Does the blower even work on low or high speed? If not, replace the
resistor on the passenger-side of the firewall. Check A/C pressure (gauges)
also as the compressor won't come on if the high-side pressure isn't up to
snuff. This normally means that the freon leaked out somewhere - either
evaporator (common spot on the Dodge's), high/low side fittings (check the
shrader valves and gaskets), and also check the fitting on the condensor.

Subject: DML: 1993 Dakota Club Cab heater-A/C issue
I have a 1993 Dodge Dakota Club Cab/V-8/2WD. My A/C-Heater blower stopped
working and I have checked the fuses under the dash. I have also noticed
that when I turn on the A/C, it doesn't get that engine drag down, like the
compressor isn't coming on. Before discovering this, I thought that it may
be the blower itself, but I would think that the fan would still blow,
right? I also checked the fuses under the hood. The 50 amp fuse is ok but
there is an A/C relay that I know nothing about.... could this be the
problem or what else may I be missing?
Also, another problem started back in early fall. As long as my fuel tank is
over 1/4 full, I am fine. If it is below 1/4, the truck will often die, cold
or warm, and has to sit several minutes before starting. It will crank when
it does it but will not start. Only does it when less than 1/4 full.
I found a Haynes book for my truck on Amazon.com (only $3!!!), but it won't
be in for a few days. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks...
