Hey guys I dont have anymore blower control in my car anymore its basically on or off the lower speeds dont work any clue what it could be is there a resistor on it like in the older versions that controls how much power goesw to the motor it seems to blow strong when it does but i dont have a meter with me tonight to check the voltage.

any help would be awsome

Yep more than likely it's your blower resistor. It's located on the passenger side underneath the dash. There is a electrical connector plugged into it, and it's held to the ducting by 2 screws. Should be able to pull it out and see the resistor is blown out.

If the resistor is ok , you may want to check the belt and the tensioner

good luck and let us know

thanks for the blower resistor help and ticking valves

Hi guys, I am new to the site. I was Googling help for my blower fan in my 2002 Mustang GT. Your site came up immediately, I pulled the resistor, which was all but rusted to dust, replaced it and the problem was solved. By the way, Advance Auto wanted $44.00 for the part and the Dealer only wanted $20.00! I think that's a first for me!

In addition, I have had some tapping of the valves/lifters for about 600 miles now. Nothing shows up in the oil, and it only happens right at 2000 RPMs with no resistence. I guess I'll need to pull the covers and find the source. THanks again fo the help though!

Any advice on fixing the wife? LOL

I switched it how and now the blower works on all the power settings. The old one must have shorted out, and for 22 smackers it was pretty cheap. thanks for all the help guys
