All,
I have a blower motor question for the collective.
I have a 1998 Mercury Sable Wagon (I figure all the Ford blower systems are about the same in all their vehicles)
Up until this morning, the blower for the HVAC has been working fine on all settings and speeds. The fan would blow on low, medium low, medium high and high, and on all Heat, Vent and AC Functions. This morning, there was a heavy layer of frost on the car, so I started the car, and came back in the house. Ten minutes later, I went back out and the windows were still iced over. I checked the controls, and the fan was set to high, the selector was on defrost and the heat range was to full hot, but there was no air coming from the vents, and there was no blower noise. I changed the function and speed and the blower never ran.
After arriving home from work tonight, I changed the blower fuse in the cabin fuse panel, and check the one in the under hood distribution box and both fuses were good. I ran out of daylight and stopped for the night.
I am trying to get an idea, I and going to pick up a new 10 amp, mini for the cabin, and a 40 maxi for the under hood box to make sure they are good.
What would make it quit with no warning, there have been no noises, it has been blowing strong. Just got back from a 1200 mile trip and it was working fine. Could it be the resistor, or what...... needing some guidance, because as of right now, with the weather the car is not drivable, and the truck needs a water pump, so it is limited on driving it.
Thanks,
Scott
