I have a 1996 dodge caravan the blower heater blower motor stopped working then came on and as time has passed I would have to smack the dash ans it would come back on now after some time and cold weather not wanting to change it or go to the wreckers it seems no more banging it will work is it the blower motor or resistor Thank you

You mean the blower motor ! It's going bad ,reach under right side of the dash an smack on the blower motor when not working an see if it starts then . If it does, bad blower motor .An go to youtube an check out a few heater blower motor trouble shooting videos.

under the dash on passenger side - -
may not be the blower motor tho

J, I am sending you some info to read but it appears that the most likely cause is the blower motor relay. Give the following notes a read and if you need some more help give me a buzz... Best of Luck..

1996 Chrysler Town & Country 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan ES 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Chrysler Town & Country LX 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan LE 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Dodge Caravan LE 3.8L, Vin L 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3.3L, GAS, Vin R, Eng Cfg V6 1996 Dodge Caravan Sport 3.3L 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE 3.3L, GAS, Vin R, Eng Cfg V6 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan ES 3.3L, Vin R 1996 Plymouth Voyager Rallye 3.3L Customer Concern: Front blower does not work; no power to it. Fuse is OK. Tests/Procedures: 1. At the blower motor, there is a Dark Blue wire. This wire should have battery voltage whenever the key is in the "on" position. Power for the blower motor comes from the blower relay.

2. Access the front blower relay, it is located on the driver's side under the dash, near the junction block. There will be four wires going to it. The Dark Green wire should have battery voltage all the time. The Dark Blue wire is going to the motor. The Black/Orange wire should have battery voltage with the key in the "on" position. The Black wire should be grounded at all times. On this circuit, the relay is energized whenever the key is in the "on" position. Potential Causes: Front Blower Relay
Front Blower Relay Wiring
Heater Ventilation Air Conditioner (HVAC) Control Head
Tech Tips: The front blower relay is located under the dash, on the driver's side. It may be necessary to remove the junction block (fuse and relay box) in order to see it. Diagnostic Codes: None

I can help, the problem here is the blowermotor resistor, the resistor is very very common on these, this is what controls the speeds of the blower, if you look under the dash on the pass/side you will see the blowermotor, and the heaterbox, this box is what the blower sits in, the resistor is screwed in the side of the box next to blower, a good way to find it is too unplug connector to blower and follow it back this will lead you to resistor,heres a few diagrams to help you,i hope this is helpful.

First check the voltage at the front blower moter. If it has voltage then it may just need a new motor.

Heater fan runnin on high only? Wow.......kinda feels like a hurricane doesn't it? You described a tsb to the t......I love it when people give an accurate history......now...what ya need to do is get up under the pass side of the dash.....open the front pass door...get on your knees and look up underneath the glovebox....that is where your blower motor resistor is...right next to your blower motor itself....your blower motor is the big flying saucer looking thing..and your resistor...which is what youre replacing...is about the size of a business card.that is whats keepin your motor on high and not adjustable......the part should run a little more than fifty dollars i believe........k......HOPE I HELPED!!!!!

2002 do have a cabin filter on the pass side of van. looking under the pass side dash. Slide clip towards rear of van, pull filter out. Around $30 to replace.

you can try to smack the motor to see if it comes on (old trick)
its where the passanger feet go smack the large black box on the bottom. if it comes alive you need a motor. and by the sound of the clacking, also sounds like a blower motor. be advised that you can **** things off the pass floorboard when in recirc mode. i have removed lots of debris from blower motors. :)

normally it is under the hood on the passanger side or under the dash inside the van on the passanger side under the glove box
