2004 Dodge Durango blower fan does not work

This weekend, the blower fan quit working on my 2004 Dodge Durango. The cold air comes out of the vents, but you can not control the volume of air. I checked all the mini fuses in all 3 fuse boxes and all of them were fine. It seems that there is very little available information as to what fuse goes to what. The diagrams on the fuse blocks and the owners manual is not helpful at all. Is the blower fan a fuse problem or is it one of the electrical problems that will need assistance from the Dodge service man? Does anyone publish a more detailed diagram for what fuse runs each circuit?

If your blower only worked on high before it quit, or didnt work on high before it quit,

You probably have a faulty blower motor resistor assembly. The part number is 04885635ab If you look on the bottom of the motor housing on the passenger side (about where the passenger toes would point) you will see a wire harness that is a long oval in shape and has 5 or 6 wires in it. You will need a 7 or 8mm 1/4 inch drive socket with a u-joint attachment. on the firewall side of the connector, there is a sliding lock that keeps the connector on the plug. you will have to slide the lock toward the drivers side and the squeeze a small blak tab to pull the connector off of the plug. Once the connector is off, use the socket to remove the 2 screws. It will drop right down once the screws are removed. Once it is removed, it looks like a 2 inch by 3 inch by 16th of an inch thick piece of metal with a plug on it. The resistor pack dissipates ALOT of heat so do not take it out until the truck has been off for 30 minutes or so. I priced the part at a dealership for $12.77

If you reach under de dash board passager side locate the blower fan plug... unplug it. with a volt meter check for voltage. get help to switch the fan speeds. if no voltage present you may have a burned switch or a fuse.if you get a good 12 volts. your blower fan is a core you need to get a new one at your nearest auto parts. your blower fuse you should be able to locate it inside the vehicle fuse panel not at the engine fuse panel.....

blower weak even any car made. answers.
a flow issue not a cold or hot problem , JUST AIR FLOW.

2003 Dodge Dakota is stuck on defrost, only blowing hot air. A/C will not turn in, mirror defrost will not turn on. Just replaced blower motor resistor to fix fan not coming on. Fan is working.

Can you measure and VOLTAGE across the resistor?

Here is a GREAT Link (in my estimation):

Yes it's for a DURANGO but the process may help you!

Joe, have you seen THIS link?

And THIS YOUTUBE?

Also there is this possibility:

Dodge caravan heat fan won't work

If it is the fan/blower that is not working (as opposed to what is coming out is cold), then the problem could be 1) fuse 2) Blower Resistor. I just replaced the blower resistor in about 15 min with a $25 replacement resistor. The unit is right behind the glove box.

If the problem is that the air coming out is cold and not hot, then the thermostat, radiator, heater core, etc... are the more likley causes.

The knob that controls the fan, for temperature control is not working. The knob turns but no fan comes on. What could it be?

I just had this issue myself. After looking on the web, I found out that it was the blower motor resistor. It's on the passenger side, over where your left foot would be when sitting. This part is a dealer part. I paid $10 plus tax. Glad I looked - my husband was going to buy the blower motor which would've been about $80! Now that works, but, alas, I only have cold air blowing through the vents!! This is easy to fix yourself. Hope it helps!!

A/C fan not working in my 2001 Stratus

Yes it could be ether or, check the relay, the resistor and the blower. try using a tester to check the wires to the blower motor and see if you get any power. Electical is very difficult to figure out some times.
