99 Expy blower motor resistor - 5/2/2008 6:25:01 AM

My 99 Expedition's front fan only works on high. From the research I've done, it looks like I'll need to replace to blower motor resistor. Unfortunately, I haven't the slightest idea what it looks like or where I can find it on my vehicle. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Manaul temp controls, or EATC (electronic automatic temp control) ? The manual climate control will have a blower motor resistor, and the EATC will have a fan speed controller... Mounted in close to the same area (depending on which system you have) only the resistor optioned would be installed into the heat A/C plenium chamber, and the EATC fan controller would be mounted external to the chamber..

Hayapower, thanks. It's a manual system. I've already replaced the controller (the temp controller was very hard to turn, so it had to be replaced anyway)

I think I found the blower motor - mounted way up underneath the glove box. Could you describe where the resistor is mounted?

The EATC optioned units have a fan/blower 'speed controller' (a module) not the same as your temp control/fan selection assembly.. The blower resistor will be mounted right next to the blower motor.. When you remove it, look at the coils/windings and you'll see a small 'diode' looking bullet shaped unit bridging the terminals.. Thats the thermal limiter and most times they burn out internal.. Use a test lead (or wire) and clip it to both the in/out of the thermal unit.. You should have all your fan speeds back.. Do replace the unit though if it proves to be bad..

Hayapower, thanks again. Glad you included the picture because I was not sure what I was looking for. I was able to find it - with a mirror - and it needed to be replaced. Got a new one from my local Ford dealer and the job took all of 15 minutes.
