I drove the Dakota to my daughter's school today and the A/C worked fine. Came out a couple hours later and the HVAC fan would not come on. I could hear the A/C compressor kick on and off, but no air flow. I checked the fuses and they are fine. I'm guessing there is a relay somewhere? Any suggestions appreciated.

FWIW, I installed a new indash CD/radio a couple days ago, so I had the dash face plate and radio out. But, everything went back together fine and worked - drove a couple days with the fan running. Now, zip - no air flow.

Thanks.

I just fixed mine-it's the blower resitor that's held onto the passenger side of the firewall with two screws. It's tricky in how it goes, some people get some speeds still working, some have no speeds working. Buy a new resistor from the dealership for under 10.00. it's a five minute fix
