Electronic Load Control Unit?

[LowProbe]

I own an '89 Ford Probe LX. Recently both my radiator's cooling fan and my heater blower motor quit working. After looking at the chassis electrical schematics I found that both are connected to the "Electronic Load Control Unit". Unfortunately my repair manual doesn't show the location of this control unit. I was able to hot wire past the control unit for the cooling fan but cannot figure out the blower motor. Can anyone tell me where this "Electronic Load Control Unit" is located in my car.

they are probably refering to the distribution block in the engine compartment. its the black box by your battery that has the fuses and relays in it. you'll just have to figure out which one is for the heater blower/cooling fan and replace it. hope this helps a little.

The electronic load unit is on the left "kick" panel below the dash on the driver's side. I also have a 1989 Probe LX. I have replaced this unit once. I had to go to the "Automotive Recycling Center" (read Junk Yard) and go through the cars to find the EXACT one. According to my Ford Service Center, you have to replace "like for like". They were not sure what would happen if I were to install a unit for a Probe without A/C or the other options the LX has. Needless to say, I bought this car from an individual and the 2nd load control unit has gone out also. I can't find an aftermarket replacement or a wiring diagram for it. Good luck.
