On my 2001 T & C, it did turn out to be the Resistor pack, 5179985AA. Cost about $60. The pack is about 1.5"x 2.5" in diamter and is screwed into the firewall directly behind the glove box. You have to press on the glove box hinges and lower the box down to see the resistor. Just unhook it and uncrew it and install the new. Should take care of the problem.

I went to the dealer to pick up 5179985AA. I then went home to look in the T&C EX to see if it would fit. It would not.
 
The part in my van did not have the same pin connectors. One of the two connectors (the larger of the two) in my van had 6 male tabs, mounted in the same fashion as the smaller of the two connectors - which had two metal male tabs. The part number for the one in my 2002 T&C EX (3.8L) is 04885583(or 5)AA.
 
Was I looking at the wrong part in my van? There were no other connectors in my van that I saw that would come close to fitting.
 
My connector in my van looked like this (the equal sign represents two horizontal metal tabs):
 
| = | = = = |
 
The one I bought (5179985AA) looked like this (the "I"'s represent vertical metal tabs):
 
| II | III |
 
Does my 2002 T&C EX use a totally different part number?
 
Thanks.

Rear Vent Air Not As Cold As Front Air by gabhanjacisa

Would there be any reason why the front vents blow cold a/c air, but the rear vents for the second and third rows don't blow air as cold?

Is this a new development, or has it always done this? If there is just ducting coming from the front of the van, the air will warm within them as it travels. Many vehicles with large air spaces have secondary compressors in the rear of the vehicle to keep this from happening, I just do not know if your van is one of them.

I usually don't sit in the back, so...My wife informs me that it has always been like this, to some degree or another, and that I now suspect the air warms as it travels. There is no compressor in the back of the van.

Thanks for the advice as my 2002 T&C Limited with automatic temperature control is experiencing the same blower malfunction. I went to the dealer this morning and learned that the part number for my vehicle is 4885482AC, costing $63.35, but the part is back ordered and only 3 or 4 dealers in the US have it in stock as of now. As always when buying electrical parts it is important to know your vehicle's VIN when ordering a part otherwise you might buy the wrong part and find out that it might not be returnable.

Update - 4885482AC is the old part number. Another dealership gave me the right information and the part, which fixed the problem.

Front Fan not working by wdw66
Aug 30, 2007 (5:23 am)

On my 99 Town & Country the front driver and passenger fan has stopped working. (It will occassionally work for a few minutes then stop working again). The air is stil cold. If I have the vent on outside air we can feel the cold air being forced through by the outside air.
The rear air fan is working fine. Any ideas before I contact the dealer. Thanks

I have the same problem on my 2001 T&C and they gave me the 4885482AC part number which has been on national back order for 2 and half weeks. Do you have the part number the other dealership gave you?

the FET part number is: 75343p
 
I got one from www.mouser.com (part# 511-STP85NF55). Works great!
 
$1.79 plus shipping. Good luck.
