Had truck in dealership for a 15 year inspection, passed that but had blower problem, high speed only works and check engine light for evac leak , dealer said they won’t cover either because the blower resistor , was a aftermarket one , and evac had corrosion on it , I was a little puzzled cause I haven’t had that blower problem before !! So they are fixing evac leak , and I am fixing blower resistor ; I'm happy that it passed inspection was worried about rust on the truck & frame here in Ohio ,I never changed that resistor, how much would you argue over this ?? Or just changed it yourself ? Thanks joe. 09 with 145,000

 

Owned the truck since new? Ever had anyone aside from the dealer work on it? Particularly for the blower problem?? DID the dealer work on the blower problem previously??????

 

bought the truck new, Dealer worked on ac 2-3 times , this is the 1st time blower has done this in this truck ,one other place worked on a wheel when dealer couldn’t get me in for 2 weeks and we are going to Baltimore for baseball that weekend , and they worked on a wheel. Thanks for the reply

 

Real curious how an aftermarket resistor block got in there then...... Did you inspect the old part?

 

Yes , it looked like the one I put in from oreiley’s for 53.00 made in china , dealer want 253.00 since it wasn’t a factory one

 

I would file a complaint with Stellantis or whatever they are calling themselves these days. If for no other reason than to prevent the dealer from gouging you for money as opposed to getting the contracted rate from Stellantis next time.
I assume you have a Lifetime Maximum Care Wrap warranty since the Lifetime Powertrain wouldn't cover the blower resistor anyway. Why would you replace a part that was under warranty?
AND i would find a new dealer...
