Problem 1. Instrument cluster continually loses bus and shuts down while driving without any loss of power. Instruments go down briefly and come back on followed by windshield wipers making one pass.
Problem 2. Fan motor continually comes on and off on its own.
Problem 3. Blend door actuator has broken the blend door hinge. (This is a complicated one) Recall A17 addresses the actuator problem by replacing it...it DOES NOT address any damage it caused to the door itself. Furthermore, Dodge redesigned the lower end box that houses the doors and made the new resigned lower end box incompatible with the existing control head. This is forcing me to have to purchase a new control head AND lower box. All due to and directly related to a recall on the actuator problem.
After months of being in and out of the dealer with NO resolve but hundreds of dollars of my money spent to trouble shoot the issues, I decided to see if I could find an answer on my own.
I believe that all 3 issues are related. Although the control head is working, I believe it has a short causing the occasional loss of ground to the fan blower and the occasional loss of buss to the instrument cluster.
However, Since the New control head is 3X more expensive than the original and has a different part # than the original, getting it replaced under the warranty is out of the question! WHAT!!
The dealer refuses to acknowledge the control head as being the culprit??? HELP!!!
