I have a problem with my air conditioner/ heater, this problem started around about Sept. 2005. First there was a squeeling noise coming from the vents, but everything was working fine. Then after some time, the vents stopped blowing air except for when it was in the highest blowing strength. I took it to a mechanic and they replaced the resistance coils and everything seemed to be fine. But now more time has passed and now the vents don't blow anything out at all. Could this be the blower motor? If not, what else could it be and how much would it cost me? Thanks!

Blower motor is located down beneath the glove box, against the firewall, you should be able to hear it... it's not hard to remove, get yourself some type of repair book, Chilton or other,, motor, if bad I'm guessing around 50 bucks, only a wild stab.. you can always disconnect the blower wiring and hook 12v directly to the motor plug only, not thru any other connector and see if it fire up, to eliminate the motor as or being the problem...

Suggested Repair

Test the blower motor by disconnecting its wiring and applying 12 volts directly to the motor plug only, not through other connectors. If it does not run, replace the blower motor, located beneath the glove box against the firewall. Use a repair manual for removal; a rough parts estimate was about $50.

The owner of a 2003 Ford Taurus reported squealing from the vents, then airflow only on the highest setting, and finally no airflow after a resistor replacement. The expert said the blower motor is under the glove box and recommended a direct 12-volt test to confirm whether it needs replacement.
