Message:
Has anyone tackled with heater/ac assembly I look in my info and see theres the unit itself and a blower motor resistor block can this blower motor resistor block be changed if bad ? I asked this bacause my 02'CC SXT., the only blower speed I have is HIGH only.I never had any electrical problems like I see many do a FIRST after owning this truck bought new and well taken care of hate to let it go if any other chaos electrical goes which I doubt??... If anyone fixed or repaired this got any advice would be helpful..

Thanks daddio, is this a dealer item or get at any autoparts store ???... or a junkyard??... any suggestions would help trying surfing through most of my local autoparts no search found haven't telephoned yet figuring my best options now that I can fix this myself.Also wondering if my remote starter mess this up if any my remote starter still works just recently notice my blower wasn't working when the temp. drop here in MI to the 40's at night when I left work thought I popped a fuse at first than I remember swapping a whole heater control assembly not known about this resistor block until now 3 4 yrs later looking at my electrical schmatics I have at hand would of done this for my freind would of save a few $$ for them oh well learn lesson there

glad you got it working again. yeah we could make it here but then it would cost $32.95. workers here get paid a little more than $1.50 an hr.
or you could probably get better resistors from an electrical supply store and change them out for about $5.00.

I replaced my heater core when my heat went out, and I still have no heat. Air blows through my vents so they aren't clogged.
Why am I still not getting heat with a new heater core?

Before you changed your heater core, did you put any stop leak additives in ?? If you did might of plugged new core up or if it has not been flushed at proper maintenance schedule might have rust deposits or scales or something restricting flow like worn water pump, stuck thermostat, collasped hose(s)radiator plugged or internal head gasket leaking coolant level not up to level or bad core when replaced endless answers here... check all those listed see what you come up with might of kinked heater core copper line as well if you weren't paying attention installing it seen many of times all to well

jeremy, the fan only working on high is the blower motor resistor pack. the water on the floor could be from the a/c not draining properly.

what year truck? older daks had the resistor pack mounted under the hood on the passenger side. later models it's inside the cab on the passenger side i think behind or below the glovebox.
if it's the a/c drain, the passenger side should be the only wet place. if both sides are wet i'd lean more towards a leaking winsheild.

check the a/c drain underhood on the passenger side. try blowing it out with a little air. your blower resistor pack should be inside as i mentioned above.

Like daddio is saying clean that drain tube out with compressed air and take a toothbrush with a soapy solution swab it around inside the drain tube to free it up thats why you end up with moisture in your front floor common problem if moisture collects long enough it will rot core out and let go
