Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1A Auto.com. The right parts installed correctly; that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to show you how to replace the heater in the A/C blower motor on this 2000 Lincoln town car, same as any '98 to '02. Tools you'll need are an 8-millimeter socket with a ratchet and extension. My vehicle did have a 10-millimeter bolt on it as well but I don't think that that was original. Start out by moving your washer bottle. This is an 8-millimeter bolt here; remove that. I'm using a ratchet extension 8-millimeter socket. As you can see, my inner fender's broken so actually I'm just going to pull this right out. Hopefully yours comes out a little easier. I'm just going to move my water bottle right over here. Now you can see we have pretty easy access to the fan motor. Your lead is right here. Just pull back on a tab here. Disconnect the lead. Pull this tube down. You can see there's a bolt there, a bolt there. There is a bolt down further on most cars. Mine is missing; it looks like this has probably been replaced before and I'll show you how to get to that.
Right up underneath there's an 8-millimeter bolt right here. You want to remove that. I'm just going to go up in there with my 8-millimeter socket and my ratchet. We'll just fast forward through that. Okay, get that bolt out. Now what you want to do is kind of lift up on your inner fender and move it over a little bit. Now you can see your fender's not on that lip so you can push it down. Most likely what I would do is if that bolt was still down there, I'd push down on my fender and then it's possible to reach down in there and get it. Since I don't have it, I'm going to move this 8-millimeter bolt. I'm pretty sure that they should be all 8-millimeter, although my car has a 10-millimeter bolt there, which is probably because this was replaced already and somebody lost the correct bolts.
For this bolt I switch to a 10-millimeter socket and a extension and ratchet and we'll speed it up. Now what you're going to do is push the fender down and pull your fan up and out. New assembly from 1A Auto is just like the old one. I'm just going to remove this tube and swap it over. Then go back the same way. I push my fender down and get it in. Put the fender back up. Pull the fender up with your hands and get it back in place. This bolt here... this bolt over here. Let me tighten this bolt. Put my lead back in. This is screwed back on. Move that wiring back. There's a little tab where the washer bottle goes into on the fender. Make sure that goes in. This, I'm just going to kind of stuff down in there because it's broken, which you would obviously want to bolt yours in. Now take our bolt, tighten it in, and tighten it up. We're all set.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

The motor was easy to install, worked very well and was quieter than the old motor.

About 2 years ago I replaced the original motor in my 2001 Town Car with a "knock-off" cheap replacement from another company It didn't blow as much volume as the original had and it was very loud. I finally had enough and purchased this motor as a replacement for the replacement. Ahhh! It's blows a lot of volume and does it quietly. I've always had good results from 1A Auto and this no exception. Thanks guys! My classic Lincoln is cool again!
Excellent Service!

Thank you!

The part appeared to be identical to the original part on my 2000 Lincoln. The original part seemed to be working fine. The problem was a faulty resistor, which was also replaced. Because of the age of the vehicle, it was recommended that both be replaced. The A/C and heat are now working fine.
Customer Q&A
My ac completely stopped blowing all of a sudden. All speeds and all settings i.e. defrost and floor direction. Do you think this is my problem or the blower motor resistor? Fuse under driver dash is fine although I haven't checked anything. With a December 1, 2015

Hello, Though we cannot diagnose on an email, you will have to properly diagnose with a volt meter at the BM connector. With the ignition key in the on/acc position, turn on the blower fan to any speed. Check at the connector. You should see a lower voltage the slower the speed setting. As you go up in speed, you'll see a voltage variant upwards. Say low speed 4V, Med 8V and High 12V. If you do not see ANY voltage, you can start looking at other items like the resister or the ac/heat control module. You can also test the BM by doing a hard wire directly to a 12V source like your battery. Simple power and ground to see if the fan spins up. Good Luck

My system did the very same thing and it was the blower motor Beware there are a couple of different styles so make sure you order the right one

Check to make sure you have power going to the blower motor. Using a good voltage meter can save a lot of time and money.

Since it's not blowing on any setting, I would start with the resistor first.

Yes everything you need will be included in your purchase except for tools.

All you will need are the tools but it would not fit in my 2001 Lincoln Town car even though it said it should. I contacted 1Aauto and they accepted the return, refunded my money and told me that they did not have one for my car.

Yep it went in just like it showed in video. Just make sure you check that there is nothing inside housing like a paper towel or anything else to block the fan. Have a good day hope this helps.

Yes, the blower motor comes "complete." Just need tools. Blower attaches with 5-6 screws to the housing, and two wires (one hot, one ground). Only tricky part is removing the plastic housing cover... just need to be patient while you jiggle it free. Took me 30 minutes.

Hey, I have another question if you mind to answer. We change this part when a/c works but doesn't blow at all or heater doesn't blow. Am i correct? If it doesn't work, what would happen?January 21, 2016
Matt Y

Yes, this will generally need to be changed if you can not get heat or ac to blow air at all. The motor will generally not work at all if broken due to it being an electrical motor. If your motor is not working it can be due to other electrical issues as well, but this is the most common fix.

Check your relay of fuse

It's most likely the relay fuse.

Check the blower fan first with a test light to see if power is going to the blower fan

where is resistor located om 2000 town car?October 23, 2024

It's behind a hose at the rear of the engine proper about 12" to the right of the blower motor near the firewall. I tried to find a photo, could not. Maybe this helps.

Yes, instructions suggest to drain the cooling system for easier access to resistor. Which means cooling system will need to be refilled make sure to bleed air from the cooling system or over heating will occur. You are going to need patience to accomplish this task.
