    I have a 97 GTP bought it about a month ago and the air wasn't working when i bought it, the previous owner told me he thought it was the blower motor. I checked the fuses and found that the HVAC HI fuse was blown so i replaced it and now the air works but only on full blast. I also checked the DIC/HVAC fuse and that one was fine. Also the DIC turns off when the air dial is 1-4 and then turns back on when its on full blast. Has anyone had this problem or know what it could be? Are there any other fuses i should be checking? Thanks.

    Sounds like the blower motor resistor is shot. Do a search for it here as it comes up often.

    Alright thanks. I already have to replace both window motors this weekend and maybe ill have time to do the blower motor resistor as well. Is there a good write up for this? I know its located behind the glovebox right?
