It's been a while, and I come back bearing a gift...

I finally got around to replacing the faulty resistor board in my Dak... it's nice to have the low setting on my HVAC again! While I was doing it, I took pics so I could write up a how-to. I know I had a little bit of an issue getting the pn for this... so I wanted to put all that info into one spot.

So without further ado... here it is!

The Dak is coming off daily driver duty in a few months... so stay tuned for the mods!

 

Good write up. I noticed that the parts looked identical to the ones that I had (New and old) and when I did the install, I noticed the design change. Wonder if they actually found out why they kept failing and made the change. and just wonder what did you pay for the part? I think mine was like 60 bucks, and the parts guy was a dick. It wasn't the normal dealer that I would go to, nor would go to again.

 

Oh man... I paid $8.73 (the website says the MSRP is $11.85). I ordered a few things (u-joints, a mug, center caps) and the shipping was $12 for 2nd day air. Moparpartsamerica.com was awesome. They sent me an email when a price changed on the center caps (went down!) and everything was packed well. Their website made it very easy to peruse the Mopar catalog to find what you need as well.

 

you got raped! did ya get a fan too!@

 

Thanks gutted. Awesome job giving back to the site. I need to change mine. Also thanks for the moparparts site. Pretty cool.

 

I was very happy with the service of that website. The catalog is so easy to look through, and if you give them your VIN when you order they guarantee that the parts you order will work.

I have so many more article written for my old site that have no yet been re-written for my site's second coming. And as I said, once my Dak is not my dd, I'm going to start modding it so there'll be plenty more write ups!

 

Wow I really feel vialated now!! I'm at work now but when I get home I'm gonna check my records to be sure. NO no fan, just the blower motor resistor. The worst part is after that they never even bought me dinner!

 

Greatwalkthrough, exactly why this site is such a great resource. Thanks for taking the time to put that all online gutted it saved me some time and money.

 

Thanks gutted,
Would anyone happen to know if Mopar offers a replacement plug that connects to the resistor. I have found the complete harness, but I just need the plug as one of the pins has shorted and my blower will not run at any speed (unless I jiggle the connector and get lucky)
Thanks,
TimM

 

Just recieved the replacment resistor and the wiring kit for the blower resistor.
No instructions just a kit which includes:
1 - replacemnet plug
2 - plastic doo dads (short for I have no idea what these are for)
5 - 2.5" pieces odf shrink tube
5 - small crimp connectors
5 - medium crimp connectors
5 - large crimp connectors
5 - green leads with tin plated terminals
5 - green leads with gold terminals
5 - violet leads with tin plated terminals
5 - violet leads with gold terminals

Any help or suggestions with replacing the plug wil be appreciated.

Replacing the resistor is a no brainer, but this kit has me scratching my head.

Thanks in advance,
