SOURCE: rear cooling and heating blower motor does not work

its not in the headliner. its under the side panel in the rear on drivers side. you half to remove the panel on the inside just above the rear tire. since the moter runs sometime i would replace the blower motor resistor first cause these are known for going bad and its in the same area as the blower motor. this resistor controls the fan speeds and if its gone bad the fan dont run right. plus its alot cheaper than blower motor. once you have replaced the resistor you can turn the fan on and see if its a fixya before putting the panel back in place.

SOURCE: Remove the radio in a ford windstar 2000

There is a ford radio removal tool. It looks like a pair of horse shoes most times. Or you can insert four 8 common D finish nails in the four holes (or 4 six D finish nails) -one in each hole until you feel it click. Be gentile. simultaneously push each side towards their respective front door and gently pull the radio out.

2000 ford windstar---I turned the airconditioner on and had none, also the circulating fan for air doesn't come on. Checked fuses and seemed to be O.K. Perplexed in Las Vegas

switch or blower motor resistor. you can jump the wiring to the blower motor to see if it works. if it does, its likely the blower motor resistor or less likely the switch.

if it has climate control air conditioning, then it is likely the module(s) and you will have to have it checked out.
