The air conditioning blower motor in Ford vehicles plays a key role in circulating cooled or heated air throughout the cabin. It is widely used across various Ford models, including sedans like the Focus and Fusion, SUVs like the Escape and Explorer, and trucks like the F-150 and Ranger. Most blower motors are powered by 12V DC motors, with some higher-end models using brushless (BLDC) technology for better efficiency and durability. These motors feature an integrated fan (squirrel cage design), offer multiple speed settings when used with a resistor or control module, and are designed for low noise and high durability. Common issues include weak airflow, strange noises, or non-functional fan speeds, often caused by worn bearings, faulty resistors, or motor failure. Genuine Ford parts (Motorcraft) or trusted aftermarket brands like Dorman and TYC are recommended for replacements, with part numbers varying by model and year—for example, CM5Z-19805-B for Focus (2012–2018) or AL3Z-19805-A for F-150 (2009–2014).
