OK so what they told me was at the dealership is that the old blower motor has not enough coils on it so it's burning up the electrical line and the electrical line plugs in to the bottom of the fuse box I'll send you a picture The old blowers were short circuiting the line and burning up the wiring there is a updated blower motor that does not do this anymore anymorepicturefile:///var/mobile/

Got it back Friday, with a new fan. So far, so good. But that's the problem with intermittent defects--you never know right away. I'll update if it has problems again. Otherwise, fingers crossed that this did the trick.

It's the wiring harness that goes from the fuse box to the blower it's melted up under the fuse box take it in if it's under warranty the fuse box wiring is about $3000 the old motor melted the wiring so that's why it's going on intermittently

So a few months ago my 2013 Durango started this issue where soon as she starts up the fan will run for whatever amount of time then the front and only the front will shut off for a few seconds to a minute and then start back up. It will continually do this the entire time it is running. In most cases it will stop doing it and work as it should but all of a sudden last couple days it does it no matter what.
I am on a fixed income and no warranty so hoping to find out some places to look as I prefer to look at the cheaper fixes first before moving to the more costly repairs.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Hello there! Wondering if by chance you have a part number for the new and improved blower motor for this?
Any help would be very much appreciated!

I have a 2017 Dodge Durango GT, my front AC is doing the exact same thing, will work then not, replaced the fuse F13 and the relay switch K10, it's been 3 days and now not working again. What could be causing them to go out? Blower motor, compressor? It's a 100 degrees in Texas, I'm dying.

A bad blower motor or the wiring connector is burned at the motor. That would require a new motor as well.

I had the same issue on my 2014 Durango. I replaced the blower motor and relay under the dash right next to the blower motor also.

It turned out that I needed to replace the TIPM as well. What I think happened was that the blower motor overheated and the relay under the dash allowed too much current to the fusebox under the hood + it ended up melting the TIPM. This is what caused intermittent functionality of the HVAC up front. Like what you're experiencing.

New TIPMs were on backorder from Dodge a couple of months the ago. Here's where you can get yours replaced or a new one.

Did you have to replace the wire harness plug/connector that plugs into the tipm as well? Do you have a part number if you did?

I have the same issue in my 14. Been troubleshooting it for a couple days now and driving it daily to monitor the fault. I backprobed the connector to monitor power at the input of the front voltage resistor for the front hvac blower. When the blower quits, i still have the control voltage from the control panel and i have 12v coming from the TPIM. Its hard to believe the TPIM is needed since i have 12v, but do you think it could still be an issue? I replaced the resistor and the blower motor with aftermarket parts. Not the best idea, but the claim a 'lifetime warranty'.

Might be the HVAC relay in your TIPM going bad.

This is what I replaced at first + it "kind of" addressed the issue for a while.

Probably the dead giveaway that it was the TIPM going bad was that at first I could touch + wiggle the HVAC relay in the TIPM and things would start working. Over time this fixed the issue less and less.

Fuse is good and relay are both good. Also off that main 40amp fuse going into the power module before the hvac blower i have a good 12v while the failure is happening

Not to dig up an old post but what exactly is failing in the TIPM that allows you to jiggle the fuse and have the fan come back on? I’m having the same problem and jiggling the fuse seems to fix it. Is there something I need to resolder or something I can bypass? I’m not really trying to spend $$$$ on a new TIPM
