I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XL 2.5L with 72931 miles. I was driving yesterday with the air on full, max air, when the blower just quit. Being Georgia in July, I usually run the air and have had no previous problems with the vehicle. On a hunch, I checked to see if the heat would work, but it would not. When each system is turned on, I hear the system activate, sort of like a click, which it always had, but no air is being pushed though the vents. I got the truck home and checked the fuses in the panel that control the blower and the A/C, but they are whole. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

eatc or manual system?? If manual I would pull the blower 1st and check it with 12 volts, shouldn't be too hard to get at,, use a manual, Chilton or other to guide you.. could also be resistor pack, switch I kind of doubt, it most likely would work at another speed level, i had a fan switch go out at high speed only, all other speeds worked..

Suggested Repair

Confirm whether the climate control is manual or electronic. On a manual system, remove the blower motor and test it directly with 12 volts using a service manual for access. Also check the blower resistor pack. The control switch is less likely if no speeds work, though a high-speed-only switch failure is possible.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Ford Ranger says the blower stopped while the A/C was on high. Heat also produces no airflow, although a click is heard when either system is selected. The blower and A/C fuses were intact. The expert asks whether the system is electronic or manual and recommends testing the blower motor with 12 volts first, then considering the resistor pack; the switch is less likely unless only one speed failed.
