  Q: How to service the rear blower motor switch (Blower Control Switches) equipped with the optional rear heater-A/C unit on Dodge Ram 1500 Van?

  A:

  For rear blower motor switch maintenance on models with a rear heater-A/C unit, disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable at first. Pull out the accessory switch plate from the instrument panel, then turn the illumination lamp socket opposite of the hands to disengage it from the back of the switch housing. Twist the knob loose at the tip of the stem on the accessory switch plate in the front. Using a small, narrow-blade screwdriver, carefully lift the edge of the accessory switch plate to release the two clips at the sides of the rear blower motor switch housing, so you can take out the switch from the back of the accessory switch panel. Put the rear blower switch on the accessory switch plate toward the back, push it in firmly and make sure the clips are all engaged. Place the rear blower motor switch stem with the flat into the hub of the knob and carefully reinstall the knob above it. Screw the illumination socket onto the rear blower motor housing, place the accessory switch in its slot on the instrument panel and join the battery negative cable.

  Q: What are the specific procedures for removal and installation of the rear blower motor Blower Control Switches on Dodge Ram 1500 Van?

  A:

  You must use special methods to remove and install the rear blower motor switch when the optional rear heater-A/C unit is fitted to the model. Remove the negative terminal of the battery first and disconnect it. Once the care is done, take off the switch plate from the instrument panel. Turn the illumination lamp socket counterclockwise to detach it from the switch, then pull the knob off the blower motor switch stem at the front of the accessory switch plate to remove the switch. Slide a thin-bladed screwdriver between the accessory switch plate and the side of the motor switch housing to release the two clip-style fasteners from both sides. Position the switch for the rear blower on the tool's back panel, make sure it is even and press down firmly to get the switch snap clip retainers into place. Put the knob onto the stem of the rear blower motor switch, making sure the flat in the knob lines up with the flat in the stem. After that, reinstall the illumination lamp socket to the back of the same switch housing. After that, place the accessory switch plate into the instrument panel and attach the negative battery cable.
