Interior blower not working - Chrysler Forum

I have a 2002 Sebring Convertible LXI with a 2.7 engine. My interior blower stopped working on a hot day. I checked all fuses but none are blown. Is there a fusible link off the starter? I have back problems and would rather not crawl under the car if I do not have to. Thanks in advance. Scott

Check the resistor block. It's under the dash. It's an easy repair for somebody without a bad back. You remove the panel below the glove box and remove a screw or two to pull the resistor. The replacement requires opening up the hole a bit with a file. Parts stores may have a replacement part; if not, the dealer can get it for you.

Thank You dcotter0579, I will check it tomorrow since it's raining. I had anouther vehicle that the blower resistor went and I still had high blower function. The blower doesn't work in any position. Low, Med, Or High. Do you think it is still the resisto? Thanks, Scott

You can check the resistor for continuity easily if you pop it out.
Could be the control head. That's very easy to pull out. Grab the trim bezel with your fingers at the bottom edge and pull straight back. It will pop loose. Then use a plastic trim tool or wooden paint stirrer to pry it off. Reach around the back of it once it's loose and unplug the connections.
They come up for sale on eBay every once in a while, or scout your local junkyard. The same part was used on Sebrings from '01 to '06 and Dodge Stealths too, so there are lots of them around.
Could also be a shot blower motor. It's a PITA to get out.
