The AC and Heater Blower won't work on 1998 Ford Mustang?

I have a 98 Ford Mustang on which the blower moter for the AC and heater stopped working. Could it be a fuse or a relay switch that I could fix or is this something that I will have to take to the dealer and spend an arm and a leg on? Where in the engine compartment would the fuse or relay switch be located?

thanks

    check the fuses before you bring it to a dealer they should be in a panel either near where the drivers knees go or under the hood. You can bring them to an AutoZone or Napa and have them check them. If in doubt replace them anyway. They are pretty cheap.

    Could be the switch, fuse, relay, or the blower motor itself. There may be a fuse in the fuse block inside the car. There may also be a larger fuse and relay in the fuse block under the hood. (it's usually near the battery). The switch can be changed easily if your familiar with how to tear the dash apart. You can test the blower motor by running a positive and negative wire from the battery straight to the plug on the motor and see if it kicks on. Pick up a Haynes manual at an auto parts store (about $15) and it will tell you how change any of these parts.

    Did it suddenly quit or die a slow death? If it suddenly quit, with no abnormal noises heard, you might have luck with a fuse, blower motor resistor, relay, or control heads replacement. Start by seeing if you have battery power at the blower motor with the fan switch and key on. If you do than it is a blower motor problem. If not, it could be any of the above listed parts have a problem. Also make sure none of the connections are loose or corroded and the ground for the blower motor wiring is good.

    Probably your blower motor. sorry, but that's gonna be an arm. Maybe a leg, too. Maybe you'll get lucky, and it'll be a relay, which is located in something like a fuse box under your hood, usually close to the front on drivers' side.

    it should say either on the fuse panel cover or in your manual what fuse is for what. could just be your blower motor as well. im pretty sure fords bury their blower motors pretty good. i did a heater core on a taurus and i had to take the steering column and half the dash out. i would have had to do that for the blower motor as well. so ya test the fuses and relyas first then i guess you can tackle it urself or pay the man to so it.

    i own a repair shop,and you need to check the fuses for all of this first,then if they check good it could be the heater motor voltage resistor gone out on it,this is a simple device that is in the out side of the heater box,and is real easy to get to and replace,when you buy it they can show you exactly where it goes,and anyone can replace this,it probably will cost you around 20 bucks for the part,and less than 5 minutes to install it,that's about it,good luck.

    Yes,it could be a fuse..Look under the hood,glove box,driv.door..you should find the fuse box..If you cant find it then I suggest you take it a mechanic shop ..

    I don't know if it is the same problem that I had. I hope not. but there was a thing they called a (blend door) that had to be replaced to make mine work again. The part was cheep but the work was expensive.
