Locating The Heater Blower Transistor

Featured Replies

Hey everyone :)

Newbie here!

Just looking for an answer to this question, where do I locate my Heater Blower Transistor on my Ford Fiesta LX 2003?

I've looked behind the glove box (as many people in other forums have suggested) and I've taken the passenger side panel off. Can't see it.

Here's some pictures....

Many thanks



The resistor pack?

Try drivers side footwell, go in towards the centre from the top of the clutch pedal.

A torch and a mirror might make it easier to find. Last one I changed saw me upside down in the drivers seat trying to get at it :D

Do they both do the same thing?

And I'll check that out tomorrow, thank you!

That's the badger!!

Does your blower only work on 4?

I can't see it on that pic

It's been a while since I did one, but from what I remember, the the thing is held in by 2 screws onto a bracket on the bulkhead

The plug is on the right (as you sit looking out the windscreen), with the body of the resistor pointing towards the passenger side

thats the one, on the right of photo with the 4 thick wires in the white/greyish connector, thats connector c323

Looks like it may be this, because there's the unit for Box Flap Actuator Regulator Motor, according to the part number on the box.

thats it, should be 2 black /blue, 1 black white, and 1black yellow wires.

1 torx screw holding it in place

It is indeed that one - and I was wrong - it was in the first pic...just :D

All sorted :)

But the part gets really warm, had it on for about 30 seconds, is this normal?

How did you check it was warm? The idea is when its fitted in position, the blower motor cools the resistor with air flow.

Because, I took out the white adaptor, put in the resistor, can't put it back into the black housing, can't even unscrew the housing ....

All done! After about 30 minutes in total, managed to get the screws out! No overheating I'm sure! Thank you everyone for the advice and such :) Much appreciated
