jeater blower on full permanently

My heater.climate control blower was permanently on "full". The advice was to clean the potentiometer first, which I did. This had no effect.
Getting the cc panel out was a real pain, because a previous owner had broken the clips and glued the thing in place ....
The problem was solved by replacing the Heater Blower Control Module. Obvious really....... But at £159 a pop, not cheap! Fortunately I found a used one.
Breakers: Don't throw these little things away! Someone will need one.
Anyone got a outside temperature sensor?

I have similar problem with blower on constantly.
When I remove the climate control panel and turn ignition on the blower still blasts away - above message suggests it will be the HBC module - can anyone confirm this?
From above message - is the potentiometer the AC switch on the cc panel? Assume this is not at fault if the cc panel removed and blower still blasts away.
I have read all the climate control info on the site (2 hrs later...) & will try a reset and fault testing/diagnosis procedures. Any help appreciated.
Regards, johndyork.

Spoke to part dealer re blower constantly on and he immediately suggested 'resistor' and said a problem on mondeos. Resistor (FINIS 1017490) £130 + VAT - seems to look like a big relay. Time for some serious fault finding! Any suggestions welcome.

Don't pay that for a resistor. It is essentially three pieces of wire (resistance wire) and a thermal fuse.. the fuse can be bought for about £1 and the same with the wires.

Btw, it should be easy to test. It is located behind a 5x10cm (approx) black cover on top of the blower (just behind the wall behind the engine).
Each wire should have a resistance of 1ohm iirc, and the fuse shouldn't have a too high resistance either.

Glad you got it sorted!
You are from York, I presume? We live "South of the River" - and for once this is not the Thames! Have you got details of the Ford used spares company at Rotherham? Sound like a useful mob!
