Call a Ford dealer and check for any recalls on your vechicle. They should be able to look this up from your VIN. I specifically know that there is a blower resistor recall and I believe there is a fusebox wiring recall also.

The blower resistor recall just covers the resistor for the blower switch circuit. I think it's only good for 80K miles or something IIRC, but is pretty easy to do on your own if you have to.

If your car is a 96, the recall is good for up to 150,000 miles or like ten years after the recall was sent out..not having a defroster on a cold morning is dangerous, I have yet to take advantage of this recall. My car does the same thing, only blows on the lowest setting.
