A 2012 Escape had intermittent hot A/C and a lowest blower setting that did not work. The climate complaint contained two symptoms that might not share one cause.
What the report actually shows
With the old resistor pack removed, the owner observed only the highest blower setting. After fitting a new resistor, the lower settings returned.
Reported outcome
The owner confirmed the blower-speed repair. The thread did not establish that the same part resolved every A/C temperature complaint.
What to take from this case
Test fan speeds separately from refrigerant cooling. A confirmed blower fault should not automatically become a diagnosis for warm air at the vents.
