Google for Refurbished PCM "brain" and call the site from Florida. My Durango kept stalling wihtout warning and I replaced the PCM for < $300.00 and no problems since.

Hi, Your blower speed is controled by the selection switch on the a/c control head from there it is sent to the BLOWER RESISTOR. This is where your problem is, below is a picture of location, unplug pigtail connector and remove two screws, slide resistor out, replace with new part and reverse procedure.
Most auto parts stores carry this item in stock order by year make and model and by location (Front Blower Resistor, you vehicle has two, one front and one rear)
