Your problem is that the variable resistor needs to be replaced. It is behind the glove box and costs around $20 from the dealer. It is an easy do it yourself job. You might want to do a search on this forum as this has come up very frequently in the past.

The resistor is the most likely (and cheapest/easiest) cause. By your user name I'm assuming you're in Pittsburgh (I am as well). I picked up a new resistor at West Liberty Dodge for around $13. It's a newer and better designed unit and takes about 5 minutes to replace. It's located under the glove box. 2 screws, 5 minutes, and $13 bucks. It's worth a shot.

Thanks for all your help. I grew up there moved away in 1985. Live in MD now. Went to dealer on the way home from work pick up the part for $21.00 and works great now. Thanks again for all your help.

First time user. When the heater or A/C is on and blowing, it only comes through at the windshield, no matter what button I push. I was able to go under the dash and find a box that when I put my hand inside and pushed on a door to open, then the air come through the cab. When I released the door it shut and the air went back to the windshield. Thanks for any help.

That is the blend door, and yours is malfunctioning. Dodge dealers are used to this repair.

Thanks for the info. I went there before I posted this message and he told me that the heater box needed to replace. I couldn't find anything about a heater box so I tried Edmunds. Thanks again.

A/C compresser switch. by cpklutz

How difficult is the switch on the compresser to replace? I have done everything else I can think of on my '92 4x4 3.9l, but cannot get the unit to run consistently.
Everything includes: Retrofit (r134),low pressure switch, O rings, and curcuit breaker.

Try replacing the AC clutch relay located in your fuse panel on the driver's side fender well on top. Spent hundreds with lame dealers and fixed my air for about $10 with a plug in part. Good luck!!

My A/C problem turned out to be the clutch relay in the fuse box. $10 and presto. Full time air. Hope this helps!

My A/C is now full time, but will shift from the dash vents to the floor vents when under acceleration. I know I've seen something on here about that before, but I can't seem to find it now. Anybody know why it does that? THANKS!!
