I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited. Auto digital dual climate control.
I got it at a good price with a few small issues, none mechanical thankfully.
Rear air does not work at all, I cant get the the blower to come on at all. Easy fix right must be a bad blower? HA I replaced it, I then thought maybe the blower motor resistor was bad so I tried jumping the resistor to just get the fan to come on. Still nothing....so I then checked the relay with a DMM and it tested good. I checked ALL the fuses in the interior fuse panel and all the mini fuses under the hood. Still not knowing what is what because I dont have a manual.
This leaves me with a few things im unsure of.
Does any of the maxi fuses under the hood control any of the rear air system? Can I pull them and test continuity? Is this the proper way to test them?
The control unit (overhead console rear air control), how can I test it, should it have power at the plug and if so what wires?
I need some input, I have searched and searched and searched. I hate to throw parts at it. I can find any power in the rear. I may not be checking the right places. I have a bad actuator, I can hear it clicking which means I have power somewhere back there.
Will a blower motor resistor cause my issues? I thought by grounding the orange and red wire the blower motor should have kicked on but nothing!!!
AHHHH!!!! Help!! Im in florida and summer is coming!!
