Blower Motor Resister Control
My 2010 f150 Ford 5.4 liter Extended Cab Pickup Heater Fan has a mind of it's own. It is on high and will not go down or off. The icon works, looking like the fan is increasing or decreasing, but it does not. Is there a quick fix for this problem. I watched a YouTube on the problem maybe being the Blower Motor Resistor Control. If this is right, what is the procedure to fix the problem?

I just did this on my 2010. I replaced the resistor, but it ended up being a bad fan. Here is the simple way to replace it.
Open up the glove box. Push in the back side so that it folds out.
You should see a wire/connector connecting to the duct. I think it was towards the right.
Remove the connector, remove the 2 screws.
Replace resistor.
Installation is the reverse.
There are 2 part numbers. One is for auto climate control systems(YH-1829, about $50) and there is a standard(YH-1715, about $25). The prices are from Amazon.

A bad fan can NOT cause the fan to run on high speed continuously.
A 2010 with the automatic climate control does NOT have a resistor, it uses an electronic module to drive the blower based on the command from the climate control unit.
It is always possible that the blower control module isn't the problem and that the main unit is at fault. Therefore, if you jump in there and replace the module and it still doesn't work correctly, you know what's next.

Hi guys, so my 2012 FX4 has the remote start. the remote start works fine except my fans do not work at all on the remote start. They work fine any other time but not when I use the remote start. Could the blower motor resistor possibly be the issue here? Any help would be appreciated.
