I am competing to be 'expert of the month' and need your vote of confidence.
The race for "expert of the month" is going down to the wire.
Chrysler "repairer" vs. Microsoft "coder".
One vote per each answer is permitted.
Click on "Thank/rate" button below, then click on "Yes" for nomination.
Deadline to vote is Thursday, 4 PM CT.

Hi Ben,
Did the fan problem resolve? If you would like to tell me there is a "Thank/rate the expert" button below which if you click will take you to page where you can "comment".
May I also ask a favor? On that same page you will see the question "Would you like to nominate this expert to be 'volunteer of the month"? If you will click on "Yes" that would be appreciated.  I am competing for that recognition which is based on nominations from questioners like yourself. Achieving it will increase awareness of the Chrysler repair category.

Hi Ben,
It sounds like the fan motor/blades are mechanically restricted, or wearing out. I would suggest first that you try jumping two wire to the fan motor (you will find a disconnect near the assembly) that come from the two posts of the battery to see if the unit runs properly with direct wiring or not. If it does, then let me know and we can check further.
