Hello,

 I am new to the newsgroup and I have a few questions to ask.

Here is one problem I cannot figure out maybe someone here can help.  I have
a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport.  I was having problems with the heater cutting
in and out while I was in Iceland and then it went out completely right
before I left.  Once I returned from Iceland to the states I changed the
Resister below the Fan Motor with a new one and it seemed to fix it for a
while.  Then it went back to cutting on and off.  Sometimes when you hit a
speed bump the fan would kick in and other times I would let the hood close
hard and that would bring it back to life. Now Its dead again and nothing I
do will bring the system back online.  I checked all the fuses and even
cleaned them with a wire brush.  I unplugged everything and checked for
problems or corrosion.  Now I checked the connections with a test light at
each plug and it seems like I am not getting power from the switch inside
the car and at the fan motor and resister.  What would cause no power to
reach the connection?  I pulled the resister again to make sure it was still
intact and it still looks new no breaks or problems.  Any Ideas?  Thanks for
the help.
