2002 grand caravan blower motor intermittent replaced resistor

I replaced the blower motor resistor, and tested the blower motor direct to 12V and worked fine. After replacing the blower motor we replaced the cabin air filter since this is what probably burned out the resistor from never being changed. Now after about a week, the blower motor stopped blowing one day and then a couple days later it works fine. There is a faint clicking I hear while it work and gets faster with higher speeds of the switch for the fan which tells me that it is related directly to the fan.. Could I be looking at possible brushes going bad causing the intermittent operation of the blower motor itself even though it seemed to work fine out of the vehicle?

In review
the fan speed resistor is new
you bench tested the blower motor
12 volts test ..only runs it at full speed
if cabin filer want changed the blower motor would run hotter

could be the motor brushes or bush/motor bearing when slowed
you might want to inspect the brushes and clean the dust out of the motor
if no better
does that have climate control ?
might be the fan switch itself or the earth isnt so good

SOURCE: Blower in the front of my van stopped working

sounds as if you have a bad resistor or a blowermotor going bad. if it has a bad winding in the motor jarring it my make it come back on

SOURCE: replaced blower resistor now nothing works!

I believe the compressor may be locked up burning the belt as it passes. Take it to your most trusted mechanic for a further diagnosis.

SOURCE: Blower motor stopped working

most common is the blower motor resistor or "module" going out. but if you have 12volts to the resistor the motor should work on "HI" but not on any other speed. if it doesnt work at all, you might have a bad motor. just to be safe id replace both. neither one is too hard to replace. three 5/16" bolts for the motor and two 5/16" for the resistor they are both under the glove box

SOURCE: The front AC on my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan does not work at all.

probablt front blower motor or switch,can test blower motor by running auxiliary power and growd to front blower motor.Can test switch with DVOM.

SOURCE: 2005 grand caravan; rear blower motor is working,

Access the blower motor resistor board located behind the glove box. Take a jumper wire and ground each of the Dark Blue wires that have tracers on them one at a time. Caution: do not ground out the plain Dark Blue wire or a fuse will blow. As each wire (with the tracer) is grounded, the blower motor should run at a different speed. If it does not, the resistor board has failed.

How to test the heater fan switch 2005 dodge caravan

On a Chrysler product, the blower switch and resistor provides the ground circuit for the blower motor.
The highest speed circuit which is dark blue and gray goes thru the resistor directly to the fan switch. The other speeds go thru the resistor to slow down the motor.
One wire from the switch should be a direct to ground, the other 5 wires should have voltage coming from the blower motor thru the resistor.

Blower does not work at all until you hook it directly to 12v

Check for power in and out of resistor. Normally located on firewall on passenger side underneath sill area, behind shock mount. Normally it will run on high only, if resistor gone, but I have had some that quit completely, so checking voltage on both sides of resistor, with fan on, should tell you.
The power goes through the resistor then to motor. If not on firewall, follow wires from motor, back to connector at duct work, which should be the resistor, or resistor will be near there.

I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. Recently the front blower fan began to work intermittently. Sometimes it would work only on high, sometimes any speed, sometimes only when the rear blower was off. Now...

I think your headed in the right direction. At the front blower motor, the black wire is voltage and the dark green wire ground. As you can see the thermal fuse and resisters are on the ground circuit for blower motor , the speed controls are also on the ground circuit. Any motor that uses brushes, sometimes you can tap on the blower housing and it starts running, or driving down the road and you hit a bump and it takes off. Your jumper wires should have worked, in my opinion. If you wired it up backwards, I don't know if blower motor would run backwards, I never tried it. In the past, with faulty blower motors, I took it apart and looked at the brushes, wore down to the nub.

Blower motor resistor overheats and fried connector to blower motor on 2001 Grand Caravan. Replaced resistor once new one fried connection. Saw review online that the resistor diode may be the culprit....

You should be replacing the blower motor with the resistors. If your buying the parts from the dealer an experienced parts person will insist you replace both at the same time. The blower motor is usually what burns out the resistors.

Heater blower motor only has off and high nothing inbetween

This is a common problem (mine in a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan) with the Blower Motor Resistor.
Disconnect the Battery and wait at least 2-mins (to prevent a accidental discharge of the Passenger side Air Bag).
Remove the Dash-Glove Box. The Resistor is located directly behind the Glove Box on the fire wall, and is held on with two (2) (I believe) 8mm screws.
Unplug the Resistor, remove the screws and it pulls-out.
Install the new Resistor, install the screws, plug back in, reconnect the Battery and recheck the Blower Speed operation. Re-disconnect the Battery (Air Bag!) and reinstall the Glove Box.

Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com!

My 02' Grand Caravan front A/C is not blowing in the front

Could be the fuse for the front blower motor, or worse the motor itself.

Choice A is easy and not expensive. Choice B could be somewhat pricey, or really pricey if the dash has to come out for blower removal/replacement.

2001 Dodge Grand Caravan heater blower motor not working at all...worker off and on during a cold spell....now not at all ....dealer suggested replacing blower motor and resister...cost $1000....due to the...

The Blower Motor Resistor is located behind the glove box on the dash. Remove the whole glove box to access. The Resistor is mounted against/sort of into the fire wall.
1. Disconnect the negative side of battery.
2. Disconnected the Electrical Connection to the Resistor.
3. Remove the bolts/screws. I believe they have 8mm heads, there should be 2 of them.
4. Replace with new one/Replug electrical connection.
5. Reconnect the negative side last.
6. Test System before putting the glove box back in!
The Blower Motor is easy (compared to $1000) to remove and replace.

Blower motor only works on high.

you can go to Alldata.com to subcribe to the factory manual, but you need the blower motor resistor, a dealer item. And typically its located by the blower mounted to the blower housing.
