1996 Plymouth Voyager - Blower Switch Problems

[Joe Prucha]

Have a 1996 Plymouth Voyager, and am having problems with the "Blower Switch". Currently, only the #5, the highest blower speed, works. Actually, gradually over time the lower speeds began not to work. About two months ago speed levels # 3 & 4 were working, but now no longer do. Speed levels # 1 & 2 died out some time ago. Want to know if anyone out there knows a quick and cheap method to get all 5 speed levels for my Blower Switch to work again. Would like to do the repair myself...if such is possible to do...and not pay umpteen labor costs for what I think my be a simple repair job. I just need someone's expertise to assist me here. Anyone out there with an answer to this "Blower Switch" problem will be most appreciatively received.

You gotta put a little effort into it and look around on the board before you ask a question. Maybe do a search. Sheesh. This post appears on the same page as yours...

Sounds like your Resistor Block is bad - a common problem.

I had a similar problem. I was told that the resistor is bad. It is located on the firewall passenger side. It is a little hard to get too. I bought a used one at the junkyard. It did work, but I then lost a couple of blower speeds again later. It is better, so I never replaced it with new one.

good luck
