ok of course its only going to have high on a charger.

its more than likely its not your motor, but your speed swtich that is on the heater/ac panel.. they are pretty good for going out. though they normally have a few setting go out first before nothing

good luck jess s

Suggested Repair

Replace the blower motor resistor block located in the ductwork next to the blower motor. Direct power and a direct ground can make the motor run on high even when the resistor is failed.

Conversation Summary

A 2001 Dodge Dakota blower motor quit despite good fuses and power at the motor. It ran on high when grounded directly. An expert suspected the heater/AC speed switch, but the owner later confirmed the resistor block in the ductwork next to the blower motor was the failed part.
