To find the relevant fuses, you'll need to consult your 1997 Ford Explorer owner's manual. It will have a detailed fuse box diagram showing the location of each fuse and what circuit it protects.
Look for fuses related to:
* Blower motor: This is the fan that moves air through the heater core.
* Heater control panel: The control panel itself might have a fuse protecting its circuits.
* AC/Heating system relay: A relay is an electrically operated switch that controls the flow of power to the blower motor, often based on the settings.
Typically, Ford Explorers have two fuse boxes: one under the hood and one inside the passenger compartment (often under the dash). Your owner's manual will show their locations and fuse diagrams for both.
Without your owner's manual, providing specific fuse locations is impossible and attempting to guess could lead to further problems.
