Defogger Controls Problems of Ford Taurus

My blower fan and resistor need to be replaced on my 2003 Ford Taurus wagon because water is leaking in through my cow panel.

On Feb 9, 2006 our blower motor would only work on high. We took it in then and they replaced the resistor, never mentioning a potential water problem that would lead to blower motor failure. On June 25, 2006 our blower motor went out. We took it in again and were told a water leak caused this & they replaced it & told us about a bonnet they could install so this doesn't happen again. We feel we should have been told in February about this problem and given the chance to purchase the bonnnet at that time, instead of paying for a new blower motor in June. We feel these should have been put on these vehicles in the first place and none of this would have happened.

2003 Ford Taurus that was purchased in 2004. Jan 05 the blower for the heating and cooling system began to work on high only. Dealer tested and replaced part number f6dz-19a706-aa this fixed the problem. This was repaired again in Jun 06 and may 07. The part has now broke again Feb 08. The problem is due to a water leak that Ford cannot repair for some reason.

Heating system does not operate properly. Variations in temperature are up to 20 degrees between dash vents. When heat is set at floor and dash vents, defrost vents provide 60 degrees. This, at times, causes windshield to not clear snow as it freezes upon impact. Variation in heat causes driver and passenger discomfort and requires excessive manipulation of controls to maintain some comfort. This decreases driver alertness. Cold from front defrost requires driver to seek ways to keep hands warm, such as sitting on them or wearing gloves. Ford and local dealer advise there is no problem.
