Heater Fan Switch

As of yesterday the fan on my heater/air conditioner only turns on in the high setting. All of the other settings are dead. Not a crisis but it sure is a pain to either have no heat or way to much with nothing in the middle. Looking for ideas. This is on a 99 2500 4WD. Thanks

Look at the resistor, its not shown in a lot of books as a rule. This has been an ongoing issue with dodge trucks. Many people have replaced the blower motor and or switch and ended up having to replace the resistor only.

The resistor block is screwed into the bottom of the heater box, beside the blower motor. You can see it if you stick your head under the dash on the passenger side. When you remove it, it looks like a rectangular ceramic block.
