electronic automatic temp control

[OldJunk]

The blower fan on my 97 explorer limited was only working on high.,blower motor resistor,right?..wrong..Called Ford 184.00 for resistor.....no way, so i pulled it and it looks like a black box w/a circuit board attached. Called Ford again they said they might have some at cent. distrubution in mid Dec.none avail.So i go junk yarding.....every one is gone, its hard enough just to find a ford prod. w/ auto climate controls...finally after 7 junkyards I found 1 on a E.B explorer and it works.......Moral of story...If you have a explorer/ranger w/ this climate controls even if it still works,and your at the salvage yard, if you see one of these...GRAB IT.....hell,you could at least sell it on ebay.

I can get the resistors for the EATC all day long for around $60 from my local dealerships. I had to replace mine when I installed the EATC into my '97 Ranger.

Not on the west coast. no after market. no dealership stock. junkyards only.
