First of all you should try to post clearer. It makes it very hard to read and understand.

Not sure if the fan is working and not blowing out of the vents, or if the fan is not working?

ok, at first it would sometimes not come on at all, than it went to speeds slowing way down and than it would speed up to normal, now its blowing very lil air when on "vent" when i select any actual "ac" setting it stops. so blower is spinning but very very slow. safe to assume its the resistor?

my other question is where is the resistor on a 2000 durango. i can find it when i removed the glovebox where ive read its suppose to be.

It is under the passenger side cowl cover (plastic piece under the windshield wipers) and you access the resistor there.

First you have to remove the Neg batery cable!

Next remove the wipers. Now these photos I got from a Jeep site so bolts and placing of screws could be different and most likely are. The hardest part I think is removing the wiper arms.



Then you have to remove the cowl cover:



Remove the resistor:

Who knows when your not using the same resistors to start with. It sure sounds like that could be the problem?
