Blower Motor Switch: Front
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Dodge Pickup, 1999 Dodge Durango, 1999 Dodge Dakota, and 1999 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using a voltmeter, check underhood power distribution center for battery voltage at fuse No. 5 (40-amp) on Dakota and Durango, or fuse No. 5 (40-amp) on Ram Pickup. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check for open in Red wire between battery and underhood power distribution center. If Red wire is okay, replace underhood power distribution center.
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove A/C-heater control panel. See A/C-HEATER CONTROL PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect A/C-heater control panel harness connector. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between A/C-heater control panel harness connector terminal No. 7 (Black wire on Dakota and Durango; Black/Orange on Ram Pickup) and ground. If continuity exists, go to step 4.
- If continuity does not exist, repair open in Black or Black/Orange wire between A/C-heater control panel harness connector terminal No. 7 and ground connector located at lower right corner of instrument panel (Dakota and Durango) or behind center of instrument panel (Ram Pickup).
- Place mode control knob to any position except OFF. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between A/C-heater control panel connector terminal No. 7 and terminals No. 3, 4, 5, and 6 while rotating blower motor switch. See Fig 1.
- If continuity does not exist at any terminal, replace faulty A/C-heater control panel. If continuity exists as specified, check for open in circuits between A/C-heater control panel and blower motor resistor. Also check for an open in circuit between A/C-heater control panel and blower motor.
