Heater resistor

2003 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX
Car: Ford Mondeo
Year: 2003
Variant: 1.8 LX
Categories: Leaks & Noises
i have looked and checked everywhere and cant find the resistor on my 2003 modeo lx i have been throught various sites and checked the location that people are syaing the resistor is located by taking out the glove box and padding on the underside of the passeger side dash i have also had the motor fan out as well but cant find the resistor there is however a cable with a black plug on the end just lying there not connected to anything and there is also nothing i can find to connect it to and there is a square hole roughly where i think the resistor is supposed to be located at the right hand side just behind the motor housing my blower is only working on setting number 4 is it possible that the resistor is built into the motor on my car as i have now been trying to locate the resistor for svereal days and cant pleae help.

Is it a climate model ?
Answered Feb 25, 2013 (11 years ago)
On climate models they dont have a separate resistor pack as such, its part of the motor .Probably a faulty motor or the control panel .

How do I find if its a climate model or not?
Answered Feb 25, 2013 (11 years ago)
Briefly , with climate control you just set temperature you want ie.20 degrees and the system will automatically adjust the fan speed and the mode to maintain 20 degrees .

Ive just bought the car on sat is it possible that the resistor is missing as there is a black plug just lying not connected to anything and theres nothing I can see for it to connect to and do you know if the resistor is missing would the heater blower only wrk on setting no 4

If a heater resistor is gone the heater motor runs on no. 4 position only

Why not put a bulb for a headlight connect it onto the plug this will give you resistance and change the fan speed which will tell u if that,s the resistor,s position.

The link on the second reply shows you the motor fitted to a car with climate control , compare it to yours ?
