I'm looking for information and possible photo location for the blower motor resistor. My truck has climate control. I've looked under the dash on the passenger side and behind the glove box door and I've been unable to spot the location. Do I have to remove the plastic panel behind the glove box?

Thanks

 

It's mounted into an air tube location so air cools it on the lower speed settings.
Look for a connector attached to a socket and panel bolted into the air tube.
Good luck.

 

I've seen photos and videos from earlier models, and the resistor with 2 bolts, is clearly visible either under the glovebox or behind it. The 2003 must be different because I cannot spot the 4-wire harness, only the 2-wire harness to the motor. I'm assuming it is behind the dashboard glovebox plastic backing.

 

The truck is equipped with EATC. Will it still have a resistor?

 

A couple nights ago, I read your initial post, you said that you have "climate control", well, we all do... so figured you meant ATC rather than manual system. I looked in my 1997 EVTM, but there was only manual in '97, no ATC.

But many ATC systems have a fan that is variable speed, not stepped speeds, so probably no resistor block.

Just now looked up the 2003 Owners Manual on Motorcraft.com, looked at E-ATC description, the ATC system can vary fan speed, or the user can vary it via a thumbwheel. So with that description, I would say that the blower speed is controlled electronically. No resistor block.

 

Torky- Thank you for your answer, I guess I should have been more clear initially. So if the blower intermittently doesn't work at all in this type of situation, then it must be the blower motor itself?

 

It was a bad blower motor. 100.00 from NAPA and about an hour on my back under the passenger side dash and good to go.
