In there you have four devices to check out to pin point the problem: the switch it's self, the blower relay switch, resistor block, and the blower motor it's self.

I find this information in the Haynes Repair Manual and from another Ford Forum:
Electric diagram shows the blower motor relay in the, "Blower/Flasher Relay Block". I inquired at another forum regarding the location of referenced block. The response was either in the Power Distribution Box under the hood or part of the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) probably located behind the fuse box at the lower driver side dash.

The blower relay and the flasher relay both share the same block, the flasher is blue and the blower is black, and are the same size. There is a plastic cover (snap on) over them which ia about three inches long and about two inches wide. The block is attached to an "L" shaped bracket, which is attached to the dash support by two screws. The only panel I had to take off was the lower dash panel under the steering wheel. Once the panel is off the bracket is about six inches to the right of the steering wheel braces and four inches left of the cigar lighter. If you take out the two screws on the brace facing you the block will swing down and out. Then you have easy access to the relays.

Also could try to check this section on the Repair Manual.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Why blower fan won't turn off after i turn off ac/heater

You relay switch is stuck on. Replace it. Second thing to check is the fan switch may need to be replaced. If you turn off your engine and then back on does the heater fan go on even when it is turned off at the switch?

1997 Explorer heater/ac blower stopped working. Was making clacking sound prior.

you can try to smack the motor to see if it comes on (old trick)
its where the passanger feet go smack the large black box on the bottom. if it comes alive you need a motor. and by the sound of the clacking, also sounds like a blower motor. be advised that you can **** things off the pass floorboard when in recirc mode. i have removed lots of debris from blower motors. :)

Heater /ac

i had this exact same problem with my 98 explorer. your blend actuator (blend doors) are not morking. these are on the passenger side under the dash. getting to them will be dificult, but it can be done. you will need to take apart the heater box, to fix them. (the big black box under the dash).

1995 Ford Explorer heater/ac not working -

that cliking you hear is most likely the heater relay. but i don't think thats it, i would be checking to see if there is a resister, for the blower motor, it should be someware around the blower motor along with the relay in the same place. it will be on the heater box held in with a couple of screws, and a plug going to it with 4 or 5 wires.when they go bad, blower may only work on one or two speeds or not at all.
