My 2010 fx4 climate control blower motor stopped working. The dealer diagnosed it as the blower relay. There are, of course, none in stock.

Due to our temperatures, they rigged up a bypass with a 30A fuse so that I can have heat this week. The only downside to that is that the fan has to be on full blast when the climate system is turned on.

Total price: $185. The part itself is $63.

Isn't this just a large fuse? What am I missing here?

 

$185??? Shouldn't that be covered on the factory warranty?

 

yeah...why did you pay for it ???

 

You got....well got. I wouldn't have paid a penny.

 

Maybe he was out of warranty, and if he was, then there was a diagnostics charge, very tyipical and usually a flat fee/rate of $75-$100

 

Yes. I'm out of warranty.

 

I think you need more "Cow Bell"

 

Are you sure it isn't the resistor, that would be what controls the fan speeds and they do go, usually partially and you lose a couple speeds. By passing a bad resistor could leave you with only the high speed of the fan.

Last one I did in my '01 truck was a $12 part and a 10 minute job.
