My 2002 Windstar rear fan quit. Front is fine. What are the likely issues?

Front works hot and cold. Rear fan doesn't work at all, hot or cold. When I was checking the settings I think I heard relays switching.

Remove trim panel left side to gain access to blower motor check for voltage at blower switch on. if none check at resistor next to blower. if none then check at switch

Let me know what you find. Basicly if voltage at the part and not past then that is fault

Hi again. I tried to donate and it doesn't work - are there issues right now? Keeps clearing the amount to zero and saying it can't be zero.

I haven't had time to buy a voltmeter and check what you said, however last week it came on while driving and was working fine until I turned off the van, then not working again when started later.

Hi - I am not sure that my last response went through, reposting. BTW, I tried to donate and it won't register an amount, and tells me it can't be zero (which it wasn't).

I haven't checked current ( no time to buy a voltmeter and do it yet) but the other day while driving it started up, worked fine until we shut the van off. Later when restarted, it wasn't working again. A part or a short?
