Why doesn't your 2001 dodge stratus ac work on 1 2 or 3?

Answer 1

I assume you mean the blower for the heat and air conditioning does not blow unless you have it set to the "high" position. The standard problem is the blower motor resistor. It is located under the dash in the ductwork of the air conditioner, held in by two screws. What happens is the resistor assembly has a thermal fuse so that if the resistor system gets too hot, indicating too much amperage is being drawn by the blower motor, it burns out this thermal fuse. The high speed position on the resistor is not under the control of this thermal fuse, and so the blower works on high. A replacement resistor assembly runs about $30 and is pretty easy to replace. If it fails again, you should probably check the current draw of the blower motor. (If you'r handy, you can also repair it yourself for a couple of bucks by getting a thermal fuse from Radio Shack and crimping it in place of the old fuse. (These thermal fuses are inside several appliances, such as microwaves to protect them from getting too hot.) (It is inside the assembly - bend the four tangs straight and pull the cover off for access; be sure to put it back together.)
