Blower resistor??
#11
It dictates it either hot or cold air comes out of the system
My wife's explorer needs hers worked on She only has cold air coming out of her vents
I know there's a video on YouTube on the explorer fix
#12
I don't have a problem between hot and cold. Only the fan speed. Can't seem to figure out why it doesn't increase when I turn the switch.
#13
Ok
Just finished. It took me a total of eight minutes to replace the resistor
That includes having to go into the house to get the right tool for the job
A 8mm ratcheting wrench
The second bolt is in a pretty tight place and that thing just does a great job in reaching it
I also did some price shopping
AutoZone 21.99 and they had in stock
VIP 21.99 also but with a three-day wait
And finally advanced auto parts 24.99 in stock

Thought this may help to make sure you are changing the correct resisiter:

Don't instantly assume that the resistor pack you replaced was good. We've had a couple of members with bad packs off the shelf.
In addition, see if you can get the switch from the pick-a-part and try replacing that. Single speed sounds more like a control problem as opposed to a motor problem.

Is it normal for the resistor to get hot when it is plugged in? When I swapped mine, I plugged it in before screwing it back into the blower motor housing. I noticed the flat, card like section instantly heated up. Is this supposed to happen?
#17
Had the same problem, changed the resistor in about 10 minutes. No change still only works on the #3 setting. Motor works fine. Now I'm not sure what next to do. Any answers out there.
