01 explorer blower stopped working

[2001 Ford Ex]

Hi... I was driving the other day and my blower stopped working... I have electronic climate control.... I was reading and people were saying that the blower control module could be bad but high should still work... None of the speeds work... What could be the cause and fix of this problem... Thanks for any advice/solutions

Take a look at the blower motor resistor so long as all fuses and relay are good.

Well, it could be the motor in the blower is not working. You can try tapping/vibrating/hitting the motor housing to see if it comes on. The failures I have seen of the blower motor resistor just prevented fan speed control where it ran all the time on high speed. You also could remove the blower motor resistor and directly try 12 volts to the motor. You would need to know which pins to connect the 12 volts to, you probably could search the forum and find this out. If the motor did not run then, you know you need to replace the motor.

just to clarify, with the electronic HVAC controls, the "blower resistor" is replaced by the "blower module". it is located in the same place as the resistor on the manual control model and serves the same function (varying blower speed). this device often fails, but the blower motor also can fail. tapping on the motor will often getting working temporarily. as crunchie_frog said, when the blower doesn't work at all it points to the motor, but you should test it before replacing it.
