Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1993 FORD TAURUS THAT LEAKED WATER FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. THEN MY AC SWITCH WENT OUT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE BLOWER MOTOR AND SHORTED OUT. HE ALSO HAD A 1992 TAURUS THAT HE JUST REPAIED WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WILL NEED A NEW BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR. ALSO SOME KIND OF COWL IS NEEDED TO PREVENT THIS AGAIN. *JB
