Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Hi, everyone. Sue here, at 1A Auto, and today, we're going to show you how to change your blow motor in a 2011 Ford F-150. It's located here, on the passenger side, right underneath the glove box. So, if you need this, or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.
7mm socket, and there are three trim bolts or screws down here. I'm going to take all three out. I like to do this and leave the glove box latched, so that way I don't have to hold onto everything—balance it. Now I can hold onto this. Undo the latch, and just slide the glove box out at an angle. Now there're two plastic clips, here, that hold this felt liner up. I'm going to take those out with a body clip; see if I can get the other one—a bit stubborn. Always find surprises under people’s glove boxes. I'll just move this out of the way so we can work better.
To remove the blow motor, there're three mounting screws. They're in a triangle form, and they're an 8mm socket. First thing I like to do is disconnect the electrical connector. That's that tab right there. Squeeze it with your thumb; pull down on it. There we go. Now that's out of the way, try to make it a little easier for you. Then an 8mm socket. The back one, here, is the trickiest one, I think. So, after several decisions—long socket, short socket, swivel socket—the gear ratchet works the best. I didn't think it would work—I didn't think it would go up in there, but it fit. So, now that bolt's out, we have one left, right there. I'm just going to go right with the gear ratchet. It's a funny one—doing blow motors. Sometimes you get little surprises when you take this blow motor out. You know—sometimes just acorns or leaves, a family of mice. Okay, you just have to wiggle it and manipulate it down to come out. There we go, and there it is.
Here we have the new blow motor from 1A Auto. It comes with a cage; comes with a lock clip on it, and it's balanced. That's a cool thing to see. Sometimes you get these parts aftermarket and they're not balanced. That's a sign of quality. And here is the factory one. Still has the Ford part numbers on there. That came balanced—they call this the squirrel cage. That's a press on; there's no clip; the same two pronged connector. So, if you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link in the description and head on over to 1aauto.com.
Now we're going to install the new blow motor. I'm just going to basically try to reverse the procedure. Make sure you turn it, so that the lining bolts line up. There we go. I'm going to install the closest lining screw first. Wonderful. Now I can get the other two started. This is definitely a patience game at this one. Okay, I want to put that last lining screw in on this side. See if I can balance this out. Once you get them all started, just take your time and tighten them up.
Now that the blow motor is fully mounted up there, I'm going to reconnect my connector. Check again for any melted harnesses. Looks good. Line it up and it clicks in place, and you're all set. When you put the felt panel back up, you'll see this guided slot, and there's a stud that sticks out from the back. That's for that—to right in there, like that, and now we have the body clips. Push those up into the mounting spots. Grab our glove box. To install it, I just go at an angle; put those ears in there. That's the door that stops, and I line up the latch; snap that. Now I've got my three mounting screws and I'll put those in on the bottom. This is the 7mm socket. Get the center one, and the right side, then the left. If you have any problems with the felt, that's a metal tab. You can always bend that back for a better visual effect. There we go.

Okay, friends. To get started on our blower motor resistor, let's go ahead and open up our glove box, squeezing on the sides that way there these tabs release. Looking behind here, you're going to be able to see your blower motor resistor. You can either try to access this right through up here or, of course, you can try to come underneath the dash which is pretty easy as well. I'm just going to them squeeze on the little tab. I'll draw this off of here and now I'll show you what tab I'm talking about. Right here where my index finger is the tab, you squeeze that and pull it away and it releases. At this point, we have a nice clear view of our resistor. You have a mounting bolt right here on the lower aspect of it closest to us. And then on the upper aspect, right over here farthest away. Remove both of those 8-millimeter headed bolts. There we are we are. Grab that resistor, take it right out of there. There it is, friends.
All right, friends, now it's going to be time to install our brand new blower motor resistor. Looking at the front, you can tell that there's an area that has a slash out on one of the corners. As we install this resistor, we want to go on in just like this so the slash on the top facing towards us. So carefully slide this right in. It should want to line up with the pitons that are there. We'll start in both of the bolts and then we'll snug them up. Okay. That's bottomed out. You don't want to go too much further than when it's bottomed out only because the screw is actually going directly in the plastic. If you go too tight, you could strip it. Bottomed out a teeny bit more. Now, let's go ahead and connect this in. There we are. At this point, go ahead and close this up by squeezing the two pieces together. All right. Now, all you have to do is test your blower motor on all speeds.

All right, so coming in on your passenger's side, right underneath the glove box, you're gonna be able to see your blower motor resistor. It should be fairly easy to get to. We're gonna remove the wiring harness from it and then, of course, of the two mounting bolts. Let's get started.
