im trying to replace the blower motor on my 96 dakota were is it located at. ive heard its under the passenger side dash, but i dont see it

 

It is on the pass. side behind a cover.

 

which cover there the ones thats closest to the door with a vacuum for the door hanging of it and then one more closer to the middle of the car

 

not sure about the 96's but the early daks (87-92) had a problem with the resistor located on the outside firewall, passanger side. might be worth checking before you replace the motor, if you have one. mine went and i only had one speed for heat. i've read others didn't work at all.

 

yea cause one day when i had the heater on it cut out and didnt come back on till i restarted my truck. then all of sudden the ac just stopped working. i mean like if im driving fast i can feel air come in from the vents. so i though it was the blower. what does the resistor look like and how do i know if something is wrong with it

 

sounds like a bad resistor shut down the blower. it's located high on the passanger side close to the fender on my 89. it has 5 wires with a large white wire on the plug that plugs into it. mine does not have air but i don't think that matters for the blower.
the only way i know to check it is to replace it. (5 bucks at a junkyard). there is a way to check it but i don't have the diagrams and resistance values to give you.

 

i have the Haynes repair Manuel would the diagrams be in there by any chance

 

is this the resistor and if so when i took it of i found this

the top prong has like black stuff on it, and on the plug were that prong went into its a little black

 

nvm i cleaned of the prong and plugged it back in and now my ac blows fine i just have a leak somewhere, i put dye in my system a while back and and i noticed just now that there is a bunch of dried dye near a o-ring, is that were the leak is and if so how do i seal it up



sorry for the triple post
