2003 model ford mondeo, fan only works on setting 4?

fitted the new resistor myself and all is working fine.
please be advised this is an easy DIY repair.
My local garage quoted me £90. what a rip off.
they said the resistor would cost £50 +vat.
i bought this item from ford dealers....£9.95 all in.
So please be aware !!!

I have the same problem.
Aparently it is due to a resistor burning out on the heater box. This is located behind the glovebox, which can be pulled out once opened. The heater box is a large black plastic box on the right hand side (the left side is taken up by the fusebox).
Exactly where the resistor is, I have yet to discover, but I am informed by my local garage that it is not an uncommon failing in mondeos. Eventually all settings stop working, which means that the wiring may be burnt out also, so it is worth doing something about it early as poss.
I have been told that the replacement parts can be up around thirty pounds.
