My heater/AC only work at level 4, how do I get the lower levels to work again?

The heater and AC both work, but only if the dial is set to 4. At 1, 2, or 3, it won't turn on at all. What do i need to do to fix this problem?

Sounds like you need a new blower resistor, its under the dash on pass. side. if it goes bad your blower will only work on high. its fairly easy to change

SOURCE: 2004 dodge stratus heater/ac issues

I had the same problem with my '97 Stratus. There is a large resistor in the fan motor circuit that has died and needs to be replaced. It's well up under the dash, behind the glove box if I recall correctly, so unless you are a contortionist and have the tools, have a shop replace it.

You need to replace the blower speed module.

I'm assuming you mean the fan only works on high. If that's the case the blower motor resistor is bad. When the fan switch is on high it puts a full 12Volts to the blower motor. When you have the switch in any other possition, the voltage is routed through the resistor and reduced thus making the motor run slower.

Check the radiator to make sure that the coolant level in the radiator itself is not lower than the level of the heater pipes.
Look to see if their is any heat going through the heater pipes. The radiator or the the heating system could be having problems and it should be looked at by a mechanic.

2005 Honda Pilot. Temp guage goes up but then comes back down to half when the a/c or defrost is on. If sitting in traffic is still goes up until moving again.

There are several possible problems causing the temp increase.
  1. Low coolant level
  2. Leak in radiator hose
  3. Leak in radiator
  4. Bad waterpump
With low coolant levels by any 1 or a combination of 1-4, the vehicle will run hot at low speeds and at idle. Running the AC or heater pushes the remaining coolant through the system faster, aiding in cooling the engine but all indications are you've definitely have a cooling system issue that should be looked at immediately before doing damage. If the coolant level is good (when car is cold, open radiator cap and check for coolant level), the issue most likely lies in the waterpump.

This is definitely 100% the Blower Motor Resistor.
Replace this and all speeds will work fine.
This Resistor is defined with 3 to 4 wires going into it, and is located adjacent to the Blower Motor.
It is easily access, removed and replaced.
I will post an additional comment on Part Number, Price and where available.
Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!

Blower for ac/heat only work on lower 3 levels.

Check the blower motor resitor. Use a 12v test light at the switch and notice the bulb brightness change as you switch settings.. Probably have a bad blower resiter.
