check fuse,also on the older trucks theres a plug in on the [pass.side] firewall up near the hood,theres 4 wires that are together in 1 plug,
this may be corrodied and/or the unit it plugs in to may have burnt out,its held in with 2 screws[becareful this gets very hot]theres 4 spring like coils on the backside of this,one may have burnt,about $15 at dealer
hope this helps

Im also interested on knowing where you found this piece. If your looking at it from the front is it to the left of the big black ball(I wonder what thats for also)
If I found the right piece on my truck then I think its held in by hex-heads? Or am I looking in the wrong spot. I have a 93

OK
lets seen if i can explain this better,
pass.side,under the hood,above the dipstick for auto trans,on the firewall theres a 4 wire plug,
square in shape,
this 4 wire plug,plugs onto the resistor,whick is held on with 2 screws[small]1/4" if i remember
right
the resistor is inside the firewall so theres only 4 pronges outside when the plug is removed
this is the same on all daks 87-96,
97-up i don,t know,

Thanks for the tip Vern. Mechanic wanted to charge me $180 to fix the heater, I just fixed it myself it only took an 8mm socket, 5 minutes of my time and $8.35. God I love this place.

napolean,
the resistor WON,T help in your case,
the resistor is for the blower motor.
sounds like your blower is working fine just no heat
sounds like you have a pluged heater core or the vaccumm control is not working
try reversing the two heater hoses under the hood
this will reverse the flow and help clear a pluged heater core
also check if your heater controls work from floor to defrost or visa-versa,if they don,t theres a vaccumm feed line that comes in from under the hood to the heater control panel
check to see if its still hooked
if all seems good than it maybe your heater control panel,

I have a 97 Dakota, heat is not working, just blows cold air, sometimes the heat will work if its not cold outside. I have replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system. The heater controls work from floor to defrost or visa-versa.
From reading the repair manual, my guess is the floor/defrost door actuator isn’t working correctly. Is there anyway to check this door actuator without purchasing a new one???
Also, would this door actuator affect the airflow of the A/C when turned on?? During the summer months the airflow will change from the dash panel vents to the defrost vent with out doing anything.

Mike V,
it sounds like your heater door is working if it changes from floor to defrost
sounds more like the door that controls the cold air/hot air may not be working
my 89 dak does the bi-level to defrost change also,but it don,t effect the heat
with a vaccumm pump you can test the controls by removing the panel from the dash and hooking up the pump to the hoses one at a time and pumping
the pump to see if the doors open/close
to get at the door actuators you have to take the bottom of the dash,glove box etc all off.
THIS IS A JOB!
i,d try everything else first,after the truck is up to temp touch both heater hoses to see if they are both hot or try reversing the to heater hoses under the hood just to see if that helps,its free and it may be the answer.

Vern,
Holy crap........I'm thinking the reverse flush of the heater core and switching the hoses @ the fire wall is going to work. The weather in Okla. has warmed up and not been cool enough to really give the heater a good test.
After spending about $3 for the fittings this was a simple fix and save me the cost of replacing the heater core.
Thanks for the information.....greatly appreciated.

Message:
alright so i own an 04 dakota and the resistor is in the same spot as all the others along with the blower motor.
now for the question. some time ago i can feel my heater blowing then stopped. i know i can still get heat, but won't blow. my blower motor is testing fine. now i just dont know if its the resistor or controls themselves?
motor won't blow on any setting, but when i was troubleshooting and put temp ground to my chassis and kept the power the same the blower motor would turn on but the dial wouldn't control it. no off or any speeds. so do i have a bad ground too? any help appreciated. thanks

Since the blower will blow at only one speed I would say your resister's are bad they are what control the blower speed, you should have battery voltage at the motor and the resisters control the speed. (through ground)
Good Luck
