Jon,

That's the blower motor resistor (Diode version). The correct P/N# is:
04885482AC

Subject: DML: OT: Chrysler part number lookup

   Just wondering if someone with access to a parts computer at a dealership
might be able to look up a part number for me? Its out of a 2002 Chrysler
Town & Country and the part number on it is 04885482AA/D. Basically, I
would like to know what to call the darn thing and also, if you have a price
on it, that would be great too. Essentially, its a small circuit board that
has a transistor on it attached to a MONSTER heat sink. Its for the HVAC
system, and provides power to the front blower motor.
If I had to guess, I'd probably call it a blower motor controller.
I did find something on Tenafly called a blower motor resistor, but MSRP on
that was about $11 which seems way too cheap for this piece. (Who knows,
maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.) ;-) Tenafly has a part number lookup
on their site, but no variation on that part number brought anything up.
Just thought I would see if I could get some basic info (name, price) before
I called the local dealers to check stock and price.

   Speaking of which (possible Dakota content) ;-) Does anyone know of a
way for the "layperson" to access Mopar's parts number database? It would
be nice if we could type a part number into a form, and it would tell us the
official name for a part, price, etc. Tenafly "sort of" has that - its
obviously not a complete database though. Granted, I can always call local
dealers, but I don't like using the phone and mostly I don't want to waste
other people's time. (Oftentimes when I want to look up a part number it is
just for research; in this case I actually need to buy the part, so I
wouldn't feel so bad about calling the dealer.)
