03 Dakota A/C & Heat issues no fan!
Hello
For a while now the AC and Heat worked fine unless I put the fan speed on high then there was nothing coming out at all. I just dealt with this issue as it wasn't an annoyance to just leave set it at whatever speed. This was fixed previously as well and worked for a while then stopped again.
This morning I got in and put on the defrost, now there is no air coming out at any speed or setting (defrost top vent low vent a/c etc)heat or AC. I am gathering that It may be the resistor but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts before I go screwing around with stuff. Also anyone know of a site with pictures or a video how to fix the part if that is what it is.
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Sorry.. It happened 2 times, I replaced something at the auto shop once on it. But the fan worked fine on all speeds then one day it stopped working in high it would just shut off all other speeds it was fine. I just dealt with it then figured while other work was getting done id have it fixed worked fine in high and all other speeds then one day high didn't work but all other speeds did. Now as of this morning none of the speeds work.

I think you should probably replace both the Fan motor and the resistor. As far as "how to" instructions. See if this site has a video for you to view. I've used this website for some replacement parts in the past. Great site

They have a library of "How To' Videos you can browse through. Not sure if they'll have what you're looking for.
Give it a shot!!

Thanks for the insight everyone, now this has taken a weird turn. starting on the way home last night the fan began working again (still every setting except high). But it will go for a few minutes then sort of stall 2 seconds later start back up again. This happened both while I was stopped completely and while moving so I don't believe it has to do with movement.
This morning same story started up, no air about 10 minutes after driving the air started up again and would go in and out working for about 5 min or so stall for about 2 seconds then go again for about 5 min.
Another thing the time difference between this issue starting and the prior issue (all fan setting except high was a good 10 months or so.
Does this new information assist anyone in making a different diagnosis. I just don't want to replace something that may not need replacing.
