The blower is pretty quick and easy to replace. Be sure to rule out a bad switch before you go that far.

You'll find a wiring diagram for the '99 blower motor here, and the description of the circuit operation on this thread should enable you to locate the fault. If you don't have a multimeter then a 12V test lamp would be just as effective.

now it,s working perfectly?? the blower motor is working perfect now. i ain,t gonna push my luck and jerk the swithes around as usual. i noticed a recent poster inquiring about a similiar problem. my car spent alot of time upstate new york and i suspect maybe has some corrosion on a contact. BTW = a/z ,etc. around here want about $58. for the motor .the switch at a ford dealer is about $10.

on and off= the blower works when it feels like it. yesterday it wasn,t working but i had the switch on,then when hit a bump on the road it started working.

Wire where it clips onto the motor has come loose. Had any really long legged people in your car lately. I had a big passenger in mine and he knocked the wire loose. Sometimes it would work and others not.
