Dodge Dakota - anyone have an owner's manual?

[AngliaGT]

I've got a '95 Dakota - V8,automatic,4WD.
The blower motor (for the heater/ A/C)would work off &-
on,& now doesn't work at all.
I didn't get an owner's manual with it,but have
the Haynes & factory shop manuals.I tried to find a diagram
of the fuse block,but they don't show one.Are the factory
manuals made by Chilton?

Doug,

Does the blower work in high only.....had the resistor pack go bad on my 2002. Same issue with my friends Jeep...

My old 86 Ford Ranger I bought new has the same problem. Works on high but none of the other lower settings. I figured it was a bad resister pack. Since we only use it on the farm anymore, I never fixed it. So it's on or off. PJ

It would quit,then start working again,& now doesn't
work at all.
Anyone know whwew I could find an owner's manual for
a reasonable amount?

You want a "Factory Service Manual". The only thing an "owners manual" will show is where the fuse is. anything beyond that it will tell you to take it to the dealer. The "Owners Manual" is that little book they put in the glove box of new cars.
I have access to the wiring diagrams, but I have not had any luck yet in being able to send them as files to anyone. the online service manuals have done a good job of preventing me doing that.
First thing I would do is check voltage at the connector on the blower motor.
If the blower is not working, but you are getting 12V at the connector, it's the blower it's self. No voltage, start heading upstream.
Next stop, like both Doug and Paul said, check the resistor pack. It should be mounted in the heater duct near where the blower motor is. They very often go bad.

Ben,

That's what the problem was - replaced it (under $10!),
& now works fine.
I have a factory service manual - I need the owner's manual.

Don;t give me any credit there... I was the third person to suggest that part.

As for the owners manual...I'd look in every Dakota I found at the salvage yards.
