Another thing to go wrong on a crappy car. This was minor though compared to all the other stuff.

Focus LE

Ford focus 2001 Heater Blower Failed. suspect Thermal fuse. I cannot locate the Thermal fuse or get the Heater Blower out of the car to open it and look for the thermal fuse. I need the AC working for my vacation to France..

While the Thermal fuse is not a critical safety item it should not be inaccessible. ford design guys should ensure all consumable parts can be accessed easily for Maintenance and Repair. how old are these designers - 23?
