Default 2003 Air out of Ac Vents Uneven

Yesterday i attempted to solve some minor A/C issues in my 2003 dodge Dakota Quadcab SLT 4.7 l V8. My Dodge Dakota ac works great always very cold but water is leaking into my cabin from the drain line and the air only blows out of the center vents strong, outside vents by the doors are weak.

I first Created a gasket around drain line to stop water from getting in then i just replaced the ac blower resistor to fix the air flow problem but the air still blows out uneven. The center vents by the radio controls are strong and cold but the outside vents by the door have almost no air blowing out.

Any Thoughts?

Welcome to the forum Zwadsor.

The blower motor resistor would be an "all or nothing" fix on the airflow. It doesn't change the flow out of any of individual vents, it would be all of them.

More likely, some of the gaskets and seals are dried up and leaking in the airbox or plenum. Air isn't being delivered to where you want it because of that. It happens with time. To repair you'd have to pull the plenum.

98DakAz has a bunch of information on A/C repairs if you search on it.
