1996 Dodge Dakota HEATER BLOWER

Hi:
I just looked it up and that is all there is, 5 screws. As far as the plug being melted, that indicates to me that the old motor was drawing too many amps. I wish I had something better to say about the blower motor, but I'm most likely looking at the same type of exploded view you are. If you don't have one, let me know and I'll try to send it to you.

Hi:
I can't copy the picture for you, but here are the directions I reviewed. I tried to seperate the section where it talks about the housing. Take a look.
