Fan motor quit working

Asked by Git2work Jan 06, 2017 at 10:53 PM about the 2013 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My heater blower quit working. All speeds low to
high.  I unplug the wiring harness and put my volt
meter on the terminals and I read around 14 volts
DC. Changing from low to high speed it still reads
14 volts. I pull the motor out and connect it to a 12
volt battery and it runs fine. Put it back in and even
though 14 volts is present it does nothing. WTF? I
read somewhere that if the battery or charging
system isn't what it should be the computer shuts
down any modules that aren't necessary for engine
operation. Maybe I read 14 volts with no load. Once
the motor is powered up the computer sees the
draw and powers down the module? Anyone ever
heard of this?

If you are reading 14 V then the battery is being charged, and is charged. It looks like they have a problem with the plugin that goes into the Blower Motor Resistor. You can purchase a Blower Motor Resistor Kit. Replace the resistor and splice in the new wiring harness & plugin.
