Blower Motor Mystery

[iplax13]

I have a 2017 slt v6.
I have replaced the blower motor 2 times in the pat 2 years. It seems to start off fine, then slowly work inconsistently and then completely stop working. Looking or any potential solutions as it was -3 degrees today and I really missed my heat!

Is the cabin air filter present and if so has it been changed/cleaned consistently?

Thanks for the response. Filter wasn’t bad but replaced it. Replaced the fuse as well and put in another new blower motor. Still no luck.

I’m curious - did you use an OEM Ram blower motor assembly each time?

First one was oem from the dealership. The following 2 have been 4seasons from my mechanic. The dealer didn’t want to replace it for free after failure in 7 months so I politely told them to kick rocks.

I'd look at your service sheet, most Chrysler dealers have a two year warranty on OEM parts installed.

They are a pain to deal with. Seeing I already tossed that blower it’s out the window.

How hard was it to change blower motor ?

Thanks

Lots of work still no progress. Blower motor is good. I have no power at the fuse location. What would the next step be? I’ve swapped over the fuse with others to ensure that the fuse wasn’t the issue.

A fan resistor problem maybe?

Update. May have solved but time will tell. Replaced the relay and that seems to work for the time being. Will report back with updates.
