SOURCE: Electrical problems with trunk gas door and ac

the first problem with you fuel door is most likely the rear actuating motor or cable. remove the right rear trunk lining, and loosen the 2 silver phillips head screws, and remove the actuating motor. i would suggest replacing both the motor and the cable, as both of these parts have superceeded to a new improved part. the AC problem is caused by a faulty fan control unit. this part not only receives the switch signal and processes the information to control the compressor, but also controls the fans, their speed, the compressor,and the hi/lo pressure switch. both of these parts a a common problem for the beetle.

SOURCE: Blower on the heater/AC not working on 1998 Escort, checked fuse under dash?

Ok, first off, check the fuses under the dash. If they're all good, does the blower work only on high speed? If yes, then you have a bad blower motor resistor, which is located under the hood, near the blower motor itself. If the motor doesnt work at all at any fan speed, make sure the wiring harness that plugs into the motor under the hood is clean and tightly installed. If it still doesnt operate, sometimes tapping on the blower motor housing will kick it on, but if that doesnt work, you may have to replace the blower motor. They are available aftermarket, and arent usually too expensive.

SOURCE: Heater Blower won't work

There was a bulletin reguarding water contaminating the blower motor, which overheats the blower resistor and renders it inoperative. The fix was to replace the blower and the resistor and seal the culprit hood cowl screw at the base of the windshield, which is the second screw from the passenger side. They say water drips off of it down into the fresh air opening.
Here's what I'd do: Assuming your switch and blower motor is good, replace the blower resistor. Remove the blower motor and see if it spins without any excessive drag. If it's okay, reuse it. If it's dragging, it will overheat your new resistor in a short period of time and you'll be back at square one. The blower resistor is mounted to the front of the case with 2 screws to the left of the blower motor. Remove the glove box and you'll see it.
The Hood cowl screw is straight down into the cowl, the second one from the right side, about 10-12 inches from the right fender. Pull it out, put some sealer on it, and reinstall it.

I have a 1998 Chevy blazer with a 4.3 L v6. I currently have no power to my ac compressor and no power to the ac fuse.

According to the wiring diagram, fuse 10 (AC compressor relay) is powered from "hot at all times" bus in the fuse panel.

Check fuse contacts in the fuse block.

I have a 1998 Ford Escort SE .Where do you find the blower motor fuse and replace it?

It is probably not the fuse it is more than likely the connector. Located where the front passenger sits above their feet. Look for the blue wire

1998 ford escort a/c blower/fan motor won't come on

Probably time for a new blower motor. Can you check for power
at the electrical connector where it's attached to the blower motor? If you have power there at the electrical connector on one of the wires it's time for a new blower motor.

1993 Ford Escort Blower Motor & AC Switch

I'm going to start from the beginning.
The blower motor gets power from the high blower relay and it is grounded thru the fan switch and the resistor. So you should have power on the pink white blower wire coming from the high relay to the blower motor. The orange black wire from the motor is ground going to the resistor and fan switch. The blue wires on the control panel are for the ac compressor.
The high blower relay gets power from fuse number 5 in the box. The blower motor is grounded thru the resistor and then thru the fan switch.

2000 escort diesel van.interior heater has stopped working,checked fuse and its not that.any ideas ? any thoughts.cheers

likely your blower motor. but take connector off at blower, key on, htr on high. should have power at connector. check with a test light. If power is present, its your blower. If no power, and fuse is good, it's a wiring issue or your heater blower switch on the dash.

Ac relay for f150 fuse box diagrams ac clutch is not working been told its a relay...not sure where its at dont have owners manual

If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford :
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals/default.asp

The AC clutch solenoid is not in the fuse panel, not sure what relay is AC. There is a Blower motor relay, but this is only if the blower motor does not work in AC, vent or heat.

The air on my 1998 chevy suburban blows but it doesn't get cold. I put free-on in it. It only took a little. The compressor will turn manually & will not kick on. fuse ok. electricity in harness ok....

Probably the electric clutch of the compressor is not working. This is the part that uses the power generated from the drive belt to drive the compressor. Normally if this is working, you would hear a sound in the engine compartment once you turn on the ac. Otherwise you may have only the AC blower spinning. If they check out OK, the thermostat may not be working. Your AC will not engage because it may be getting the wrong signal thermostat.
