Blower only works on 4th setting (highest)?

[James74]

Hi there,

Used my car he other day and noticed that the windows needed cleared. I normally have it set at number 1, but only kicked in when I set it to number 4.

When I had it se to number 4, I changed the temperature gauge and this also seem to change the flow rather then the temperature.

Any ideas, thanks in advance.

Heater resister pack needs replacing. Cheap and easy 

 

It will effect flow in that when it's on hot it'll slow down ever do slightly.

Is this on the car in your profile, 2016 Fiesta? Take it to Fords under warranty if it is. If not that car then as mentioned above, around £20 from Ford if i recall for the resistor. Its only a 10 minute job to do, it was on a 2012 model anyway!

Hi,

Thanks for replies.

I have a 2012 model, updated my details now.

That's great, I'll go to a motor factors tomorrow and pick one up. How do I fit?, is there an YouTube clip or guide on this site, thanks.

 

James.

Personally I would buy from Ford at that price, cheap enough really.

Many thanks Wes and others.

seen a few posts about this in last few weeks on fiesta and or focus.  probably the thermal fuse in resistor pack blew. But why?  they often fail again if there is another reason that causes it to blow which you do not fix - eg. stiff fan motor.
