The same thing happen to me with myh 1993 Dodge Dakota truck. It turned out to be blower motor resister, costing $12.oo, plus half hour labor.

I believe he said the blower would not work on any speed. Usually when the resistor goes out the fan will still run on high. If the fan will not run on any speed and the fuse is good I would check the fan switch first.

Terry, that's true unless the resistor got too hot and melted the plastic around the electrical connector body. Sometimes the melted plastic fills the terminal cavity in the connector. After it cools and the plastic has hardened, there is no longer a connection.

Yes, I agree. And if that is the case you probably can't get the connector off of the resistor and you will have to buy a new connector with wires and splice it in.

2001 Dakota noise problem in cold weather. by mogtel

During the last cold snap, (15 degrees and below), at 1800 rpm and about 60 mph, I got an engine noise that sounded like a ringing or whizzing sound. My first thought was that it could be a bearing in the A/C compressor or idler pulley, or anternator. Can't hear it sitting still or revving the engine. I had "Chassis Ear" the I used to no avail. I've talked with other owners who have the same noise who indicate that the noise goes away in warmer weather. Any ideas out there. Thanks in advance. Charlie

I 'm glad I steered you in the right direction and that you found the problem.

I have had occasion when my POWER STEERING PUMP would make a gear-meshing sound in colder weather. It turnd out that the fluid-level was a tad low and the pump would occasionaly suck air and make the noise.
 
Not sure if this is what you are hearing or not...

Just a thought, but you may have a loose exhaust system. Check the condition of the exhaust system clamps. In the Northeast, they have a tendency to rust away after a while and loosen up. Although this usually causes rattling noisdes over bumps and stuff, on mine I would occasionally hear a sound that I would label as "ringing."
 
I've gotta say, the clamp Dodge uses is pretty robust. In fact, I was never able to find an aftermarket replacement that was anywhere near the size and heft of the original. The ones that AutoZone carry are way too whimpy.
 
Best regards,
Dusty
