What could explain having the same problem (low speed fan on position 2 and 3, but high speed on 4), then replacing the blower motor resistor with no change? No reason to believe the new part is bad out of the box. No rust or corrosion on the old resistor. All connections are good. Thanks.

Look for the Molex plug that plugs in the back side of the blower motor resistor having some carbon on several of the spade lugs which slide onto the terminals on the blower motor resistor connector.

I cleaned mine up, but it acted up again. Found a replacement harness at O'Reilly and it's laying on the front floor board ready to go on. Of course since I plugged/unplugged the existing Molex plug and wiggled it around a bunch it hasn't failed. Go figure.

blower fire

Thanks a lot for the great thread. I had purchased a resistor, turns out it was the wrong one anyway. When I removed the existing one to make sure they ordered the correct one I noticed the burning, (mine was much worse than the pictures). The resister was corroded but still worked so I just rebuilt the connector and it works like a charm. Thanks again I would not have known which wires to pull without the pics.:beers:

PS Should Ford not be worried about lawsuits when the vehicles catch fire because of this, mine must have been very close.:mad:
My blower started on fire and has then taken out heater core and much of the electrical controls. So it happens.

Blowwer resistor replacement
 
Found this thread last Thursday. Ordered the resistor from Rock Auto on faith that it was the problem. It came Saturday. Grabbed a mirror from my daughter's room and changed the resistor. Hooray, I now have multiple speeds. Thanks everybody.

That resistor is such a common failure point that Advance Auto Parts had one in stock when I replaced mine. Easy job to replace.

I bought the part yesterday and did the swap in the parking lot of Ford (5 minutes tops) and just like that my heat works like new again. Thanks for the awesome write up and pictures!
Yep, same here. This is most likely a common problem, I assume. Thanks for everyone’s input.
