Replying to: sh00tr (Mar 02, 2008 2:24 pm) So you're fixed then...excellent... These are a really common failure...mine looked scorched when I replaced it...looked a lot like yours - its the peril of mounting the part so closed to the blower where all sorts of dust & what have you is kicking around (moisture, heat, etc) Looking at the wiring diagram and your pictures tells me a couple of things -there is 12v power to the blower resistor at all times, ignition on or off -the #5 position is wired directly to the blower relay, so when you choose # 5, its basically a straight shot of juice right to the blower motor ... if that relay fails closed ( like yours) that would explain only full blast, (the relay is on the resistor part) No matter what you set the switch at, if the relay fails closed, you're getting full blast all the time... Mine looked very much like yours, although yours does look a little worse...I don't think its a water issue although you still may want to hunt down the source of the leak... Post any time...I'm always cruising around here & willing to help

My heat started acting up last winter. I would start the car and start the defrost in the morning. When I came back out a long period later, the cabin would still be cold and no defrosting occurred. When I drove the car to work the heat began to warm up and get to a comfortable level. I also started to notice the temperature guage rising above normal when I went on long trips (over an hour). Before it got too cold I flushed the radiator to see if this was the problem, but did not fix it. Summer has come and now the A/C does not work. Attempted to recharge the A/C since it had been 4+ years since we bought the vehicle. This did not work. I get warm air from the vents. When I turn on the A/C I get a noise that I assume is the compressor kicking on, so it appears that it is working. I have not taken a PSI check on the system yet though, but if the pressure is NOT correct I assumed the compressor would not come on?!?! Since they are faults that occur seasons apart, I did not make the connection until now. Is it possible they are related problems... Would a vacuum hose leak or disconnect cause both of these probblems? If so, where is it and how do I T/S it. If not... What are some recommendations for T/S or rectifying these problems? Thanks in advance for any assistance. |

I have a 2002 Venture LS that has developed a problem where condensation somehow leaks into the cabin onto the driver's floorboard. After I've been driving with the AC on for a while and then I get out of the car, when I come back the carpet on the driver's side is wet and the ground directly under the driver's side is wet also. Can someone tell me what is going on here?

Replying to: cabbbailey (Aug 16, 2008 6:26 pm) Preventitive maintenance, like frequently blowing out your inside air filters, could have prevented this. This is commonly overlooked. When I purchased my van at 70,000 miles and checked those filters, they were plugged and had 6" of pine needles stacked on top of them.
