Hi guys just bought a 1999 ford focus and have found out the heater blower wont work on any of the settings,
I have checked the fuse and appears to be okay

I am a bit lost now has anyone any ideas please

thanks
 
have a look at the resister block if you look gown to the fan in the passanger footwell you will see a white block screwed onto the side of the heater you will need to replace it they are £20 from ford
 
Just been out for a look for the resistor block but cant find one, do i need to remove anything to bring it to view
thanks
 
i've got a similar problem with mine, 2001 focus estate.

at some point, windscreen must have been replaced and they hadn't stuck the cowelling back properly on the passenger side. When it rains, water pours under the seal into the air duct - straight into the blower. awesome design. i've used clear sealant to stick mine back down. passenger side carpets damp at all? thats water getting in that side.

Anyways, now i have a noisey blower, bearing probably rusted/gone so i need to sort mine - but i've done loads of googling recently on repairing the blower. i'm not risking a 2nd hand job off ebay that might already be chuffed - so i'm just going WD40 it!

Anyway, 1st check the fuse, make sure it's ok. Next, get a multimeter and check the switch. it's probably not these but always check the obvious first. if they're ok, DB's probably right - it's the resistor pack. As the fan wears it burns them out. u can get a new, better resistor pack off ebay OR if you're handy with a soldering iron i found a guide via googlewhere someone got a replacement resistor for 79p from maplins (i find it if u want it)

Getting to it all is a mare, basically, take out the glove box and start from there.

i might do mine this weekend as no blower in this weather is a mare!
 
Thanks for your help guys, really good advise thanks so much
