Default Heat and Air Issue


Ok out of the blue one day my air just stopped working!!! (the fan will not turn on!!) When I am driving down the road whatever temp the setting is turned to (ie hot or cold) that air will come out but it will be just a little bit... The fan will not actually turn on and force air out!
I was told it sounded like the controls had went bad so I got a new heat and air control unit and installed it today and it still does not work!! Has anyone else had this issue?? It never once gave any signs that it was going bad... It has always worked great!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Should have started with fuse first then the blower fan resistor. Check those. Air will always come out a little bit, thats not forced in from the blower anyway.

Thumbs up Resistor it is!

I did the same on my 03 Durango then read a thread here, took the 10 minutes to change the $12 part and all is good! This site rocks, saved me lots of money and trips to the mechanic!
