Ford Focus Estate 2013 - Heater not working properly - Geoff Lee

My fan heater gave off a burning smell of melting plastic a few weeks ago, then the next time i put the fan on its stays on for a few minutes then slows down and goes off.....is it the blower motor that has broken or something else

Thanx

Very likely to be fan speed resistor and connector plug overheated. Access is easy. Drop down glove box and resistor is located at the back and to the right. Parts readily availble from the ' bay of fleas.
