Durango 4WD 8-cyl

Air conditioning stopped working under normal use. After inspecting the blower motor resistor, and connector plug I found the inside to be melted likely due to too much voltage. I had to cut the wires as the connector was fused to the resistor. Not able to find this connector through local junk/salvage yards, because this apparently is a common issue with this model Durango. Only able to get after market part for this connector, and will have to re-wire it to the blower motor resistor.

The contact owns a 2003 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that the blower motor harness fan became hot and melted the wiring. The contact activated the air conditioner but there was no response. The dealer was notified of the failure who informed him that he would have to purchase a kit and repair it himself. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,763.

Blower motor completely stops working due to blower motor resistor and attached wiring pigtail completely burning out. This problem has occurred every 12 -18 months over the last five years of ownership. The failure requires the replacement of a resistor(part # 5061575aa) and wiring harness connector kit.(part # 5017124ac) it is my understanding from the mechanics who have made these repairs that all or part of the parts requiring replacement have overheated to the extent of melting and/or burning prior to failure.
