Motorcraft YH-1715 Blower Motor Resistor

Blower motor resistor. Controls fan speed on a 2011 Ford Escape. Worked flawlessly. Installation requires some patience as space is limited in area. Installation videos helped a lot!. I wasn't aware that this part is what controls fan speed. I stumbled on the information while searching for a solution to another problem. I went a couple of years using the A/C fan on high only with very noisy results. The part is of very high quality, fits perfectly. Highly recommended.

Doing great Motorcraft for Ford is the way to go I'm having no issues with my fan motor

This fit my 2012 Ford Escape with 50,000 miles perfectly. The resistor comes in a Motorcraft bag with the part numbers: YH-1715 and 3F2Z-18591-AA. Made in Mexico. I first noticed that speeds 1 & 2 were gone. Soon after I lost 3. The design of the resistor has changed, but after 40? years it still serves the same function, and still fails. I think I did my truck a few years ago. Anyway, it is fairly easy to replace. I used a 1/4" drive ratchet and a short 8mm socket. Open your glove box door. Squeeze the sides of the box together, so the box will open all the way. (everything will fall out... open it that far.) You will be looking at the heater box. Towards the right side and on top of the box, you'll see some wires going into a plug. The screws you need to remove are pointed down, and you can't really see them, because they are just above your eyesight through the glove box opening. right next to the wires is a flat tab that barely sticks out of the connector. squeeze it towards the wires, and the plug can be removed. Or... do what I did - remove the screws and get it out where you can see it. There is a third screw that holds the wire harness to the top of the heater box. It's maybe an inch from the connector. Remove this screw with the same 8mm socket. With all three screws removed, you can pull the resistor out where you can really see it, and unplug it. Compare the old and new resistor - make sure the mounting holes look the same. Snap in the new resistor, and drop it back in the slot of the heater box. It should only go in one way because of the idiot-proof alignment pin. Now would be a good time to see if you got all your fan speeds back. ( I put it back in the heater box because I assume it gets hot, and uses the air flow to cool it down.) Install the three screws snug. Don't over tighten them. It ain't going anywhere. Squeeze the sides of the glove box and rotate back into the opening. Don't close it all the way... ...Clean up all the junk that fell out of your glove box. Close the glove box. Done! Total time was maybe 20 minutes. (On one hand, I've done this sort of thing before. On the other hand, I took my time)

I was nervous about ordering the resistor for my 2010 F150 from Amazon because the picture showed the item was manufactured in Mexico (same place the original part was manufactured) but the description said it was manufactured in China. I ordered the part from Amazon anyway and it was shipped in an envelope not a box so I was nervous about possible damage to the resistor. I opened the envelope and to my surprise it was manufactured in Mexico and was in perfect condition. Installed the resistor and it fixed my blower so it operates in all four speeds now.

Incorrect part for a 2011 F150. There are different kinds.

My air conditioner in my Ford Escape was only blowing air on setting 4. I researched the problem on google then YouTube and ordered this part. It’s an easy fix and can possibly save you around $170.00 doing it yourself. It not only fixed my air flow for all four settings but now I have cold air. Before I put the part in my air was hot coming out and now it is cold. I thought I was going to have to get a cold charge and flush that would have costed me another $150.00 or so. Happy I purchased the part!!

Is this a genuine Motorcraft part? I don't know. I installed it in my 2014 F150 over the weekend and seemed to work fine. Got in my truck this morning, my fan worked on high only. That's how you know they fail. I'm VERY disappointed. I would give zero stars if I could.

I purchased this item to make a repair on a 2009 Ford Escape, it's my elderly mothers car and the blower motor only worked on high. After researching the cause of the issue, it lead me to this part. It arrived quickly, within a few days and I began making the repair. It's a pretty straightforward repair, but the part had holes formed in the plastic for the small bolts that fasten it to the heater box, and is supposed to have holes for 2 alignment pins, so that you know it's in the correct position, and that it will seat properly on to the heater box. My part had the alignment holes but they were in the wrong location. I had to use a drill to make holes for the position pins, and while I didn't have too much trouble with this, it's something I believe the buyer should be made aware of. Also, be careful unplugging the wiring harness it can be tough and there is not a lot of room in there if you have larger hands. It's a good product and did fix the issue, heater now works on all speeds.

Envío todo bien gracias En el empaque original de motocraf No lo e probado aún Luego comento

Great product.Easy to install,works on all four settings.

Had an issue wherein my 2012 ford expedition AC wouldn't work at speed 1. Read online found that this part needs to be replaced. Ordered replaced and my AC works all fine now. Best part is it says Made in China, however the original part was made in Mexico.

Was having issues with the AC blowing hot air. Got this part working good as use. A little tricky to install but this is a genuine Ford part 👌 so got a deal!!!!

Works well
