    I will never again buy a Ford Fusion. Used to love this car, but after the issue with my heater, which is very common on the Fusion, and Ford's unwillingness to do a recall for it, my mind is made up. Mine is a 2012 Fusion. I was looking at trading it in and getting a 2018 or 2019 model year in the spring, but after this incident.. HELL NO!! I'm going back to GM or Chrysler. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Ford. Love their trucks, owned a couple Mustangs as well. But when there is an issue such as this, and the company knows about it but won't do anything about it except send you to the Ford garage and stick you with a massive bill to do the same thing that cost me about $42 to fix, screw that. They have now lost me as a customer. It's not that it was a big deal for me to change, but for others who might not be so mechanically inclined or savvy, this could mean an expensive repair for them. It makes me ask and wonder.. what other common issue goes on with Ford vehicles that they know about but tell the consumer, screw you? Personally, I don't care to find out. I am done with Ford.

    Could you reference how you found the parts. What did you search for ?

      www.amazon.com/dp/B07CHCVN7J & www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAKY76Y on Amazon. If you check eBay though, you'll probably find them at an even lower cost. If I remember correctly, eBay is where I got the wiring harness.

      @elvisonstage ....I to have been dealing with the same issue your Fusion had. Blows great heat for a few minutes then it blows cold air and it repeats the cycle. I have not been able to figure why it's doing that. So was it the heater core or thermostat? Thank you!

      Mine is a 2012, and yes I believe they are the same. I do know there is some model year differences but I don't recall which year it switches. But regardless, ALL model year Fusions have this issue. Edit: just checked, it's the 2006 through 2012 that are all the same.

  • @rickjeffjeff
    @rickjeffjeff Рік тому +1

    That looks like a blower motor resistor. Controls speed levels and can handle lots of amperage when working properly. When blower motor get old they draw more amperage causing high resistance possibly over working the resistor. If the new pigtail don't solve it maybe look at the blower motor,cabin filter causing motor to work harder,leaving motor on one setting vs other speeds.This is for ac and heater.Fusion has a whole separate issue with blend doors but no blend door actuator will fix it.More with something in the body control module that is used for more functions other than the ac/heater.Turn on the headlights and ac/heater start getting crazy.Ford won't fix it.Re flash,charge a lot and no fix.

      What sucks, is as of today, the Fusion is usually kept parked by the garage. Have had brake problems 5 times now, 3 times with the heater and pigtail, cam position sensor went out, got that fixed, now brakes are acting up again. So we use it as a 3rd car in case of emergency's, haven't junked it yet. Glad we didn't junk it, because now my Silverado is having issue with low oil pressure, so my wife is driving the Hyundai, and I had to temporarily dust off the Fusion for now till my truck gets looked at. God I hate this car, but well, it's still doing me some good at least. And as long as the damn heater works, I'm cool.

      Sorry, I'm not much of a car guy. It's a heater resistor, follow the cables coming from the blower, it's mounted on the firewall under the dash, 2 screws. www.amazon.com/dp/B07CHCVN7J & www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAKY76Y I have noted your concern and have linked to the parts in the description, thanks for watching, hope if you're having this problem, it gets resolved.

    Didn't bother reading comments so this may be redundant. As far as a safety issue it is not. That type of plastic will not catch on fire. All pigtail connectors are the same. This has already been thought about. Just happened to me with the resistor/pigtail cooked. 2010 fusion sel, 3.0. Really, stupid issue. Ford engineers are lost in space. Brake valve body below master cylinder also. Valves get stuck and brakes go all the way to the floor. Car will stop but it blows your mind if the issue happens. Never buy another ford. Typical of many autos the small things they seem to take yrs to correct. But the small things are huge dollars. The brake cylinder is 1200. Junk yard 600. Resistor/pigtail at Autozone 218. Put new blower in while I was at it. Another 89. Joke at best.
