A/C Blower Stops Working Or Slows Down - I replaced Motorcraft YH-1829 A/C Blower Motor Switch resister under dash and problem with blower turning off or not blowing at full speed stopped. The part is under the passenger side dash and takes about 10 minutes to replace
have yet to find a fix for this issue. It seems to be some sort of short or loose connection because driving over a bump (speed bump, pot hole, etc) will turn the fan on or off, but the cabin controls are useless. This is terrible here in Orlando when it gets 90+ on Daily basis. it appears others are experiencing this issue; WHY HASN'T FORD MADE A RECALL??????
HVAC blower / fan started acting up in July. It started out by not running at all. Then it would run / function, but then cut out, then run, then cut out, and would repeat this for hours at a time. Then it would run / function for a few weeks, then do the run / stop running / run / stop running thing for days in a row, then work normally again for a few weeks at a time. Most recently, its stopped working completely. All the time that this is happening, the heat and a/c works - both can be felt blowing passively through the vents at highway speeds - but when its not working properly, the fan won't kick in.
I've searched repeatedly for information and possible fixes, conversed on a couple of Ford / F150 forums, and have tried a number of suggestions - disconnect the battery for 30 minutes to reset the system; install a new fuse; install a new blower motor resistor; and finally install a new blower motor. Nothing has fixed the issue. Seems that many Fords have the same issue - regardless of mileage or age of vehicle.
I continue to try to fix this one on my own, but if I don't have it sorted soon, it will need to go in to the shop before winter hits.

Out of nowhere, the key fob stopped working and the ac/defrost blower stopped working.
