Climate Control system wacked out
I've got a 2000 explorer limited edition and the fan controls for the heater are acting wacko. The fan will only work on full blast or not at all. Both the fan control wheel at the dash and the fan control button on the stering wheel have the same result. All or nothing. Is there some sort of varaic/relay on the blower motor that might have gone out. I guess I might have to buy a Chiltons manual for the wiring diagram. Any got any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks,
Roger

For troubleshooting electrical problems the wiring diagrams in a Haynes or Chiltons are slightly better than useless.
What you need is the Ford "electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual"/EVTM
If you had the 2000 Explorer EVTM, it would only take you a couple of minutes to test the blower motor speed controller.
If you want to be able to fix electrical problems the easy way get the EVTM from helminc.com Or you might find it on ebay.

I wanted to bump this up to the top because my Mom has a 2000 Mountaineer that is doing the exact same thing with the blower motor. Has anyone had to fix this before, and know what the cause is??
thanks in advance

Bad Blower motor controller
Just got done fixing the exact problem on my daughter's 2000 MM. Most likely is the blower fan controller. This is similar to the blower resister, except if you have the automatic temp controls (ETAC) you have a controller.
It is located next to the blower motor on the plenum. Look just inboard on below the blower. It's kind of a pain to change out. The part cost about $80 from Ford. There is a test that can be done to troubleshoot the blower system. I'm away from home right now, when I get home tonight I'll try to find it, and post it.
Hope this helps.

Blower system test
OK, Here is the link that I used to test the system, and it led me to replace the blower motor control. I had some trouble locating it again as it's been a couple weeks since I searched for it.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info B2! My climate controll would only work on high and nothing lower.
It did this for about a week and starting working again. It has worked for the last 4 months. Go figure. I'm cutting and pasting all this in a word doc. for future use if it freaks out again.
Thanks,
Roger

thanks, you have a nice one, too. I like the old T-top cars, they are rare.
