Update. Well shit! I guess I spoke too soon. Now the blower motor has apparently decided not to work at all, most of the time. I do seem to have a combination of problems tho & this may have something to do with my ignition switch. On numerous occasions when the blower would just quit working, I jiggled the key & it came back on. Also having trouble with the ignition cylinder/key/lock mech. Have to park with wheels straight or key won’t turn without jigglin’ the wheel & key just right. ANY HELP?
Awesome!! so glad to hear it! 😉
Thanks dude, $14 later I’m back in business and wife is HAPPY!
Worked like a champ for me too. My original resistor had no gasket and was pretty badly corroded. Only had two fan speeds, 4 & 5 and it wanted to fade off to nothing after it got warmed up real good. Also quit one time when I hit a bump. Mine was kind of a pain in the ass to remove but at least it only cost me 12 bucks to solve a nagging problem that I thought was going to be very expensive. Thanks for posting this video!
how long how have you owned this minivan?
Mine did that just the other day when I hit a bump too. Think I’ll start with replacing the resistor though since I also have only two fan speeds now. Did you end up replacing the blower or the resistor or both?
yes mine works on 4 and 5 settings only is it still the resistor thanks
thanks man, cleared up doubts where it was located. time to do mine
Well after going through the soldering issue and racking my brain, i had the idea to pull the radio out and see if there was any loose wires in there. BAMB!! There was a short in there causing all my panels to quit working. I hope this helps some folks out! Thanks

Fantastic! just fixed my 1997 T&C many thanks for taking the time to post this help
Thanks! But know it blows hi on all settings. Even when it’s off.?
you prob need a new controller..or the motor on top of the AC box under the dash is bad or stuck. Gauges check the fuses under the hood black box left side
yes umm my 02 is on the rt side behind the panel in the back. rear AC has its own blower and resistor
i have an 02 DGC bought it with front blower inop, was told it was the resistor, instead i tested the wiring with a light and it seemed to me that it was functioning. I also had ‘light’ at the blower where the wires went into the side of the casing. I removed the blower (both of which are located behind the glove box) and blew it out with a compressor and then tested it by hard wiring it to the batter…Presto!! it works.
I just replaced the resistor in my 2000 Caravan. This video helped finding where the thing was. It was so simple. Now all speeds work again!
Looks like your old one was usable ,, Just burned contacts ,, Cleaning the contacts might have worked ,, Likely the unplugging it and re plugin it in would have worked short term . The electrical connector is a area of concern . A bad resistor of that type will have melted coil . The burned contact is all it takes to make it inoperable
Thank you so much for this video. The owners manual doesnt say much about the resistor, only a pic. I started off trying to take the motor blower out trying to find the resistor and the realizing from the pic that it was somewhere behind it, or out in the engine. So you basically summed up my 2.5 hour job in 20 min. Next time I’ll remember to check out youtube first. Thanks again.
I got the same question about the rear resistor. Is there one?
Its behind the glove box. I started to take it out looking for the resistor before i saw this vid. The owners man does a decent job explaining how to replace the fan and motor. Not so much the resistor.
Yeah possibly, unless you have an electrical short somewhere. I’m not sure exactly where the fan/blower itself is located, perhaps behind the glove box? Might be an easy fix, but I’ve never had to do that before..
I have to replace the fan itself i think because it starts up and stops then starts up when i hit a bump sometimes, i don’t know where the fan is located and do i have to remove half the engine or dashboard?
Thank you!!! Thought I was going to have to spend hundreds of dollars for repairs at a local AC shop. $12.71 later, I couldn’t be happier with the result. You the Man!
Sorry to hear that. Hmm. At first I was thinking it might be a vacuum leak somewhere, but with all the gauges gone, it might be some other electrical issue…sounds like bigger problems!
I can adjust on all speeds but it is stuck on vent and cannot change it to any other? Also all my guages are dead! You heard of this issue? I have replaced the PCM and the cluster and still notheing? Thanks
I replaced it but now it doesn’t work at all..? I can hear the motor moving but it doesn’t blow anything… Cold or hot..
Funny spot for it under the hood, my wife’s car has it behind the glove box. Spent two years with just the high speed. Summit Racing (online) has the fan resistor for $10, good prices over all, too.
