Thank you, I have a Dodge Avenger and had this problem. The way you said fixed it. But the problem is the metal heats up for some reason and melts the plastic above the contacts. I had to scrape and sand it off for it to get good connection, the grease is there to help with the connection. Why Chrysler/Dodge doesn't do something to remedy this situation is beyond me, it should be redesigned and be a recall. This item rebuilt is $140.00 on amazon and $337.00 new, this should not be the expense of the owner, someone in the design room f----ed up!
same here with a 09 grand caravan... the melted plastic ended me twisting the upper contact out of shape. scraped the plastic flush, bent the contact back into place - Bingo! but it is just a smidgen away from refailing...
Wow! As a 70 year old retired Master Tech, I am simply amazed by these videos sometimes. Thank you! Putting together a driver for my granddaughter, had no blower at all. Cost me 45 minutes and a little dielectric grease out of my old toolbox. Works like a champ! How many unneeded blower resistors have been sold for this problem? Thanks again!!
OMG. DUDE!!!!. Thank you so Dame much for this video. I used unit would have cost me 40 to 90 bucks and days of waiting a new one any where from 200 to 300 Dollars. I followed just what you did for my Chrysler 200 And it works🤯. I did not have money this time of year to be spending and it's snowing in Utah. My morning drive is going to be all Toasty Warm🌡️. Thank you so much for sharing this dude you Rock!
Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly what was wrong with my daughter's 2010 Journey. Cost only $2 for the dielectric grease, and some elbow grease 🙂 I can return the blower capacitor I bought, as that was not the problem.
If it didn’t work then a trip to a you pull it junkyard and $10. Thanks for the video. I got lucky and gripped the knob and jiggled it back and forth and in and out and changed speeds and it’s working fine again for now
Can someone tell me what size the screw or nut is, please? I need to replace the controls in my 2009 Journey but cannot find the right tool to remove the nuts. Thanks.
@Melvin Zoopers the contacts will eventually wear down again and will short risking a fire like mine. It's just a bad design. I'm trying to replace the controls completely but it is not plug and play sadly.

It's nice when things work out. It doesn't usually happen that way.

Thanks for the video. It worked! Hallelujah

Good job.
Weird thing is, dielectric grease is non conductive so it's weird that that is what is used.
I will have to take mine apart and check it. Thanks
True!
my guess is that it is to keep from crosscontacting between the different stages
Omg the pins will not go back in the blue thing!!
You're just asking for it to catch fire again.
I got it back in working order again. No fires...before or after.

@@hybridher0did u ever found a solution?
You are clueless, and never turned a wrench for a living.
