Hi 

 

pretty sure I have a faulty blower motor resister - burning smell after prolonged use, lower fan speed settings working intermittently, so bought a new one for £10 worth giving it ago - or so I thought 

below is the one I received today as a replacement and another is what I believe to be the actual exsisting blower motor resister that I’ve found this after noon after removing my glove box and now I can’t find a new one anywhere. Anyone know where I can get a new one of the brown 2 connector blower motor resisiter please

    On a slight tangent, on my previous focus mk1 I had problems with the blower resistor but this turned out to be caused by water in the blower motor making the bearings stiff.  The resistor is in the ducting so blowed motor blows air over resistor to keep it cool, on mine the stiff motor meant it did not blow so much air and the stiff motor caused more power draw which heated the resistor even more so it was like a double whammy against the resistor
