Angry 2010 Dodge Avenger SXT blower problem

So I just got a 2010 Dodge Avenger SXT, 32k miles.

I am not sure if I just didnt notice it before or if its a brand new problem, but the AC only works when the blower is on high, anything below high and it does not blow anything. I've heard of this before as a big problem for Dodge, but never on an Avenger, or this far away from 100k mi.

Anyone else heard of this or know what it could be? Hoping for a cheap fix because I literally just bought it.

Blower resistor is bad, it is behind the glove box next to the blower motor, takes u 10 minute to change. it is a relatively cheap eletronic problem everyone has.
You still have waranty, take it in!

Yeah I called a local Dodge dealer and they said bring it in its under warranty. They are looking at my baby now.

Side note, I cranked my music up on the way to the dealership, hadn't noticed it before but one of the front speakers was blown, I am amazed that they said the speakers were covered under the warranty also and they would replace that to. Glad I noticed these things today because I am going on a 20 hour round trip, trip to Michigan tomorrow morning, and that is going to take me just over the 35k mark.

I am having issues with finding the blower motor resister on my 2010 avenger. I have looked on the fire wall and behind the glove box. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's under a silencer panel underneath the glove box. A couple push pins hold it on, then you'll see this>>>>

Default Blower Motor runs on all settings except high.

I replaced the Blower Motor Resistor. Unfortunately my blower still doesn't work correctly. It works on every setting except the highest one.

Pop off the HVAC control head, unplug the fan switch connector and look for signs of overheating. You will look for melted plastic inside the connector and the control unit. I do tons of these. They should actually be recalled IMO




Pull from the bottom with both hands, then work the top of it out gently. (that's what I told her)

The temperature control with all the ***** on it. For the AC and heat.
