96 van
I hope someone can help me figure out how to repair the heater blower on my 96 dodge van. It only works on high speed. How can I repair this? Where would the resistor be located?
ALSO As soon as we turn the van on the airbag light comes on and stays on til we shut the motor off. The van has 95,000 miles on it. Is it possible that the airbag is no longer any good? How can I disconnect this light? Thanks

Re: 96 van
Two things.
The heater problem is most likely the heater fan resistor that has rusted and broken. Depending on what van you have it is either under the hood or under the dash. Repost more info (year, make, model & engine) & I can get more specific. The airbag may also be a number of things. The most popular item for Chrysler is the clockspring failure in the steering column, but I would suggest a scan to identify this problem. It can get real expensive throwing airbag parts at a car. In the meantime, here is some more information about the clockspring The clockspring is a ribbon wire that is coiled up inside the steering column. It delivers current to all of the systems mentioned above, airbag, cruise control and horn. When it fails (and they do a lot) the wire breaks leaving the circuit open and inoperative. This will cause the airbag light to come on and shut down the system. As long as that light is on, the airbags will NOT deploy, even in an accident. This was a factory recall and many customers are unaware of that. Her is that link Clockspring Recall Contact your local dealer and they will accommodate the replacement for you.

Re: 96 van
I Also had the same problem with my 96 Grand Caravan. A $15 resistor coil did the trick just as Dugan 50 explained in his previous post.
