Durango blower fan switch question - bad?

Suddenly, without warning, Shane McBride exclaimed (7/26/2010 7:15 AM):

Nope, you just need a new blower motor resistor.  Common thing to go out
on these trucks - my 2001 Dakota has gone through two.  You can replace
it yourself, but if it's placed like mine, it is really awkward to get
to, under the passenger side dash.  I had it replaced while the truck
was in for other things, so I can't really say how hard it is to get to.

Yea, I checked a few places and it looks like it is the resistor. I
bought one and will replace it tomorrow. Looks rather easy. Thanks!!!!!

I seem to remember that the tricky part was moving some plastic (vents?)
to properly get at the location of the resistor.  It's very hard for me
to do that sort of thing any more (awkward under-dash contortionist
activities), my back won't allow it.

Good luck.  FWIW, for me the first broke when I'd had the truck about 3
years.  The second broke less than a year after that... but the third is
still going strong.
