I have a 2002 Monte Carlo and if i turn the a/c to setting 1 or 2 nothing happens. It works perfectly fine on 3 and above. What has happened and how can i fix this? I dont always want the a/c or heat to be blasting at level 3.

 

blower resistor has gone bad.

 

yep, that would be your resistor. sorry, you might be paying some big bucks for that one. im not sure how much, but for a car i had before, it was gonna be about 400.

 

should be around $150 but make sure its an ACdelco resistor it is actually a revised/redesigned part now.

 

is it 150 for this one?? dam i wish i didnt have to pay the $397.97(looked for the reciept) but that was for a contour. the thing that go bad on those cars are outstandingly expensive, and there are plenty of things that go wrong with those cars. but im still planning on getting another one in the future(SVT though) yeah i know ive downed fords plenty of times here but... there is just soooo much potential for those cars. and the engine and trans is bulletproof.
WOW, sorry i got off topic there for a min.

 

i did just read right that the engine and trans in a contour is bullet proof?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!? 2.0L splitport is iffy but the 2.0L zetec is only good for melting down and making mustangs out of. and the trans is horrible just like the coil springs and rear brake systems on them.

you must have had the only good one on the planet. those are the worst car that ford has ever made since 1990, and that is including some colossal failures.

sorry now that was off topic.

 

did you read anything about the duratec?? i had over 300,000 miles on the original motor and trans and was still running strong. im just going by my expierience with the car. it looks like youre talking about the 2.0, im talking about the 2.5.

 

$150 for a resistor? Jeeze, I paid $90 for a whole new blower motor.

Found a resistor on ZZP, if you happen to be the handy type it might save you some green.

sorry about being off topic but i had one more thing, there was never any work done to teh motor of trans with, liek i said. over 300,000 miles. i thinkit was around 330,000 when it got smashed up.
i was just going about with MY experience. so sorry if im wrong though.

 

awww im sorry...LOL the fuse or relay or for the starter blew once. no idea why??
