Blower Motor Resistor for 1997 Ford Taurus

[LouNaTech]

I've been searching at Auto Parts stores & online to try and find a Blower Motor Resistor for my 1997 Taurus 3.0L 6cyl DOHC.

The AC/Heater Blower only functions on the highest speed setting and I've been told that when this happens, 90% of the time it's the Blower Motor Resistor. I located and removed the Resistor Assy (which was, indeed very rusty) and now I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement.

Does anyone have a cross-reference part number, replacement after-market part number (or even better...a link to an online store) where I could purchase one of these little buggers?

Thanks in Advance!

Hope everyone's having a great holiday & Happy New Year!!!

Hey Mike:

I had previously tried AutoZone's online parts catalog and came up dry. I used the search criterion you provided "blow motor resistor" a minute ago but there isn't anything listed for a 1997 For Taurus (once you drill in by vehicle make, model & year).

I get an error message that states "No parts found"

There is a "Connector - Blower Motor Resistor" for $13.99 but that's only the connector (not the resistor, itself). http://www.autozone.com/N,15701793/s...eResultSet.htm

I also found that one earlier...but I'm still not getting anything on the actual resistor.

Mike's recommended site worked!

I received a reply back in about 5 min from the owner (Mr. Torrie R. McPhail) that listed the part number as follows:

Correct Part number to order is F6DZ 19A706-AA

Thanks Mike!
