how do I locate the blower motor resister for a 1999 dodge caravan?

Question

the heater only works on high speed

Answer 1

the blower motor receives a battery feed from the relay. the switch on the dash sends ground to the resistor on a different wire for every blower motor speed. high speed does not run through the resistor. all other speeds send the groung through a metal coil that resembles a toaster coil. this is what steps down the speed. when the blower motor only works on high, 98% of the time the resistor is bad. it will not be the blower motor. the resistor is right above the right strut tower, it snaps into the firewall. you will see the connector. it is hard to get the connector off, and it is a pain to get the resistor to snap out, just pull. many times the wiring going into teh resistor is melted and you have to replace teh connector too. the resistor and connector are available at your dealer, they are not ecpensive.

Answer 2

Check under dash right side by blower motor 4/5 wire plug could be facing down or you may have to take out glove box. there also may be a red lock on release for the plug

Answer 3

first i would try an auto parts store.
if that fails a salvage yard.
as a last resort the dealership for they would probably be
most expensive.
you can save time by calling, using the phone instead
of driving around.
phone book should list plenty of all of the three type of
places. saqlvage yard the cheapest.t
and may have a short warranty. good luck.

Answer 4

open hood ...it;s at passenger side above the strut tower you will need a wiring and resistor package to repair.
