Help keep the circuit that drives your A/C clutch or cooling fan switching on cue with the Four Seasons relay, part number 36101. This standard relay lets a low-current control signal switch a higher-current load on and off. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1991-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1989-1993 Dodge Dakota and 1991-1995 Chrysler Town & Country, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Four Seasons lists this relay under three names: A/C clutch relay, A/C compressor control relay and engine cooling fan motor relay. The circuit it controls depends on the vehicle. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications and engine details.
- Precision engineered: Four Seasons draws on more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience, and designs and tests its products for years of trouble-free operation.
- OE-style molded connectors: the connectors are molded in an OE style.
- Quality contacts: these are intended to keep proper conductivity through the switched circuit.
- Vehicle-specific applications: the relay is cataloged for specific Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth models.
Signs a relay may need replacing include an A/C compressor clutch that won't engage, a cooling fan that doesn't switch on, or operation that cuts in and out. A fuse, wiring, a switch or the component itself can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing parts. If a failed relay is the cause, 36101 replaces it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 36101 relay do?
It uses a low-current control signal to switch a higher-current circuit on and off. Depending on the vehicle, that circuit feeds the A/C compressor clutch or the engine cooling fan motor.
Why is it listed under three different relay names?
Four Seasons catalogs 36101 as an A/C clutch relay, an A/C compressor control relay and an engine cooling fan motor relay. The circuit it serves depends on the application.
Is this the right Dakota relay for my 1989-1993 Dodge Dakota?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit relay for the 1989-1993 Dodge Dakota. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to match your exact vehicle.
Does it fit the 1991-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan and 1991-1995 Chrysler Town & Country?
Yes. It is listed for the 1991-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan and the 1991-1995 Chrysler Town & Country. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows the full list of applications.
What are signs this relay may need replacing?
Watch for an A/C clutch that won't engage, a cooling fan that won't switch on, or operation that cuts in and out. Fuses, wiring and switches can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit first.
