Dodge Intrepid Blows Resistors Q. I have a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with 148,000 miles on it. I have installed two blower resistors in less than a month. The blower blows all speeds for a few days, then reverts back to full speed only. I suspect something is causing these resistors to go out. Do you have any ideas? Your expertise is appreciated. Sincerely, Brent

A. Usually when this happens it's due to a high current draw from the blower motor. A dirty or corroded blower motor resistor connector could do it due to it being a high resistance connection.

I would measure the current draw on this one and the current draw on a brand new one and see if there is a big difference. I'll bet there is.
