Here is a strange one (to me). At time my heater motor fan will not come
on. I notice that when this happens that when I shut the truck off and take
the key out the steering wheel is not locked. If I turn the key one and
bounce the tilt wheel up and down a few time I can get it to work.

This is on my 2003 Dodge RAM Diesel.

Any thoughts on what is going one here?

Thanks

Not sure on the '03s, but previous year Rams only locked the steering wheel
upside-down.

My guess would be a bad ignition switch/loose wire in the connector. Pin #8
on the connector (dark green wire) is the dedicated feed for the blower
motor, fed by a 40A fuse (fuse #4) on pin #1 of the connector (pink/black
wire).

Is it still under warranty?