Now, if you take your finger and you press right on this little center point, you'll be able to squeeze that and then draw this away. I always take a peek at my wiring harness. Make sure there's no funny colors. If you see something, you know you have to repair that. This looks good, so I'll set it aside. Now I can see my mounting bolt here and one right there, remove them both. There's one. It's out. There's our second. And then of course the blower motor resistor.
Now it's gonna be time to install our brand new blower motor resistor. If you were look at it, you can see that it has one corner that's, kind of, angled off. That needs to be on the top and towards the rear. I'm just gonna put it just like this, I'll slide it directly into the box, and then, of course, we'll put in our two mounting bolts. Okay. There it is. Just like that. Let's get this one in a few good threads. You want it to be as straight as possible. You're gonna be screwing into plastic, so it could be very simple to accidentally cross-thread in your bolt or even strip out the plastic box. Okay, so I get that one bottomed out. Do the same thing to the other one. You don't wanna overtighten these. Like I said, they're only screwed into plastic. Okay, that's bottomed out, just a tiny weeny bit more. That's it. Let's get our pigtail reattached. Push it in. Listen for a click. Give it a tug. That feels great. Now we're gonna test our blower motor.
All right, I can hear the blower motor on level one, two, three, oh yeah, and it works on high. This is perfect.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the blower motor resistor on this 2005 Ford F150. It's the same part and similar process on these F150s from 2004 to 2010. The items you'll need for this is new blower motor resistor from 1AAuto.com and an 8 millimeter socket and ratchet.
Open up your glove box and just push in on the passenger's side and pull it down. Now, push the tab on the bottom of this harness and then just pull it free. Then remove these two 8 millimeter bolts. We'll fast forward as Mike does that. You can use an air ratchet for this, just to speed up the process. Once you remove the bolts, it pulls right out. Then, you just want to pull off this gasket as well.
On the left is the old blower motor resistor. On the right is the new one from 1AAuto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Make sure the gasket's in place, and then feed your blower motor resistor back into place. Then, replace those two 8 millimeter bolts by hand. One corner is notched and there's a tab in it, so you can only put it in one way. Tighten up the bolts, careful not to over-tighten them. You don't want to strip out the plastic. Reconnect your harness and then push in the side of your glove box and close it.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Hi I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. In this video I'm going to show you how to replace this blower motor resistor on this 2012 Ford escape. If you need this part or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.
So when I turn the key on and I have the HVAC on, and I'm going through the blower motor settings--one, two, three, nothing happens. Once I get to setting number four, it comes on full blast. So at this point, I'm going to replace the blower motor resistor. If you have this same problem, you may need a blower motor resistor.
All right, I'm going to open the glove box. Pull that open. Then, on the sides, I'm just going to use my hands and push. Try to get this glove box to flip down, just like that. Now the blower motor resistor is located right here in the top of this HVAC box. What I'm going to do is the connector's a little tricky to disconnect. I am going to use a pick and try to push it on this lock while I lift up on the connector. I'll show you that right there. That's where the lock is. They don't give you much room to get your finger in there, and that will release the tab on that. So disconnect that.
With that out of your way, I'm going to take a eight millimeter socket and extension and a ratchet, and there's two bolts that go down from the top. It's a little bit tricky to get your hands in here. Take these bolts out or screws. There's a couple of screws. Once that's loose, take that screw out, and I'll take the other one out. Now you need the extension more for this other one. Not so much that first one. You might be able to do it without an extension, but take this out. And once it's loose, you can do it by hand, take that screw out, and I can grab the resistor and just slide it up just like that.
Here's the old resistor. Here's the new blower motor resistor from 1aauto.com. As you can see it's got the same shape. You look at the end and the connector is the same; the other side is the same. Get yours at 1aauto.com and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
Now I'll take the new resistor. Get it in position and slide it down just like that. Kind of hard. Really can't see what you're doing. There are a couple of tabs that line up with the holes on the resistor. Look at the old resistor. This is where the screws go. So with it like that, there's a screw there and a screw there. And then there's two little pins that line the resistor up. So get both screws started just by hand. And I'll take my eight millimeter socket and ratchet, I'll tighten these down. It is in plastic, so you just want to snug it, not too tight. Okay with those tight, then I can reconnect the connector. Line that up and lock it in place. Again, take the glove box, push this in a little bit, and close that.
Right now we're going to test it. Turn the key on, and I can hear the blower motor working on setting one, number two, on three and also four. So we fixed the problem.
