I've got a weird one here.
I have a 2008 Ranger Sport 4x4, new to me, 150K miles. When I bought it the blower didn't work. No big deal I figured. The owner told me about it up front and said his buddy had fixed it earlier, but it wasn't working again.
I checked the resistor - it was obviously new and recently replaced. Same with the pig tail, which appeared to have been installed nicely. It wasn't a hack job is my point. I checked the fuse under the hood, which checked out. Then I checked fuse #27 in the passenger side interior. I found a blown 10A fuse. The manual calls it the "Climate control blower relay/blend doors".
When I replaced the fuse, the blower fired up and worked at all speeds. Sweet! But as soon as I change the vent to anything other than the upper (IE: AC, MAX AC, upper and feet, feet only and defrost) the fuse instantly pops.
I can switch between OFF and UPPER at all speeds with no problem, with heat or ambient air. But any other location will blow the fuse.
It blows if I start the truck in any of those spots, and blows if I use the switch to change from upper to something else.
Any advice would be appreciated. I’m not great with electrical, but not so bad I can’t follow advise here. I’ve rewired some motorcycles, but that’s dead simple compared to a vehicle.
Thanks
