Where is the resistor that controls the low speeds on the heater fan on a '99 Ford Contour?

On the Passenger side under the dash. It is attached to the ductwork for the air. You may have to pull the carpet back some. It looks like a flat rectangle that has ridges on it and is made out of clay or ceramic. replacing it is cheap and easy. I did have to get the part online for myself. I went for over a year at one setting I couldn't get over the fact it was just because of that stupid piece.

Do you have a bad switch if heater goes on and off all the time and fan only works on hi?
You most likely have a problem with your blower RESISTOR PACK or rheostat. This is what controls the high, med and low speeds on your heater. Where it is and how to change it depends on your vehicle.

the blower resistor controls the fan speeds
Heater only working on number 4?
It sounds like the blower resistor assembly is defective. All fan speeds except for high go through resistors (that is what controls the speeds from low to high). Number 4 is high and has the full 12 volts going to the fan.

toyotas have a resistor bank in line with heater motor each speed has a different value resistor. there is no resistor on high speed. it is located on passenger side in heater duct I thank it has two screws holding it on when you get it out you will see the resistors burned
What is a resistor block for on a Dodge Caravan?
The resistor block or blower motor resistor is used to control the speed of the blower motor. That is how you get the lower speeds on your air conditioning or heater. The higher the resistance the lower the speed of the motor.

Why wont the heater in my 1999 alero work at all?
A common problem is that the heater resistor/ circuit board is defective and need to be replaced. The main symptom is that the heater fan with not run on the three low speeds but will run on high.
What causes the heater blower motor in a 2003 Trailblazer to not work in speeds 1-3 but works in speeds 4 and 5?
Probably the blower motor speed resistor is partially burned out.

Check the blower motor resistor as it controls the fan speeds. Also check the blower motor as it will burn out resistors if its drawing to much amperage

Blower wont work on all 5 speeds, usually the lower speeds tend to go first.
How do you replace a heater switch in a Trailblazer?
This is not a common failure. The more likely culprit is the blower moter resistor that controls the fan speeds. Very simple to fix yourself and about $35 for the part. To get more info about this or other Trailblazer '02 and up questions join our forum at www.trailvoy.com
Why does your heater fan only run on high speed?
99% of the time it is the heater resistor block, it is a bunch of resistors which gives you the different speeds. this is mounted close to the heater motor, pass side of the car. Usual cause of failure: water or snow inside the heater housing.
2002 Gran Prix heater has 5 speeds the lowest 2 are not working could this be a blown fuse?
Sounds more like switch or resistor is defective
Why does the lower three heater speeds on a 1999 Malibu not work?
The blower motor resistor is defective. They go bad when the blower motor pulls to much amperage.
What does the blower motor resister do in a 2002 Dodge Durango?
Short of it is the resistor controls the fan speeds for the blower. Easy to replace and to my knowledge only available through a dealer.
