The blower motor resistor on my 2006 Dodge Stratus went out a few months ago. Until recently the blower still worked but only on setting 4 but a couple weeks ago it started only coming on the first time I start my car after it's been sitting for a while (i.e. overnight or while at work). If I turn the car off and start it up again maybe a half hour later the blower won't come on at all. Is that still the resistor being bad or another problem altogether?

this is an indication that the blower motor resistor is bad and needs to be replaced. the system is designed to always work on high if the resistors go bad.

Could be your blower motor resister,it's located by blower motor,easy to remove.Click here to see blower motor resistor.

Someone would need to check the blower motor and the resistor for voltage and ground.

So the fan only comes on when it's in the highest setting? If so the problem is likely your blower motor resistor. It is responsible for dropping voltage which determines the other fan speeds. The blower motor resitor is located under the passenger side of the dash near the blower motor and is readily available from most parts stores or your local dealer.

Replace the Blower Motor Resistor.It will be located in or near Blower motor box.

hi i;m mike my wife has a 2000 stratus es and the blower motor rersistor used to blow all the so i got smart and instead of blowing 25.00 each time to replace it i took one of the resistors apart and went to radio shack and bought a higher temp resistor and put it back together in 10 minutes and now it's not blown in a year so far knock on wood .the new resistor since i bought 2 for 3.00 at radioshack they come in differant temperatures just like thermostats so i bought the highest temp resistor and no more problem and since i bought like 4 temperature control units every 6 months i experimented by putting new resistor and now i have 5 spares on the shelf .
if anyone has any questions please feel free to
call mike at 1-518-867-9551 and i will be more than happy to walk you through the process for free.the process only takes ten minutes to do anyone can do this screw the dealer or shops save money now

prob the only thing you can do is replace the air control unit

blower motor resistor $15 at dealer and easy to change

under the glove box there is the motor housing with the resistor on the bottom.

Hi my name is Allen!

The blower motor resister is located on the passenger side under the dash, it's mounted on the bottom of the A/C Housing.

If you bought the resister from the dealership you will need to make the hole larger for the new style resister so it will fit.

You should also replace the blower motor, because the resistance built up inside the motor is what damages the resister.
