Thanks for the help! It's been raining hard for the last several days so I haven't been able to work on it. I'll try tonight.

Depending on your model year, you may be covered by a TSB on the blower motor pigtail. Ford did the "standard" pigtail replacement on mine back in 2015 free of charge. Then I had the same issue in 2017 and they replaced the entire harness free of charge. No issues since.

Great looking ride Mtrebuchn! How do I find out if I'm covered by a TSB? My ride is a 2011 Limited. I have to play with the current pigtail way to often to get my blow to work.

Have a peek at 4-wire Motorcraft part# WPT688 to ensure its the correct orientation.

Fixed one on a Fusion couple years ago, no issues since. When I bought the part the interchange guide listed most, if not all, Ford/Lincoln models for the past 10 years. Can't say for 100% Expedition was listed but it probably was.

For what its worth, TSB won't do you much good outside of the warranty period. This is a easy driveway fix that the average Joe can complete in less time it takes the schedule a dealer appointment.

You'll notice its 4 generic black wires, you simply put this side by side with your old plug and match wire #1 with #1, #2 with #2, etc.

Thank You.

Does anyone know why these burn?
Will the new one burn or is it "beefed up"?
Is there any way to avoid the burn?
What crimp tool is advised, Electricians Cutter/Crimper?
Have not had this situation <yet> in my 2003XLT :cheers:

Cutter and crimp tool, I used Klein crumpet, when the blower Resistor burn out or get hot, it melts the connector , making it a loose connection, most likely a mishap on engineering
