Consumer Description

I HAD THE PROBLEM THAT MY BLOWER WOULD ONLY WORK ON HIGH SPEED. MY MECHANIC KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT IT WAS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. SO WENT TO FORD AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WORKED ONLY ON HIGH. I HAD IT LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH WHEN I LOST THE BLOWER COMPLETELY. WENT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN AND HE TOOK OUT THE MOTOR, AT WHICH TIME WE TURNED IT OVER AND OUT CAME ABOUT A 1/2 CUP OF WATER. WATER IS ALL OVER THE GLOVE BOX. ALSO LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE WINDSHIELD THE BUTTON RUBBER PIECE HAS EXPANDED SO WHAT FLOWS THROUGH THERE TO THE GLOVE BOX. *TR
