Problem overview

Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing issues with the blower motor seizing and getting stuck on one setting. This problem can stem from a faulty blower motor, which may stop functioning altogether or only work on high settings due to issues with the blower motor resistor. Additionally, some owners find that moisture entering the blower motor from the cowl panel can freeze overnight, leading to a seized motor. It is also important to consider potential malfunctions in the climate control vent system, which can affect air direction and blower motor functionality. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check for visible damage to the blower motor, inspect the blower motor resistor, ensure there is no moisture causing freezing, and investigate the climate control vent system for obstructions. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended for further assistance.
