Blower Motor Resistor - Sprinter-Forum

Sprinter Fred · 10-27-2009, 05:06 PM

I recently purchased a used 2006 Dodge Sprinter. The blower motor only runs on 4 (high). I read that the blower motor resistor may be bad. Anyone know where it is and what it looks like?

FRED!

Under the hood, left of center (pass side), top, under the insulation. You'll see the flat wiring connector going into it from above. Simple, simple to change.

Fred,
This is how I did it.

About a 10 minute job. The original thread is available in the upper right corner. Hope this does some good. AP/vic

I just got around to replacing the resistor. Just as Aqua Puttana said. Now if have all speeds working on the blower. The link in gggary was a great help

Thanks much!

It is located, under the hood, just at the right of the motor.

on the left of the cabin filter, easy to replace

...

It is located, under the hood, in the duct housing, just to the right of the fan blower motor.

Not to the right of the diesel engine.

Six years on this is still a useful thread!
Did mine this morning, as January is no time to be without a heater fan.
10 minute job, including knocking the loose dust out of the cabin air filter.
(CAD$40 for the filter buys a lot of canned air...)

Can you show a picture of this on a 2008 Sprinter 3500 diesel please? Thank you!

Not sure if Blower motor /resistor is in same location on an NCV3 (2008) van as on this threads T1Ns (06 and earlier years).

Have been detailing my newly purchased 04 Sprinter and have found a leaf blower to be super helpful.
