Pete M Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Took me all of 5 seconds to search google and find out that my 96 Chrysler T+C uses a resistor block to give you the different speeds for the interior blower motor (like our trucks). I had an inkling (because only the highest speed works), but wasn't sure, nor did I know how to find the resistor block. It took me longer to type this than it did to find my answer and the directions for removing the block. I also found a big dodge vehicle forum I'd somehow never seen before. :dunno: dodgetalk.com
Kenosha Warrior Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 They are pains to replace. My dad's fan went funny and kept killing resistor packs. his is an 01 Caravan SE.
Pete M Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 One of the posts I read suggested that may be an indication of a fan that's pulling too many amps.
BLHTAZ Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Chrysler vehicles are well known for blower motor resistors going bad. I sell a lot of them for all models for Chrysler, Jeep & Dodge every day. Most of the time the regulators fails just because it is bad, but about 30% of the time it fails because the motor is going bad and the resistence is too high so if you resistor goes again in a couple months...replace it and the motor ;) . Window regulators are the other big mover with very regular failures...especially on minivans & Grand Cherokees.
Pete M Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 Yup, and my first resistor block replacement is coming from the junkyard. That way if it does blow in a week I'm not out a ton of cash.
