Watched the first half of this video with sweat dripping down on my screen but finished it with nice cool ac blowing my face😊

here's more info - long attempts to start the truck with fan on will cause burn out - the resistor shown here is available with a new clip and harness for cheap - mine went from 3 to 2 to Hi only - swapping dash dials did nothing - changing rheostat got me #2 working - will try harness next - THX

Dude I have no clue how I came across your video but I'm glad I did. I just bought an 04 and never could figure this problem out. Definitely something for me to take care of before winter hits

2001 Dakota here. five minutes. most of the time was spent contorting to get a view from the foot well. There are three screws (hex heads). Two cannot be seen unless you peer straight up at the location, but that might not be physically possible for a dood over 5'6". To gain access to one of the screws requires the removal of the screw that holds a black, hard plastic hose. Once that screw is removed, you can move the hard plastic hose just enough to access the screw attaching the resistor to the truck. this is a $10 fix. I completely thought I was in for a new blower. Thank you @Scouser Tech for posting. I guess, I'll never walk alone.

cjbeast1998 have you replaced your resistor? Should get all working again in the mean time. Quick and cheap fix. Don’t fight the cold too long

I went through 3 of these resistors on my 2001 Dakota. The problem is the 5-pin connector is not rated for the amp load on the highest and 2nd highest fan speed settings. Heat and oxidation would build up to the point the connector would melt and fuse to the resistor. So even with a new resistor block and connector it will just happen again. I finally solved it by soldering the wires directly to the pins on the resistor block. You have to carefully cut away part of the shroud to get good access to solder. Once done, fill the whole cavity with silicone sealer or epoxy as a potting compound. Mine has been working fine for four years now. Also, you can get new resistor block, connector with wires, and even new fan/motor assembly for very little $ on Amazon. Don't pay dealership prices.

thanks for your vid

Excellent description and Removal / Installation Instructions , you forgot to mention taking off the screw for the air duct , the one screw is a real pain to get onto , am using a screwdriver type handle with an extension for the screw that is buried at back , if you have a flex shaft type extension or screwdriver handle ( 1/4" drive) I would recommend trying that to get back screw out / in .

Hey everyone, I had issues with my 2004 Dakota blowing the resistors and the issue ended up being the wiring harness/connector. I went through a couple resistors so looking into it more the connector and almost 1 1/2 of of wire was corroded. I checked with my local parts supplier and they wanted almost 100 just for the connector! Reading this was a design flaw and people actually started using 2008 improved connector, I bought one more resistor, cut off the connector, stripped the wires, and soldered the clean wires to the resistor itself. I have not had an issues since. Carefully read your trucks schematic for wiring, or simply plug the resistor in and mark the colours of the wires on the resistor to ensure proper polarity. So before you replace switches, blower motors, check these resistors which is the cheapest part (4.99 CAD) BEFORE going to your mechanic and paying 85 -90 for them to misdiagnose like many others, causing a headache for many dakota owners. Hope this helps someone

Whats left after replacing blower n resistor? After replacing my blower motor n resistor, resistor keeps melting after 20 min of run time, twice replaced, think it might be the controls themself

My 05 Dakota is not blowing out of dash vents, only floor and defrost ? ? ? ?

Anyone know if this is the same for a 2005 dakota? Had to bang on my old blower motor for it to work. Replaced that but the fan won't kick on.

In my particular case it start doing the same at the first three speed points (not working) Now few days a go blower won't works at any point. My question is if can be the same problem?

Does anyone know why these keep blowing? This is my second replacement in 2 years.

What if the tab you push down is broke?

mine is a 2001 and TWO blower motor resistors are heating up to the point of melting the plastic....! any advice?

Is it the same if all through 3 work but 4

What if the resistor doesn’t just pop out?

Its an awkward angle to lay on, but can you get a pick or small screwdriver in there and pry while pushing on the tab? The problem is that the resistor can sometimes melt a bit when failing and distort the shape within the connector.

It will burn out again in a short period of time, your just fixing the symptom. You need to replace the blower motor which is the cause of the problem. Amazon is the best place to buy the blower motor, a lot cheaper than the local auto parts store (don't forget to buy an universal wire harness also).

Hey do you know if the 2002 dodge durango comes with a AC filter?

I do have a few questions... Our heater and A/C work in the front but it only blows on the windshield, not other options like feet or face. Is it a resistor plug too? And we have controls for the back as well, the fans work but the A/C and heater doesn't work, what could it be for that problem? We have a 2001 Dodge Durango

My lowest switch setting does not turn on the a/c, but the rest of the settings do work. The switch settings actually seem like I lost the highest blow setting for the second highest setting...like the settings are askew. Thought it could be the switch. Is it more likely the blower motor resister?
