Default Could use some help with a '93 Dakota

Hello everyone,
I have been a member od Dodge Forum for a while, but I really don't post, I just lurk. I have a Stratus, so Ive concentrated my attention on that section. I do have a buddy on another forum that is looking for some help with his Dakota, and I said I could atleast hook him up with you guys and see what happens. I'll copy and paste his posting so I don't lose anything in info transfer. Any help you guys could offer would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks


'93 Dodge Dakota w/ the 318

1. I believe my blower fan resistor is shot because only HI works and none of the other speeds do. I was just wondering where that resistor was located and about how much one would run me.

2. The cruise control doesn't work...no idea why...i have definitely taken that for granted...i hate not having CC...just wondered if anyone else has had the problem or if you have any ideas...
I have checked the fuses and that's about all...it has the On/Off button on the steering wheel and the Set/Resume on the other side of the steering wheel...

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Here is the blower motor resistor:



The cruise control issue could be either a bad servo or bad switches. There are a lot of parts to that system, so its hard to say which is broken.

Hey guys, whiteout posted this for me and i figured i would just join...

I found the resistor...but the harness wasn't even plugged into it...the harness was over to the side..it had a jumper wire going from one terminal to another...im assuming this is why i only had HI...i took the resistor out and looked it over...looked a little rough and had a couple broken pieces so I went ahead and ordered one from eBay...hopefully this resolves my problems...
