Ford Focus heater resistor 

Thank-you for making this short and to the point. Some videos are like 10 minutes and you just summed it up in 1:15, good on you sir, and thank-you for the information.

Thanks for this. Managed to fix mine following your tutorial. Warning to those with larger hands - it can get very fiddly!

Thank you for taking the time to uploading the video didn't know what it was but I do know it was a big help took me 5 min to do

Thanks very much. You saved me a good 20 mins of faffing around on my 2003 Focus 1.6.

Good job, now I can take the Glove compartment apart more easily and replace my resistor......yea, thanks a million

I had a Ford dealer replace this resistor 3 times in 6 months and was told it may be a heater unit problem which could cost over £400 to replace. However they came up with a solution. Always leave the setting on 4 BEFORE you switch on the ignition, when the car starts turn down the blower level to what you want. It doesn't make a lot of sense however I'm willing to try it for a while to see. I'll like to bet that if the motor is switched off before you start the ignition this would also save the resistor from blowing.

Great help. Thanks!

Mine only seem to work on 4 but it's still not that strong, going to try this repair.. thank you..

Thanks for the vid most helpful

it worded for me 2002 zts with over 270k on it .thanks so much.

Thanks dude. Yesterday I was using the air and for my surprise dont work. Just in 4 velocity. I have a focus car 1.6 2005. Very Easy change this.

Just changed mine it's working now

My 2014 Focus is doing this. I wonder if it is behind the glovebox too.

Thank you 😊

thanks worked a treat no problems and a great vidieo

Thank you for thissss

Thank you, worked perfectly

So after taking my car in for a replacement windscreen & door lock repair my blowers don’t work at all. Any pot shots at where to start? (Garage that did it now out of business)

I hate my ford focus mk I. I allready had to change everything on that damn car. Now i have the same problem, and even after a few days, he did nt work anymore at 4 to. Thanks for the vid.

You are awesome :) Thanks

Thank´s

do you know why a resistor would get super hot on one setting but not another?

Resistor on my 2002 Focus blew and I replaced it a month ago. Couple of days ago it blew again so I went to my car guy and he says that the fan drews more power then it should and that is the reason why resistor blows. So I'm replacing the fan tomorrow and then I have to replace resistor one more time. First it worked on 2. 3. and 4. speed, but now it only works on 4. A/C doesn't work ofcourse.

Any ideia why the recirculation mode doesn't working?

just perfect...

Bravo!

Thanks for this video ! I changed the old resistor and now it works fine, but the new resistor gets super warm and smells. Do you know what the problem could be?

HI thank you for your video, could you make a video how to fix the heated seats that are not working?

Perfeito

Pq puede ser q cuando prender el ventilador arranque directo el electro en AA si pero en la calefacción no debería o si? Es un Ford focus 1.6 nafta modelo 2006

My defrost knob is stuck on defrost and I cannot put the heat down to vent or onto my feet has anyone encountered this problem with the defrost knob being stuck in 1 position and it just won’t move without breaking?

My fan won't work at all. Checked every fuse and they're all ok. What else could it be?

Hi. I have ford focus 2003 1.4 zetec. mine only works on 4 switch. 1,2 and 3 doesn't work. But my fan motor is making some noise when I switch fan off. anybody help would really appreciate that thanks

my fan won't work on 1 or 2 for heat or air cond.

Is there a way to test to see if the problem is the resistor or the switch before I start?

Aceiași problema o am la focus 1.8tdci. Prima treapta nu învârte ventilatorul dar cuplează AC. Celelalte trepte (2-3-4)învârte ventilatorul dar nu cuplează AC.

Ik heb een ford focus -2001 maar mijn kachel werk niet meer , ik had mijn aanjager en weerstand vervangen en alle zekering na gekeken weet iemand wak kunnen verder zijn ,

so I replaced this resistor as I had a similar problem. yesterday my heater/fan worked then it didn't. it would work on 1,3,4. then all of a sudden it didn't work at all. I then wiggled the dial around and found that when I pushed on the dial it would work until I quit pressing on it. today it wont do anything atll? I went to auto parts store and got the new resistor and installed it and still nothing? im wondering if it could just be the dial/switch itself or am I missing something? please help thanks!! great video by the way!!

My ford focus 58 plate is just blowing cold air any ideas Anyone on how to get it to blow hot and cold air

Jayjay I have the same problem with mine but mines its 08 I think its in a different place I dont see it..

thx thx thx thx 1000 times THX

Hi! I have the same problem. I recently replaced the resistor. The guy who replace it said that connector resistor melted from the heat. After replacing resistor, I felt a strange smell in the car, then even appeared some smoke and a day or two later the new resistor is stopped working. Now I personally replaced the resistor, but I noticed that resistor become very warm immediately after I turn on fan on 1, 2 and 3 speed. Is this normal and what could be the cause?

Is it the same layout for a Fusion 2005 uk ,1400cc on youtube it’s all yankee Fusions Thanks

where did you buy the resistor?

do you have to disconnect the battery first

Thanks! 7€ end Happy end☺

Im looking for the switch and harness. Does any one know what the part number is. Its totally melted and i can only buy used because Ford said they don't have the part.

just waiting for the part to come from china, ford's wanted a score for the part,only paid 4 pounds.

Is it hard to change the resistor ?
