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?

Replying to: carlking2 (Jan 25, 2009 9:56 am) 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.

Replying to: pfunk2 (Jan 27, 2009 4:31 pm) 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. |

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: 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. |

Replying to: tommy97 (Feb 15, 2009 9:42 am) 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.

Replying to: terrys2 (Feb 15, 2009 10:24 am) Everything you said is pretty much what I know. The reason I described the ports and their location is because I'm seeing a bit of paradox here: You wrote: "the fitting should only fit the low pressure fitting" I just checked (as a "dry run") and noted that the fitting only fit on one of the 2 ports, as you said. But guess what? It was the one "directly above the inlet tube leading to the air filter" and that tube happens to be the smaller one! This being the case, one would think this is on the high-pressure side, which in not where one would typically add refrigerant. In terms of my location descriptions, can you (or anyone) confirm which port is "the one": * one near the compressor itself * one directly above the inlet tube leading to the air filter You'd pretty much have to know the '97 Dakota (or be able to look under the hood). I did, btw, confirm that the total charge is 32oz (2lb).
