My heater/ac only works on high and sometimes not at all. Since I have a 1 year old this has been a real pain in the ass this winter.

We got this car used and it had 30,000 miles on it. The blower worked fine for a while then one day it would only work on the hi setting.

Blower motor only works on high. I've changed the resistor , blower motor, and the switches.NADA, still in the same boat. Also the heat doesn't work.

Part not hard to replace, but had to replace three times. I think some replacement parts worst than new.

Over the summer, the blower would only work on high setting. Eventually, the high setting crapped out too. It turned out to be a bad blower motor resistor - corroded after 7 years and 145,00 miles. The resistor is a $30 part at the local CarQuest shop. Took about 10-15 minutes to install at home.

All we had to do was pick up a replacement AC/heater control panel from a local junk yard (we are cheap) and install it. It was a pain to install (so my husband said) but it corrected the issue.

I bought this car 1 year ago with only 59,000 miles on it. The fan worked fine then one day it just worked on high. I live in MN and the weather changes from day to day. Last week it was 95 today it is 54. When your fan only works on high it is a real pain. If you run the a/c you freeze to death and if you run the heat you roast. I saw it cost an average of $220.00 to fix this has anyone found it cheaper because I can't afford $220 but I don't know how long the fan will keep working at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Worked fine after I bought the car, at which point it had 90,000 miles. About a year later this problem popped up. Works only on high.

I came out to use my car on the so far coldest day of the year and the heater blower motor would only work on high. The day before I had the oil changed, radiator serviced and washed at a car wash. I don't know if that had anything to do with it but It was the first time since I got the car brand new that anybody but myself had touched it

This wasn't so bad in the summer because having the a/c on High in New Mexico dry heat was great, but in the fall when it was either BURN ALIVE or FREEZE, well, that sucked. I don't know if Dodge has a problem with the way they make their a/c but the other Dodge I have has ANOTHER a/c problem and it was at about 95000 miles. What's the deal?????
