does anyone know why my heater fan would not have any low settings???the high settings work fine.cleaned all the contacts on the controls.would it be the fan?or did i completly miss something??
-
i had to replace my switch

If you have a Tracker look behind your glove box. There is a set of resistor coils in the top of the heater box with wires plugged onto it that controls fan speed. I've had to replace this part on all my trucks as the coils burn out
-
I can't believe this--I was gonna post this exact same question! All I have are high and next to high.
Biker, can you see that the coils are obviously burnt, or do you have to guess?
Like, which fix should someone try FIRST?
-
I had to disassemble the switch, clean all contacts and put it back together. Then it worked fine.
-
As stated, the switch and the resistor coil pack are the 2 most common problems.
I would check the coil pack first....easier to get to/check. It should be obvious, if that is your problem....one or some of the coils will be burnt in two.
Most all the switches I have ran across have some heat damage to the connector....I guess the switch is not designed to handle the amp load....some will continue to work fine, some don't.
-
Once you pull the resistor block out it is usually obvious, you can test with an ohm meter to verify. Not sure how long the switch repair takes but checking the resistors only takes 5 mins
-
Man, thanks guys! You're making getting mine in shape a LOT easier.
So another stupid question, but one that may make my life easier in the months ahead:
Does NAPA have a website where I can like type in the year, the make and parts--and they'll give me the part #s so I can pick them up for myself?

napaonline.com

I went there:
Two strikes on the batter for both items.

The switch and resistor pack may be dealer/vendor only items.

Makes sense.
It's not like I really planned to buy this stuff myself anyway--I just wanted to get an IDEA of what something will cost for my mechanic to replace.
Like, when you hear the word switch, it can mean $19.95 or $79.95.
I appreciate the hand-holding--I was a big disappointment to my father and know NOTHING about cars.

Don't worry about it! That is what we are here for!
-
so are these resisters easy to find?do i have to take the glove box out?or just go up underneath?
-
pop it out, much easier

You can take the glove box door off.....makes it easier to see/access.
The resisitor pack is in the top of the big "ductwork" under the dash. The pack should have a white, square connector plugged into it....unplug the connector, by pushing on a "tab" on the side of it, wiggling it, and pulling up. There will be one screw holding the resisitor pack in place....remove the screw, lift up slightly on the right end of the pack, slide the pack to the right a little and it should lift right out.

I'm printing some of these threads and keeping them in an envelope, because this project I can wait on:
In South Florida, you never put your AC on anything but high ANYWAY. And heat? What's THAT!?
-
wellits all about the heat up here in Canada....and if it is that warm i just take my roof off.so still no need for air conditioning......eh
