Default no blower motor, powerpoint, or door locks?

Well it started snowing here pretty heavy in the last few hours. I went outside to start my durango and the doors wouldn't unlock with the key fob. I opened the door with my key and started the truck and noticed my blower wasn't blowing. Then I realized my car charger for cell phone wasn't working either. So I figured is check some fuses so I opened my glove box to get my needle nose pliers and shut the glove box. When I shut the glove box I kinda shut it hard but all the sudden my blower motor started working, car charger popped on and started charging my phone. So I tried the door locks and what ya know they worked! Now I noticed the other day my positive battery terminal was nasty lookin could that be it? I plan on replacing it tomorrow and gettin the battery tested. Just wondering if there was anything else I should look for? All fuses were good BTW

Loose connection somewhere or your battery could clean that up first. Also with the blower it could be the resistor. When its failing its common that itll work again for a few mins when you wiggle it around.

sounds like a loose ground to me if closing the glove box hard got it working, download the FSM for your year range and look for a ground in the area of the glove box.

FSM is linked in the FAQ thread stuck to the top of the 1st generation section (actually the whole folder of durango pdfs is linked, pick and choose what you like)
