CarComplaints.com Notes: Carrying the not-so-proud traditions of its 2002 predecessor, the 2003 has a handful of instrument panel malfunctions that can leave you guessing your speed, engine temperature or how much gas is left in the tank.
Fan speed settings 1, and 5 didnt work. to fix it all you have to do is replace the blower resistor motor. just get the part from autozone and go under the dash and get a 7mm ratchet and take bots off the plastic piece under the dash and isconnect the connectors and get the new resistor and plug it back in
One day the blower switch stopped working on the lowest speed (1). 1 now acts like you have blower turned off. Other speeds still work, though speed 5 only works if both top and bottom vents are selected. Not sure if that's a problem or a "feature". Speed 5 has worked this way since I bought it in '06. Oh, and every once in a while speed 1 DOES decide to work. Go figure...
THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT ENTERED ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE FAN SWITCH WENT OUT, WENT TO THE DEALER PURCHASED A NEW SWITCH, INSTALLED IT AND NOW IF I TRY AN USE MY DEFROST IT MAKES THE CAR STALL. I HAVE TO KEEP IT ON FEET JUST TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. CALLED THE DEALER TO INFORM THEM OF WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO BRING IT IN AND LET THEM DIAGNOSE IT AGAIN WHICH IS ANOTHER 86.00 AFTER I PURCHASED THE PART FROM THEM WHICH APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT AGAIN
