Just found this Great site!! I have discovered a lot of good info on here. I have a 2006 durango with the hemi and all wheel drive. Less that 45000 miles. On a trip to New orleans the other day, about 1.5 hours into the trip, the ac seemed to stop blowing. Arrived in new orleans and left the next day. Since then, the ac has worked fine. I am concerned because I am planning a trip to key west this august and I dont like being hot.
Also, the navigation system will often show me in another state. It worked great on the trip to New orleans but two days later while in mobile al. it showed me in hattisburg ms. and I have never been there before. I do plan to take it to the dealer next month to be checked out. Any advice is appreciated. Ken

 

The blend door may have malfunctioned for the air conditioner. I am not sure about the navigation system bug,

SUBJECT:
No A/C Or Evaporator Freeze Up On Long Trips With Blower In Low Speed Position
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves adding a resistor 470 ohm resistor in the evaporator temperature
sensor signal circuit.
MODELS:
2004 - 2009 (HB) Durango
2007 - 2009 (HG) Aspen
NOTE: This bulletin applies to all HB/HG vehicles with A/C (sales code HAA or HAB
or HAF). This bulletin does not cover the 2009 HG HEV vehicle.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customers may experience poor A/C, little to no A/C operation or reduced airflow from
the instrument panel vents. This condition often occurs after a extended drive cycle
(greater that 2 hours) with the A/C on and the blower speed is set to the low position. Once
the vehicle is shut off or the A/C is turned off for approximately 2 hours the A/C will operate
normally.
Adding the resistor to the evaporator temperature sensor signal wire allows the A/C
Compressor to cycle at a higher temperature more frequently to avoid this condition.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH™ or StarSCAN®) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures
available in TechCONNECT, verify all A/C systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's
are present record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding
further with this bulletin.
If the above condition is present, perform the Repair Procedure.
NUMBER: 24-004-10
GROUP: Heating & Air
Conditioning
DATE: April 7, 2010
PARTS REQUIRED:
Qty. Part No. Description
1 68081530AA Kit, Resistor
Kit includes; 1 470 ohm resistor, 2 wire shrink wraps and
2 splice crimps.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Remove and disconnect the ATC or MTC control head. Follow the detailed service
procedures available in DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT, Refer To Group 24 -
Heating & Air Conditioning > Controls, Front> Controls, A/C & Heater Removal
Procedures.
2. Using the wiring diagrams available in DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT locate the
evaporator temperature sensor signal wire. Cavity 10 of the C2 black 12 - way
connector for ATC systems. Cavity 2 of 20 - way black C1 connector for MTC systems.
3. Measure 76mm (3 inches) down from end of ATC/MTC connector and cut the
evaporator temperature sensor signal wire.
4. Using the 2 splice crimps and 2 wire shrink wraps from resistor kit p/n 68064996AA,
splice in the 470 ohm resistor. Follow the detailed wiring procedures available in
DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT, Refer To the Wiring Tab > 8W-01 - Wiring
Diagram Information > Wire > Standard Procedure.
NOTE: Be sure to use the splice crimps and shrink wrap on wires and resistor.
5. Install the ATC or MTC control head. Follow the detailed service procedures available
in DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT, Refer To Group 24 - Heating & Air Conditioning
> Controls, Front> Controls, A/C & Heater Installation Procedures.
6. Using the wiTECH™ or StarSCAN® erase all DTC.
This is a TSB for the a/c, nothing for the nav unit. Ck with the dealer, you need to buy the update nav disc.

 

Wow! Thanks for the great reply. I assume that the dodge dealer knows about this and can make that repair for me?? Sounds like it should have been recalled for that problem. Ken
