Chrysler Repair: resistor block 1995 cirrus, heater blower, heater fan


Question
Hi Roland, seems I have same issue as others I read about, but where is this thing located on the 95 cirrus, behind the glove box  inside the heater fan, under the front cowl where the wipers are located. I tried the cowl last nite, can't figure out how to get wiper arms of the spline, are they stuck or stuborn.and out side screws seem too short. maybe this block THAT I HAVE PURCHASED is in the dash somewhere  if you have a link please sent it. have high speed only on the heater blower

Answer
Hi Gerry,
It's under the dash. The block is located on the underside of the heater/AC unit at the right side end of that unit. The resistors are actually positioned in an air duct that has air from the blower flowing past it when the blower is on. The air serves to dissipate the heat from the resistors. To get to the block you need to remove the lower right underdash panel silencer (the panel below the glove box; note how it fits so you can put it back the way it was). Then you should see the outside of the blower motor (you can turn on the blower to help you find it by its sound). There is a wire from the motor that goes to the resistor block. So follow that wire to the block and remove the plug at the block. Then you will see that there are 2 screws holding the block in place which if you remove will allow the block to drop down and out of the air duct in which it is mounted. Then replace it with the new one and reverse the steps. That should give you all the different blower speeds again.
