[@JVFIXLLC]

yea the resistor can be damaged and it fails in different settings too like low high middle it doesn't matter but most of the time is a burnt resistor

[@userx1981]

@@JVFIXLLC OK we'll try it out, hopefully it's a resistor and not the pain in the ass job of replacing blower motor behind brake pedal assembly, what a nightmare. Thanks alot

[@JVFIXLLC]

@@userx1981 yea start first with the resistor and get it original not autozone

[@userx1981]

@@JVFIXLLC Oh was just browsing Amazon and had one in cart with 2000+ good reviews but Yeah usually I buy OEM

[@Cosme3389]

Mine just blow for the face, I switch to feet or windshield but still blowing for the face... You know what it can be?´

[@JVFIXLLC]

U need to check your blend door motor for the mode door to see if it moves and also check the linkage to it. Sometimes plastic could break over time.

[@Cosme3389]

Thanks, I'll see if that's the problem. Sometimes when I turn off the car I hear the sound of climate sistem moving inside, it's so weird...

[@scottasbury1894]

Mom blows on one two three and four but on four it does not blow real hard you can barely feel it coming out the vent maybe half the air can you tell me why

[@outlawollie6270]

Mine works on none of the 1 2 3 4

[@JVFIXLLC]

probably your fuse is out. or your fan motor not good too

[@timobatana6705]

I did this and it still doesn't work......

[@JVFIXLLC]

have u check the fuse?

[@timobatana6705]

@@JVFIXLLC no but that's a good idea, I'm going to check the fuse and the relay cuz that's probably what it is

[@JVFIXLLC]

@timobatana6705 yea cause if the resistor was bad it probably burned the fuse

[@timobatana6705]

@@JVFIXLLC ahhh good to know. Thank you. That helps because I was thinking about taking the resistor back but I'll keep the new one
