Blower motor shut off with no power
So I have been messing with this darn 1998 Concorde with Auto AC for 4
days now, about 6 months ago the blower motor went on HIGH and wouldnt turn off no matter where the knob was, common problem I hear, well then the ATC readout unit dealy stopped displaying anything but still worked for the temp. Well about a week ago the blower motor just stopped and wouldnt turn on again, I bought a new motor thinking the high constant just killed it but it still dosent work! I am buying a new ATC unit for the car to see if that helps but Im worried Im sinking money into it when its just going to be something more costly. Any suggestions? I looked for fuses but didnt find any that were blown etc. THANKS! |

Thanks for the reply, however, where can I find a blower motor resistor
for a 98 concorde? I cant seem to find it anywhere! |

Well Im bout to give up on this crap, the only thing I can find is a 97
resistor which I guess isnt the same thing and my local dealer wants to charge me boatloads for the damn part, I got a new atc unit for $24 but dont think thats going to do the trick. Thanks for your help. |

You're too close to getting it - I won't let you quit. One correction to my previous post: What I referred to as the ATC Power Module is called the ATC Blower Control Module. On car-part.com, for the part, you would choose,"Computer Box Not Engine", then you'll have to choose a sub-category. You'll pick "Temperature (Climate), (underheater)". Yeah - I know - kind of cryptic. The part is the same for '98 thru at least '02 - so try different years one at a time. It will be Chrysler part number 4734913AD or 4734913AE (AE was a later revision of the same part starting in '01 - either will work - ...AE will be from a newer car, so may be a better part). If you go that route, make sure you have them read the Chrysler part number out to you - or you're probably safe if they agree that the part they have is called the ATC Blower Control Module - emphasize to them that it has to be from an ATC system - not from a car with manual temp. controls (otherwise, you'll be getting the resistor pack - not what you want). HERE IS ANOTHER VERY GOOD ALTERNATIVE: Go to the forums on www.dodgeintrepid.net. There are at least 2 guys on there that routinely strip parts out of junk yards LH cars (Intrepids, Concordes, 300M's - all use the same exact part) and put them up for sale at decent prices, and they maintain a top notch reputation on that site. Plus if they don't have it in hand, they will grab one on their next trip to the junk yard. They are very familiar with these ATC system parts - they are popular parts because people will often convert from the manual temp. controls to the ATC (which I am getting ready to do on my '99 Concorde) - they often will pull all the components for a complete swapout to convert manual temp. control to ATC. But they also sell the individual parts. You will want to contact either "Torontofirecaptain" (real name Ross) or Gigamight (real name Jeff) through the private messaging (PM) system on the forums. If you do a search there on their names, you will find where they have items for sale, but better to PM them 'cause they may not list the part you're looking for in any particular thread. You're so close to getting it working for lack of one inexpensive part - don't give up now.

If you go the www.dodgeintrepid.net route, instead of PM'ing
Torontofirecaptain or Gigamight, you could just as easily put a "WTB..." (Want To Buy) post in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum there. I would title it "WTB: ATC Blower Control Module". One or both of those two guys (or possibly additional others) will reply with an offer to sell you one (might be a good oppotunity to pick up some other inexpensive miscellaneous parts for you Concorde once you get hooked up).

Hi... I'll second that... course I'm an old retired electrical guy, not a mechanic... I'll even betcha a dollar against a stale donut that he doesn't have to buy a new module Given that it's now virtually dead odds are much in my favor that he's just lifted some component off the board, and all it needs is a bit of solder re-flowing. However, having said that soldering nicely is a bit of an art, so it the op (can't write all them numbers for a name) isn't handy at it and/or doesn't have a nice pencil maybe he shouldn't do it. But further bet that he does have if he looks someone in his life like a neighbor or relative or friend who'd be willing to do it for him I like chocolate coated donuts Take care. Ken |

UGH? My '95 Concord has ATC which I usually turn off. My wife's Sebring has MTC which I prefer. Maybe I should trade my ATC for MTC. < |
