so anyway... i got two questions for anyone willin to donate their time...

1) could this also be caused by the resistors behind the glovebox? im going to replace those this weekend when i get a chance and i want to know what to hope for...
2) if all else fails - how do i take the switch out to look behind the scene? how difficult is it to disassemble the panel?


this is a 95 LX 2.5L ATX by the way...


ok on a slightly different (yet related) issue, i went in for a recall recently:
00S44 Recall - Engine Cooling Fan Electronic Fuse Installation

Could someone explain to me what the recall deals with? the reason i want to know is that i had some work done under the fuse box where the electrician said 'something had burned through the wires and created a short circuit'. just curious if these two things are related... and if they are, it's a good thing i kept the receipt



TIA guys

I had exactly the same problem this weekend. I have a 1997 Contour LX V6 2.5L. I brought it into Ford and they fixed it for free! It was part of the recall. The control switch and the wire harness was melted. The fan resistor was fine though...so they didn't change that.
