Air system not working properly
Sent to Car Experts July 14 09:35 AM

I have a 2001 Durango. The drive control light went on a few days ago. Last night, when I got in the car, I turned the air on. The only setting that will work is the highest setting. That setting works correctly. But the 3 lower settings don't work at all. Any idea why this might be happening?

 

Optional Information:
2001 Dodge Durango V8

That sounds like you have a bad blower motor resister. You will find itr under the dash on the passenger side, right near the blower motor.
