Hello,
I have a 96 Ford Explorer XL with regular climate control functions.
A few days ago the air stopped blowing in speeds 1, 2 and 3, and only
the 4th high function is blowing air, no matter where I choose the air
to blow from, A/C is working fine.
I thought it's the blower motor so I bought one and replaced it. When
I took the old blower motor out and put the new one in I plugged the
wires and all 4 speed were working fine (before I attached the blower
to the car) when I finished, before I started the motor I turned the
ignition on and the air was blowing fine in all 4 fan speeds but came
out only from the windows exit. I gave up and put everything back and
then when I started the car it was back to where it was with the old
blower motor. Only the 4th speed level was working and the air came
out from any exit I choose.
I don't know what to do and what is causing the problem. I read back
in this newsgroup and saw some options, but no one was exactly as
mine.
I will appreciate if someone who had or know about the same symptoms
will tell me what he thinks I should do.
Thanks,
Hagay.

The system uses vacuum from the engine to direct the air. If the engines off
no vacuum.

Usually that means the resistor pack is bad. High bypasses the resistors so it
keeps working. It should be mounted in the ducting by the blower motor.
