    Hi again , I took the van to the garage this morning for them to have a look at the heater and they told me they have to replace the motor $150.00 for the motor and 7 hours labor @ $78.00 to install as they need to pull the dash and intrument panel to change it , plus a air conditioner recharge. Just need to know I'm not getting shafted ,,,,any comments appreciated.

    My Dodge grand caravan sport blows hot, cold, and the a/c only at the highest blowing speed I was told that changing the resistor would work. Also you are getting shafted because I changed the motor and it is 1 to 2 hours of labor and paid a $100 fo the blower (new, Ebay)

No Front Heat 2003 Dodge Caravan - Tried most everything

If I am understanding you correctly, the blower fan is not running. You will need to take things apart until you can get to the blower itself. (Or you could test for voltage at the blower control switch) But I am guessing it is the blower that has gone bad, not the switch. However, they usually get noisy, and then go bad. Test for 12 volts going into the blower motor. If you have voltage at the blower motor, and it doesn't run, replace the blower motor.

I have a '03 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport AWD that the heater only blow hot air when going down the road. Van has a new radiator and new thermostat. Sometimes the blower will not kick on for a few

If the problem is a lack of air flow from the vents, and you suspect the blower motor is not running at times, you would need to test the blower relay and blower motor for power and ground when it is not working.

The front a/c blower does not work, all fuses are good. please help

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..

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 have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and a few days ago the heater fan (front only -- rear works fine) was making a loud noise on the highest level but did not make noise on the other levels. Now three days...

Hi............ Sounds like the fan motor, but first check the resistor pack........ normally fails first..... sometimes though you end up renewing both..... would think by the age of the vehicle that this will be the case........ Hope this helps...... Steve ....... Botswana

The front heater/air conditioner blower stopped

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

Only High speed blower front on 01 dodge grand carvan

Sounds like you need to replace the Blower Motor Resistor. It is located on the bottom of the heater box about where the passengers left foot would rest, behind glove box. It has 2 screws holding it on.

Heater fan no workie

Hi my name is Allen!

If the blower motor is not working the most likely cause is the blower resister, but you must replace the blower motor also because the resistance build-up inside the motor is what damages the resister.
