Then when I was working on my truck this morning this happened.
I have a 07 CC Lariat and this morning I started my truck and the defrost blower was on high and the climate control was off.
I tried all the controls and it just will not turn off and the blower will only go down to about medium.
I can get it to change between modes but when I hit the off button it goes to high in the defrost ducts and there is nothing on the screen.
I have now pulling the blower motor fuse to stop it.

Im not sure if it does it all the time, or just when hvac controls are on, but a vacuum leak for the electronic 4x4 will cause hvac to just defrost. Doesnt sound right for it to defrost all the time though

I can change the settings, floor, vents, etc but just can't turn it off.
A guy on the 6.0 forum said he had the same thing and it was the blower resistor and he gave me the part #.
So I think I will give it a try.
I will just need to order one tomorrow.

I'm no expert, but I would test it with an ohmmeter before putting the new one. Talk is cheap, but parts aren't.

I just need to dig out the full set of manuals I have to find it.
But if it is hard to get to and the part is only a few bucks I just might order one and change it.

Good morning everyone.
By the way Josiah, my offer of trading my Town Car for your Fusion is still on the table. Don't have much of a use for it anymore.

Jerking it like that with a chain isn't the best idea but the idea of "You NEED to use a strap to free a stuck vehicle" is ridiculous.

I'm talking about the shock load to the equipment. Had a proper recovery strap been used for a pull like that there wouldn't have been any frame damage to either truck. I've pulled lots of folks out with a chain, but I've NEVER jerked it like that. I also have respect for my equipment and that of the guy I'm pulling out.
