Yes it is there. Just next to the blower motor.

Look at this picture.

I'm asking how to replace the blower resistor. I have been told it is in behind the dash board. Is this correct? And if so, the procedure for replacing it.
Thanks

2000 dodge stratus se 2.5l blower and temp controm problem
Hi, The afore mentioned vehicle has only (4) highest speed working on blower switch. Also, temp knob doesn't regulate the temp at all. Where is the resistor located for the blower and how do I fix the temp switch. Thank you very much for your time and input!

Thanks for the advise. I changed the resistor and now all 4 fan speeds work, however, the temp control knob still doesn't change the temp of blower air. Can't hear any sound when I turn it, (like a door opening and closing) control motor for temp switch?
Also not sure where it is. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Hanks again for your help.
Mike

I assume you tried to calibrate it? If not do so first.
