hey guys. my gf has an 88 t-bird 5.0 the other day she flipped her heat on and the fan didn't turn on. then after a few trys it started working again. today it won't work at all. any ideas? i got a feeling its something stupid. where is the blower motor located? on the firewall somewhere? could it be something loose somewhere?
Blower motor is probably behind the glovebox area. That's where the ones I've messed with are. It could be the switch itself on the dash.
if its the swtich the whole thing wouldnt work, pop out the heat switch pannel, get a multimeter and touch it to the leads see if you get anything should be about 12V i assume.
a test light would work but a multimeter would be a lot better at knowing if thats the actual problem. anyways just try the test light, I doubt its the switch. A multimeter is a super usefull tool, you can find them for like $40.
UPDATE: it WAS the switch. i pulled it off and it was burnt bought a new one from NAPA. good as new now. anyone know what would cause the switch/harness to melt ?
iv seen lots of ford switchs melt in the past....it normaly will hapen if you use it on high alot...its like they didnt use the righjt size wire and it just getts hot
