How can I tell if my front ac blower is out or the resistor is out? Back works fine.

The fan was coming on sometimes and stopping. Now it will not come on at all.

I am getting prices on replacement and its like $500 for something I can do in my yard in ten min.

I just dont know how to tell which part to buy.

I have attached a picture of the plug that plugs into my blower motor. It has black marks on it. What does that mean?

Side note. Sometimes when AC does run I get a smell that smells like a new float. You know the smell. Like you are going to the lake and oh shit you forgot your float you stop buy a new one and it has that smell.

If it runs fine on top speed, but intermittently or not at all on lower speeds, the resister or wiring to it is defective.

If it doesn't run at all on top speed, it's either the wiring or the blower motor.

Check that plug and the wires going to it. They are known to deteriorate and require replacing.

Do you have the automatic climate control?

The black marks may be from the plastic when the connections overheating.

Those don't have the old style blower motor resistors. Yours uses an electronic module (blower motor control module) that fails over time. You may need to repair or replace the plug also.

What if a 2008 ford expedition AC switches on in the rear, but no air from the front ones. any reason for that? also there are times when i am driving and then the front ac unit cycles on, once on it will not stop unless i turn engine off, then may or may not start again. lately it usually cycles on when i drive over 60-65 mph. the back ac unit turns on all the time.

Someone told me it might be the ac switch?
