Just thought I would ask the question where is the resistor located on the 2003 dodge dakota for the blower motor, aren't they usually located near the motor itself???............Lorne

Were you able to find where the mode door actuator was? I am having a similar issue with my 98 Dakota. Read some threads saying the heater core was clogged but I get hot air out the defrost but no matter where I turn the knob, it only blows out the defrost.

I believe the resistor should be right by the blower motor.

Blower resistor on ALL cars is mounted in the air-plenum. Since the resistors run close to red-hot while in operation, they need the airfow of the fan to keep them cooled down.

Blower Motor 2002 Datkota by carlking2

I have like most had trouble with the Fan speed resistor on my dakota having had it replaced twice. Several months ago the blower motor began to intermitienly quit running. NO it is not stuck on high speed so I tend to rule out the resistor. It would work sometimes and then quit to begin blowing just driving down the road. My question is do you think it may be the blower motor or the harness?

You asked --> My question is do you think it may be the blower motor or the harness?
 
Without actually using a DVM (Digital Volt Meter) to take measurements, the answer to your question is "perhaps".
 
It could be the motor, harness, resistor or a mouse stuck in the fanblades (Yes, I have seen it happen!).... Without actually troubleshooting the problem, it could be anything.

I need to replace the heater resistor in my 2001 Dakota. Is it hard to get at? Please advise on how to procede.

Hi
I had mine replaced at a local garage for $47.00. One half hour labor and a $12.00 part (resistor) and I have a 1993 Dodge Dakota. It's worth not having this probleml the middle of winter.

R134A - where to check pressure & add ?? by tommy97
Feb 15, 2009 (9:42 am)
Reply
I have a '97 V6 3.9L (2WD).
 
I need to check the pressure and possibly add. I understand this is to be done w/ engine running and AC set to MAX. I also understand that this is to be done on the low pressure (liquid?) side.
 
I found 2 ports w/ black plastic cap:
  • one near the compressor itself
  • one directly above the inlet tube leading to the air filter
     
    Which one is the port I need to use (or are they essentially on the same circuit) ?
     
    I understand that the capacity for R134A on this model is 32oz.
     
    Any help is appreciated.

    The high pressure fitting is on the small diameter pipe and the low pressure fitting is on the larger diameter pipe. This is true for most all vehicles. However if you get a guage and hose for putting freon in, the fitting should only fit the low pressure fitting. You always put freon into the low pressure side unless you want to blow up the can. YIPES!!
     
    The cheap fill kits at the auto store have the right fitting and the guage gives you the pressure range on the guage,
     
    If the freon will not go in or is going in very slow you can put the can in a pan of hot water to raise the pressure in the can and make the freon go in faster. Turn the valve off so the guage will show the pressure in the systen instead of the pressure in the can. And yes have the truck running with the AC & fan set on high/max.
