Stratus SE V6

The lowest setting on my AC/Heater stopped working after having the car for only 1 year. The other 3 settings work, but it now takes a while for the car to cool so 4 is the recommended setting to get cool air within 5 minutes. It is no comparison to a 2000 Montero Sport I used to own which gave me instant heat or instant AC upon cranking it on the first setting.

Stratus 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

I had this problem with my 2001 Stratus. The problem is the resistor for the fan is burned out. On high, the fan will bypass the resistor, so everything works. But all other settings use it, so they will not work.
