A/C resistor for dash AC on P2000i - justinn - 12-05-2024

If you have an issue with the dash A/C fan only working on High, I found a cross reference for the resistor(there are two if you have passenger controls also).

Motorcraft D8BH19A706AB    or D8BZ19A706A  for a 1979 to 1981 Ford Mustang

I have attached a picture of the back side which shows the plug configuration. I am sure there are more cross-references out there, but I have verified this works. Setting 1 and 2 may be the same speed(hard to tell), but 2-4 definitely increase blower speed. I have tested this for a couple of trips and everything is working great.

I forgot to put the location in which to find the resistors. They are attached on to the blower assembly behind the radio(center console), at the very back at floor level. You will see some relays on a panel, these are in the center of that panel. Access is a PITA if you try to access through the radio hole or the teardrop access under the switches on the center console.

This is great information.

I’m getting started troubleshooting my driver side fan inoperative problem. 

I’m just starting the resistor testing phase. 

Here’s something I’m going to add to my troubleshooting process…. When I get involved in a project that involves the front of my bus, it reminds me of the wiring CHAOS behind the pretty design and materials. Focus on task at hand but also be vigilant of the mess you’re looking at as well. 

There are so many wires behind the dash, that means there are multiple possibilities of failure points which can cause big issues.

I saw your post. I wish my wiring was laid out like yours in the passenger's foot area. I think they changed something between 05 and 07 as my tracing is significantly more intensive! They went to a multiplex system(of sorts), and I think they were still figuring it out by my coach. haha.

I am currently chasing down the horn triggering problem. I may just bypass and put a momentary button over by the exhaust brake.

I saw you had a ground issue, and those are the worst to chase down. Incidentally, my A/C compressor(york 210) $hit the bed on this last trip, so I'll be tackling that project next. FWIW, fan speed control is still working great!
