Best you tube video on this common problem; straight to the point no beating around the bush; those lengthy you tube videos that led you to no where dry me nuts.

Best advice and love how this guy goes straight to the point this was very helpful to fix both my 2500 03 Ram

Finally. I’m having the no blower when I adjust the wheel. Up in down off up on down off.

This worked for a 2003 4.7L Ram 1500 - the two wires for the blower motor were as pictured in this video and I connected them to the replacement relay as shown. I did not have the heavy gauge blue wire for the trigger though, I used an orange wire CAV 14 and my blower is working in the start/run positions and no longer is using the ignition switch relay. Thanks for the video, much appreciated~

Hey can you tell how you did yours with the wires being different colors and size I have a 04 as well.

For the two wires for the blower motor did you have to cut them from the pigtail in order to attach them to the relay?

Fix a mans dodge. He's good for a couple of months. Teach a man to fix his dodge he might just make it the whole year 🫡

Thank you! My blower motor hasn't worked in like 2 years. The ignition switch is causing my truck to not start, drain the battery and my blower motor is not working. Replacing the ignition switch just fixed it till the next morning and then my truck was dead again. replacing the ignition switch fixed my truck not starting but not my blower motor. I am sure my ignition switch just died again because of the overload from the blower motor and it drained my battery. I was wondering how to fix it by putting in a relay but no one had a video about putting a relay in. Thank you for putting this video up. It's a very common problem but no one really talks about it to much, mine just went out a few day's ago. I am hoping this will fix my problem of my truck not starting, draining the battery and blower motor. I am 100% sure this will fix it. I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9L Sport with 220,000 miles. I am gong to go fix my truck now and hope everything goes well. Thank you again!

Thanks for replying so fast; I do appreciate the info and will watch my profanity in the future. Love my old Dodge Cummins; just get really frustrated at how dodge designed the rest of truck; it’s hard not to vent when it’s 110 degrees and your ac blower motor decides it’s a good time to quite.

Bro, I have the 2002 5.9 (non-diesel) and I the EXACT same issues, especially the startup and take the keys. I burned the same way you explained. For 2 freaking months my baby has been down or at half capacity. I will be rewiring the truck today the way you did it. Damn you answered so much in just a few minutes.

Check the condition of the connector to the blower as well. (Under the dash passenger side ) I later found my connector was melted and was causing a lot of resistance which i think contributed to my switch messing up

Excellent fix. Thanks for the help.

Thanks! This gives me more direction of where to look for a solution to my similar problems. Going to look at it and see if it could be the same issue. No start (hot wired a push button) No blower motor No speedometer No power windows …all failed at the same time

I can confirm this is a solid fix for sure, I had to hunt down the relay he used but I found it on Amazon and it’s $10.

Excellent video. My 2003 had this problem after I had an alarm system installed.

Thank you so much! I've been pulling what little hair I have out with this one. Even with a new fan resistor, I was getting a bit over 8v at the motor, not enough to make it spin. It's winter and the wife's truck can't be without heat. Lo and behold, I move the tilt on the steering column and now the fan is working again. Looks like it's time for the relay fix!

Brilliant fix. I noticed that the pinout on your dad's 3500 has 3, 10-gauge wires. The 2005 Ram 1500 I am trying to fix has the 2 big wires. Mine are Red and Blue at the top as opposed to the Brown and Green in the video. I'll bet the color changes has to do with Daimler/Chrysler days, the Germans use the Brown color for hot. So Red for me is battery and Blue is blower, I would assume those are also the services you cut and spliced. Your 3rd 10-gauge confuses me because it would mean you have 2 10-guage wires to and from your blower motor. In the absence of another big wire, I am thinking that the white in-line 3-way splice for me, should be the wire color that comes from the other side of the blower motor and resistor. Would that be correct?

@TehArtfulDodger

The white wire, in my case, is a trigger wire. It is used to switch on the relay, which in turn closes the circuit between the top 2 big wires. You can choose any wire that is a key-on powered wire.

my 96 2500 has the same problem-only its the blower, abs module and the power windows. Terminal 5 off the ignition switch. New relay going in tomorrow.

Where do the 2 wires you cut go from the switch to the relay? Im trying to figure out how to wire it right thanka

My power window fuse keeps blowing. (Wire I tied in to). As soon as I start heater. Any idea why.

What r the other two wires u hooked up what color was those

Perfect, I am now subscribed. Looking for that relay? Can you be more specific about relay

Check for automotive relay on amazon, you need the relay and the wire harness kit to make it easier to wire in

I am having the same problem with my 2001, replaced everything, still can't get blower to work through the switch, had to run a ghetto rig with aux switch one speed to the fan

Can you please send the link to the relay you used?

Yeah, I’m having the same problem with mine. The blower motor stops and the windows won’t go up and down. If I tilt the steering wheel up and down or tap it, the blower motor starts and the windows will work. I’m going to try this method.

I've had 3 and tilt wheel crushed a wire or plug under glove box would need a wiggle

I have a 2004 dodge duly I was driving home and some smoke started coming out from behind the steering column. All of a sudden my ac blower fan stopped working. Could this be my same issue? And if so, do you have a part number from Amazon where I can order the relay?. Thanks in advance!. Great video!..👍

This could be it. Check the condition of the connectors to the fan in the passenger side footwell. I have later found that the connector to the fan goes bad and causes a lot of resistance in the ignition switch, its a cascading failure. As for a amazon part number I would just search for relay with pigtail, and buy one that is similar looking to mine

Double check the plug on the ignition switch if it's seated all the way, and wires in the plug are good. Also, double-check connections on the connections to the clockspring. When you say the wipers arent working, do they constantly stay on?
