is the 1999 dakota blower fan resistor in the cab behind the glovebox similar to the 2001 model or is it somewhere in the engine bay? thanx in advance.

 

the blower motor resistor is mounted to the HVAC unit inside the passenger compartment. It can be accessed from the passenger foot well area.

Here are the steps to remove and install it. I got it out of a 01 Manual. I would suggest going down to a auto parts store and pick up a Haynes manual for the Dakotas/Durangos, its very helpful and lots of pics and info.


REMOVAL - BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) From the passenger foot well area, remove the
two hex screws used to secure the blower motor
resistor.
(3) Unplug the front blower motor resistor from
the wire harness connector.
(4) Pull the front blower motor resistor and its
wire harness out of the plenum panel and through
the cowl plenum access hole far enough to access the
wire harness connector.
(5) Remove the front blower motor resistor from
the cowl plenum.


INSTALLATION
(1) Plug the blower motor resistor into the wire
harness connector.
(2) Install the blower motor resistor to the cowl
plenum panel by feeding the resistor and wire harness
back through the cowl plenum access hole.
(3) Install and tighten the two screws that secure
the resistor to the HVAC unit. Tighten the screws to
2.2 N·m (20 in. lbs.).
(4) Connect the battery negative cable.
