I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 V6. I posted a few days ago about replacing my blower motor. I replaced the blower motor resistor, the blower motor, and the connector to the blower motor resistor. Now, the air blows, but my AC does not work. For literal months, my AC has worked with no air blowing through it (I could feel it through my vents if I put my hand right on the vent). Now I mess with the blower system and suddenly the AC doesn't work. Could it be that I was given the wrong parts? It wouldn't be the first time as stores have given me parts for the V8 or Hemi engine despite me telling them that I have the V6. I don't recall the electrical system diagram showing the two systems (blowing vs actual heating and cooling) being directly connected, but I can't believe this was that much of a coincidence. Here's what I know:

-I definitely replaced the right parts, but the wire coloring was different than the one in my Haynes book. I figured it was not a big deal though as I knew I was looking at the blower motor resistor. Looking back at the diagram now, I definitely was looking at the blower motor resistor, but the color of the wires was the color of the wires for the AC unit (blue wires with different streaks). 

-I unplugged the battery before starting to replace the connector, but I cut the blu/blk wire and messed up the crimp. I then had to reconnect the battery and drive to the store to get more crimps with the wire cut.

feel the lines to the evaporator core. If they're cold, then you have a problem with the temperature blend door being stuck.


@MountainManJoe would it be stuck because I did not properly put the blower motor engine in? Or because I messed it up some other way?


@MountainManJoe would it also mean my blender door is stuck if the air still changes temperatures? When I change it from cold to hot, the heat does kick on and off. It is just that the air isn't actually cold when I turn it to cold.


Sorry, I don't know the particulars of Dodge pickups.


No problem. Thanks for the help. I will try to figure it out from here 🙂
