I have been looking through the problem questions and answers; found some similar but would rather ask directly.
1) My a/c blower is not blowing. I have cold air seeping out of the vents but it is not blowing. It does not work at any setting(from lowest to the highest, none work). It started by just randomly not working, but now it does not work at all. The rear blower does work. What steps should I take to correct this problem?
2) My power locks have suddenly stopped working. My keychain remote does not lock or unlock my doors and neither do any of the three switches. What the heck happened??
3) Ever since buying the explorer my windsheild wiper fluid has never worked. I replaced the little motor that attaches to the fluid resevoir, and nothing. What could be the problem?

Out of these 3 questions, the first 2 are the most important... Please help guys!!!!

I) More info needed. Does blower work for heat only, or not at all. Manual or automatic climate control? First thing with electrical stuff - check the fuses.
2) Sounds like nothing works on locks, so first think is - check the fuses. If they are OK, next thing to check is the module behind the left rear quarter panel.
3) Does the motor run? If not, check the fuse that powers the motor, then see if you have power at the connector to the motor. If the motor runs, check the little tubes between the motor and the sprayers in the hood. Make sure the sprayers aren't clogged.
 






1)The blower does not work for any function, neither heat nor a/c, it is manual climate control. This is my dilemma, I bought this vehicle used with no owner's manual, I don't know what fuses go to what...
2)Don't know which fuses to check
3)The motor does not run at all. I'm not very good at electrical stuff. I do have a multimeter but forgot how to check for continuity in wiring
 






2 out of 3 were fuses. I found an owners manual online and found my bad fuses. Now if I could just solve my blower problem I will be good to go...
 






you probably need a blower motor resistor.
 






Resistor

Where is the resistor for the blower motor?
