I have a 2001 Escape XLT 4X4 105,000 miles,got it for my daughter, she loves the car. The A/c recently quit blowing on the 1,2,and 3 settings only will work on the high, i replaced the switches,I got a used one from Ebay, it does the same thing, is this the problem or should i be looking at the fan motor maybe? any help would be appriciated

Look for the resister block in the blower housing close to the blower (4wires).

Either the thermal protection has blown ($2.00 @ radio shack+solder) or the plug has corroded/melted. A replacement block is available at the stealer, $40-50.00

Did you test the old one, was it the resister coils or the thermal protection (looks like a big diode)?

What was the $$$ for the new one??

It was definitly the resitor, there was some rust and spots that were burned, cost for a new one was 30$ with shipping found it online
