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) Review: My co-worker has a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty, so I also ordered one for his ... - My work truck is a 2005 Ford F-150 and my fan was only working on the highest setting, which is 4 and extremely loud. My co-worker has a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty, so I also ordered one for his truck. If you own a Ford vehicle from the 2004-2008 model years (I am sure others too), you might as well order one of these because it is a very common problem. Of 9 Ford trucks at my work, 5 of them already had this same issue. My mom's Escape and dad's Ranger, both 2008 models, both also had this problem. On my truck (2005 F-150), it is simple. The glove box has a rubber stop on the right side, press it in and drop the glove box down. You will see two 8mm screws on a black plug. Undo the plug by pressing the tab and pull the wire off, then take out the screws. It was easy on my truck. Take out the old part, replace with the new one, and reverse your steps. Presto-your blower motor works on all speeds again. Do not let the dealership trick you into buying a new blower motor you do not need! On my co-workers 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty, it was the same process but a lot more difficult. On those trucks, there is two grey-connector wire sets you have to disconnect and get out of the way. It helps to have a longer ended socket wrench and you have to lay on the seat with your head facing the drivers side. The part is more on an angle thanks to the air-box, so it takes a little longer to do but still a simple matter. 5 minutes on my truck and about 20 on the Super Duty and both blowers working on all speeds. I unfortunately brought a short handled socket wrench for both, I recommend a longer-handled wrench to make life easier. ## Features - Fit type: Vehicle Specific - Part number: YH-1715 - Country of Origin: China - Package Dimensions: 16.8 H x 2.7 L x 8.2 W (centimeters) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001NZ0SP8 | | Actuator Type | Push Button | | Best Sellers Rank | #167,954 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #8 in Automotive Replacement Blower Motor Relays #625 in Leaf Blower & Vacuum Accessories | | Brand | Motorcraft | | Brand Name | Motorcraft | | Circuit Type | 1-way | | Color | Original Version | | Compatible Devices | Ford vehicles | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Ford | | Connectivity Protocol | X-10 | | Connector Type | Clamp | | Contact Material | Copper | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | motor | | Controller Type | Touch | | Current Rating | 15 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,840 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00031508546646 | | Included Components | YH-1715 | | International Protection Rating | IP00 | | Item Dimensions | 3.5 x 2.75 x 3.23 inches | | Item Type Name | Resistor Assy | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Manufacturer | Motorcraft | | Material Type | Copper, Polybutylene Terephthalate | | Model | YH-1715 | | Mounting Type | Panel Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Positions | 1 | | Operation Mode | Motor | | Part Number | YH-1715 | | Specification Met | UL | | Switch Type | Push Button | | Terminal | Screw | | UPC | 031508546646 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Ford Limited Warranty | | Wattage | 8.2 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Motorcraft - **Circuit Type:** 1-way - **Connector Type:** Clamp - **Contact Type:** Normally Open - **Current Rating:** 15 Amps - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 3.5 x 2.75 x 3.23 inches - **Material:** Copper, Polybutylene Terephthalate - **Operation Mode:** Motor - **Switch Type:** Push Button - **Terminal:** Screw ## Images ![Motorcraft YH-1715 Blower Motor Resistor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61npy63Z6vL.jpg) ![Motorcraft YH-1715 Blower Motor Resistor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31VZiMRXohL.jpg) ![Motorcraft YH-1715 Blower Motor Resistor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/316yOB-Z0dL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this item fit Ford Fiesta 2012** A: Based on the search I did on Amazon, this should fit a 2012 Ford Fiesta. **Q: Will this work for a 03 ford expedition?** A: No. Without climate control the part is almost the same, but the cut out on the corner is on a different corner. With climate control the part is much larger. **Q: Will this work on a 2012 ford escape XLT?** A: Yes. There is a how-to video on You Tube that shows how to install it in a 2012 Escape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy4G6fibwz8 It is an easy repair. **Q: Does this part will work on 2012 ford expedition** A: You have to cross reference the part with your model, make and vehicle to get the answer to your question! I can't tell you that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit for my Escape *by R***N on May 4, 2016* This fit my 2012 Ford Escape with 50,000 miles perfectly.

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.
