Detailed Product Overview

This Global Parts blower motor resistor is used in manual climate control systems to regulate blower fan speeds through the HVAC circuit. In modern vehicle electrical systems, the ECM may manage A/C operation, while earlier designs use the switch and resistor circuit to control compressor operation and protect the system from failure. Global Parts 1712209 is listed for 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, 2010 Mercury Mariner, and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable applications with manual A/C.

Fits 2009-2012 Ford Escape, N/A; blower resistor; w/ manual AC; for pigtail use 1712341. Fits 2009 Ford Escape, N/A; blower resistor; w/ manual AC. Fits 2008-2009 Ford Taurus, N/A; blower resistor; w/ manual AC. Fits 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, N/A; blower resistor; w/ manual AC. Fits 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, N/A; blower resistor; w/ manual AC. Fits 2010 Mercury Mariner, N/A.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Blower fan works on only one speed
• Intermittent cabin airflow from the vents
• No response from the HVAC fan speed selector
• Resistor failure in a manual A/C control system
• Electrical fault in the blower speed circuit on Ford Escape or Mercury Mariner models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses manual A/C before ordering. For 2008-2012 Ford Escape applications, note the pigtail reference 1712341 where specified in the fitment data. Match the connector and mounting location to the original part before installation, and confirm the blower motor and related wiring are in good condition to avoid repeat failure.
