Message:
Ive done lost my owners manual and Im not sure if its the fuse or not. My fan has stopped blowing into the cab. AC and heat still work as I can still hear the compressor kick on and if I turn the heat on and drive fast enough it will eventually warm the cab. Could anyone help me with this issue please. Its starting to get cold in upstate NY

It could be the blower motor resistor pack is bad. It's a common problem on Dakota's. They are easy to replace and should not cost more than $20 at the dealer. Be sure to use the dealer part if you need one. Dodge recently redesigned it with better and longer-lasting parts.

I've had only the highest speed on my fan for over a year now. They said it was the blower motor resistor and wanted $125 to fix it. I just got used to plenty of wind in the cab! Friend of mine has no fan either, he's going to have a cold winter!; sounds like a Dakota pattern!

Having only the high fan speed is a classic indicator the blower motor resistor is defective.

Don't let whoever it was quoted you $125 fix it. The part only costs between $15 and $20 and is very easy to do yourself. I don't know what year your truck is so I don't can only guess. But the resistor for my 2001 only cost $15.00 and took me less than 10 minutes to replace.
