My friend said she got a strong electrical burning smell and her blower doesn't work in any of the positions. I'm assuming its the blower motor. Anything I should be aware of?
Compressor will have nothing at all to do with whether or not the blower blows. Even if the compressor completely blew apart, the blower would still blow air, just wouldn't be cold air. The resistor on those is an electronic resistor, not a coil-type resistor (if it has the automatic temperature control where you can set by a specific temp, then it uses a control module). So if it burned out, it could cause the burning smell. Chances are very good it will be the resistor, those are a common repair on many vehicles (not just Chrysler products). Check the motor to see if it's good by running wires directly to it from the battery. Connect both ground and power wires direct, if it doesn't work, it needs a new motor. If it does work, then likely needs a new resistor. Remove the resistor and check for burn spots, or use a voltmeter and check for voltage going in and coming out of the resistor. If the resistor is good, then it's either a wiring harness, or the control itself that burnt up.
the resistor can go bad in those.check the compressor too, but it is probably the motor with a burning smell. take it apart and check it i have seen mice build nests in them, you will probably have to replace resistor as well, the blower motor usually will short out the resistor
