I have no long term fix for this. I bought the truck new and I've had problems with the blower (heater/AC) motor. The wiring for the blower resistor becomes very hot once you set the blower switch on the dashboard above 3. I've replaced the harness 3 times and the resistor at least 5 times. The dealer informed me that Chrysler only warrants the work for ONE year. I have asked him to feel the wiring hardness with the blower running on the highest speed and he agreed it was too hot and would definitely melt if left running for any period of time. His recommendation is to run the blower on the slowest speed possible. I will acknowledge that in each succeeding time I've had the blower replaced, he has charged me less.
I'm amazed these trucks haven't burned up in large numbers.
