RAM 1500 Truck 4WD V8-5.9L VIN Z (2002)
Blower Motor: Recalls
Recall 03V078000: Blower Motor Circuit Defect
DEFECT: On certain pickup trucks, the electrical connector at the bottom of the steering column contains an under-sized terminal for the HVAC blower
motor circuit. Localized heating from current flow with the blower speed set on high may cause the terminal contacts to relax and lose electrical contact.
This can cause the HVAC blower motor to become inoperative. This condition could cause poor defroster performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will install a wiring harness overlay to correct this condition. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began April 7,
2003. Owners may contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
