Heater blower motor on 2003 sable took on water from leak in wiper cowl and ceased to function. Extended warranty did not cover water leaks so dealer wanted $400 to seal leak and fix motor.
On a 2003 mercury sable the blower motor quit working. For several months prior to the failure, water could be heard sloshing around under the dashboard and the carpeting became wet. The fan motor and resistor had to be replaced because of water damage. The mechanic who repaired it told me that this is a common problem and that ford is aware of it. The fan motor literally sits in a puddle of water. Fortunately there was no sparking which could have LED to a fire. It cost over $300 to repair. Ford motor co. Is aware of this design defect and should pay for the repairs.
2003 mercury sable has problems with heater fan equipment.*mr the dealer told the consumer water leaked into the blower motor and destroyed it. Water also leaked into the compartment cabin filter. A newly designed cowl piece was installed that would prevent water from leaking into the fan.
Grunting noise from driver side power window when in the full up position.
I recently purchased a 2003 mercury sable ls and prior to leaving the dealership in philadelphia I noticed the front windshield did not have the factory tint glass which was stated on the window sticker and windshield as having tinted glass. I returned to the dealership and spoke with the sales person,sales manager & service manager and after comparing other sables of 2003 in the lot, all stated in the front windshield as having the tint but some did not appear as having the darker band running across the top of the front windshield. No one could address this as to why some did or did not other than they were different supply vendors ford used that day. It appears that whomever ford supplier are at this point has a process error in the manufacturing application of the tint process since ford dealership management could not answer or willing to find out the answers to the problem.
