It is at the bottom right hand side of the heater box. It is just below the glove compartment and to the left of the right kick panel. There is an electric motor that is exposed and has to come out the get the assembly out of the heater box. Not a difficult job. Easy to do. Piece of cake.
find the power wire at the fan if theres power to it then the fan is bad
You will only have high speed fan
Check the 30 amp Blower fuse. If not that check the fan relay, if not that check the blower motor directly from a jump on the fan itself.
The heater blower on a 97 Ford Escort station wagon is a small electric motor about 5 inches in diameter and it has a squirrel cage fan on the end of the motor shaft.
I have 1993 ford escort 1.9 , heater fan not working, new fan motor is good, checked fuses, they seem ok, is there a relay and where is it, Thanks for any help you can offer
it could be the blower switch
Blown fuse, defective blower motor resistor pack, blower motor, or blower motor switch. This happened to me and I found a connector at the fan motor had fried. I changed the connector and it worked great.
in the thermostat housing on the left side of the engine
From the www.2carpros.com website: http://www.2carpros.com/forum/1998-ford-ranger-blower-motor-vt87146.html "(The blower fan resister is) located in the engine compartment inboard of the blower motor and slightly below it."
It's on the passenger side under the dash and right next to the kick panel on the inside of the vehicle.
under air cleaner assembly
Check the wire going to the Fan blower, under the passenger dash around the area your feet would be at. I have found the connector melted.
