Perfect this is exactly what I needed to fix my 2008 F150! Thank you for saving me a costly repair for something so simple and cheap to fix.

Perfect video, exactly what I freakn needed. Thanks man!!

[@benjaminskwirut]

Swapped mine out tonight, with the help of your video. Thanks.

[@mistertdotcom786]

Thanks for the video! My buddies 2007 only works on 4, we ordered the resistor, looks like an easy fix.

[@lillipupzilla]

Thank you for the clear instructions! I just followed this video and fixed the issue no problem on my '08. 😁

[@hi_wifi_guy]

Thanks very much for posting this video, exactly what I needed!

[@heywoodjablome9037]

Thanks for the video. Figured it is probably the resister but never would have guessed it was behind the glove box.

[@tgjones2717]

Nice video. just whats needed! good job on the fast forwarding too. Thanks!

[@Marco-fi6gv]

Yup, thanks man. Great video, mine doing same thing..went to dealer and got new resistor for $29.00. can't beat that

[@kubotaman85]

I can beat that. I went to Advance Auto and got it for $21 and 15% off then $5 off which with tax it came to $14.86

[@vlad157]

Thank you brother! your video helped me a lot!

[@burndtjam1]

i like the idea of turning the key on after you replace it to see if it is working but only doing it for a short time.

[@lendavidhart9710]

Thank you for posting and sharing, this video helped me out

[@pardiesel7474]

Thanks a ton! I have this exact problem in my 2006. Looks like a much cheaper and easier fix than I thought it might be.

[@mantirig4139]

I had to replace one of these on my 2004 Ford F150 yesterday. I went to pull out from work with my ac on and the fan stopped blowing so I knew exactly what was wrong. I went to my local Advance Auto Parts and picked up one and put it in myself I had to replace one in a 02 Explorer and made the mistake of not putting it back in the hole and it overheated so I had to buy another one and have my mechanic install it because it was such a tight area. I had no problem with the one with my truck. The only problem was getting my big hand in there with the ratchet and bit. I tested mine before I put it back together but only for a short time. I ordered mine online then picked it up. I only spent $14.86 with 15% off and $5.00 off can't beat that

[@briangibbs518]

Great thanks. my 2007 doing the same thing. Sounds like that should fix it

[@corneliusjacobo3714]

Thankyou good job

[@63Imp283]

Thanks!

[@bullet2096]

Thanks.

[@kennyramsey4773]

THNX SOOO MUCH!!!

[@gustavosebwenna6430]

i have a 2008 ford f150 that the 4x4 is not working the mechanic changed the harness and computer and both acuators for the front ?got any suggestions?

[@justindyck9705]

08 F-150 and the fan only works on speeds 3 and 4. Is there a chance it’s the resistor in this case? I saw yours only worked on speed 4 and the cause was the resistor.

[@billmckenna5391]

Thank you!!! I thought my fan speed dial was the problem that my blower speed only worked on 3 and 4. I saw your video and thanks to you I saved money and in litterly 5 minutes fixed my blower! If you know how to use a ratchet, you can fix this!!!

[@robh4955]

If I get max speed 4 but not 1 2 or 3 , would you suspect the blower or resistor?

[@mick5740]

Looks like my glove box ! About to do this in 06 where motor doesn’t blow in some low speeds

[@fernandoramirez5397]

Helpfull

[@nunuwills4933]

Would a short from this cause my truck to complete die for a few minutes and start back up!?

[@bigdipper620]

Ok so....resistor needs air cooled. Supposition is that the burning electrical smell I experienced as each speed failed was the resistor burning up? Is that correct? Anybody?

[@bigden31]

Like the crappy Harbor freight flashlight in the video. I've got like 20 of those junkers 😂

[@johnfossum62]

Cabin air filter on 2004 f150. New body style where is it. Not behind the glove box

[@highflyer447]

I replaced mines and it still only blows on 4

[@timsigmond8984]

No, thank you.

[@randallk38]

Where's the part number 🤔 😕 👀 😒 🙄 😪 🤔 😕 👀

[@dylanlinhoff511]

111

[@kuehnel16]

Ford , FIXED DAILY !

[@user-ut6ji8my2h]

I will add: MAKE SURE YOU BUY A MOTORCRAFT RESISTOR. I did not, and the chinkrap one I bought lasted 11 months. The original MC one lasted 19 years. While you are in there use a large Hole saw and put a hole in the blower box and spray the evaporator coil with foaming coil cleaner. Also run a stiff wire (Electricians snake) down the condensate drain tube. You can just cover the hole with gorilla tape. My 2004 Has no cabin filter, (Dumb ass Ford Engineers) your truck may be different. The difference in air cold air delivery will amaze you.
Do the same to your home A coil, and outdoor condenser. My HVAC system was installed in 1993 still cooling great. ALL my neighbors replaced theirs years ago. Proper Preventive Maintenance to an HVAC system cannot be overstated. I foam my HVAC A coil every single year before the cooling season, and change filter QUARTERLY. Thanks for the good video, mate!

This is not an easy job on a 2005 Ford Escape.
