Tell me where heater core is located in2004 ford freestar and if I need to remove dashboard

Fortunately your motor is easy to access. See picture and directions below. Before replacing your blower, I recommend you also see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6234839-doesn_t_heater_or_air_conditioner_blow . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

Have 93 chysl New yorker need to find location of resister for blower motor

Resister is located on passenger side fire wall. If this doesn't fix heater blower problem then need to replace blower fan. Remove the glove box (be sure to save all screws) to access the blower fan. It is a very tight fit to get out and back in.

Replaced mine and works fine now. Hope this helps. Mary Ann

The blower motor resistor is out on my 2004 dodge stratus.

Hi my name is Allen!

The blower motor resister is located on the passenger side under the dash, it's mounted on the bottom of the A/C Housing.

If you bought the resister from the dealership you will need to make the hole larger for the new style resister so it will fit.

You should also replace the blower motor, because the resistance built up inside the motor is what damages the resister.

For further assistance contact me at FixYa!

Heater Control Switch Only Works on High

Your problem is probably a part called the heater resistor block or board. When this part burns out you will only have high speed on the fan. On my 1999 voyager it is located on the firewall and it snaps in a hole in the firewall. This is under the hood behind the alternator.
Mine had a multi pin black plug plugged into it. Unplug the plug and
you should be able to pull the block out insert new block and plug plug back in and it should come to life.
