Blower only on low
Blower only on low
When the resistor pack gives up the ghost, the blower motor always works on high, and maybe other speeds.
It doesn't sound like a resistor pack, so you might check the fan switch or its associated wiring.
If you need to replace the fan switch, to get the knob off, turn it to high then it will come off very easily.
Good luck

yes check the switch, when I lost some of my fan settings i found out the switch/connector started to burn up on my 95 mystique ...
If its the same as the cougar... should only take like 5 minutes...
either way its in an amazingly awkward position..

I had the exact same problem and was determined to fix it before I drove from Lancaster, PA to Atlanta, GA to move this summer.
Junkyard charged me $5 for a blower motor went under the passenger side dash in 5seconds installed and working.
pull a tab or 2 up on the carpet unplug the motor rotate to remove.

I just done mine....same problem, got a new blower switch and when changing it, I found the plug that connects to the back of the blower switch was melted to the point of almost a fire!!! Seems this has been a well know issue with these cars.

Well enough that Ford extended the warranty on this repair to 10yr/150K, which, of course, has completely expired for all these cars.
If you need parts, tell the dealer to look up Owner Notification Program 01M07.

Yeah, the wifey's daily driver is a 98 SE Sport, currently on jackstands in my garage...which means she's driving MY daily driver, the 94 ATX..

Same problem with mine...blower switch/connector melted. $13 for the switch from Ford and $22 for the connector. I made my own connector. It's easy to get to. Just pull off the plastic panel surrounding the radio and HVAC, remove the two screws that hold the HVAC controls on and you are there.
