I have a 2000, and the AC fan stopped working anybody know what I can do? I looked for the fuse or relay to change but can't find it.

 

It seems my problem might be the ac blower resistor or switch resistor. Can anybody help me and tell me where these are located on my car so I can switch them?
It's a 2000 Stratus.

 

I kinda have the same problem... First it was the blue or green wire, I could wiggle it and there it was.. But, now no heat.. just A/C but only through the defrost. I have another control unit.. the dash control, if you need it $5.00 plus shipping its yours, But, I took the entire bottom of the dash out to try to manually switch the control. I can not figure it out!

The blower resistor is under the heat/ac housing under the dash on the passanger side. It is right by the blower motor. There is a cover that is held on with a 5/8" hex nut that you will have to remove to get to the resistor and fan. The resistors usually burn out because of the blower motor going bad. Before you replace the resistor, remove the blower motor (3 - 5/16" hex screws and 1 electrical connection) and turn the fan assembly to see if it's rough or hard to turn. You will find a lot of carbon on and in the motor from the brushes. If the brushes are still ok, use electronic cleaner to remove all the carbon. If the blower motor doesn't turn easier, then it will have to be replaced. If you only replace the resistors and the blower motor is bad, you will be buying another blower resistor.

 

I have been fighting my AC issue since last summer and like many of the posts, it would work on defrost with the temp selector set to cool but would not engage the compressor on normal AC settings. I tracked the problem down to the female connector on the circuit board of the selector switch. I resoldered the 8 pins on the board and now my AC works as it should. I should have known to look closely at the switch since it was made by Lucas. My advice, avoid Lucas wiring and electrical parts like the plague!

 

Replace your blower motor resistor. It costs about $30, easy fix.

 

Replace the blower motor resistor. $30 fix.

 

I have a 2001 Se Stratus. I had the AC recharged and it works fine. However, it only works if you put a metal pin where the fuse goes. If you replace the fuse, it stops blowing cold air, just warm...anyone know what is going on? An electrical short or what? email me please

Throw in my two cents... my 2000 had intermittent a/c; hard to diagnose.

Saw online something about the soldered joints on the dash board that has the switch. It's minimal disassembly to get to it. With a magnifying glass, saw a questionable connection on pin 1 of 6. Resoldered it, and for good measure the other pins, and have had consistent AC.

But now the rear defrost button on the same board doesn't work, so if you go this route do so with care.
