Probably the blower motor. I put one in my Durango earlier this year after smacking the housing for about 8 months. Same deal with my sons '01 Dakota 5-6 years ago. If your Dakota is like my Durango you do not have to pull the dash and case out. Check youtube and google. I pulled my dash just far enough to put a new resistor in which you already did.

when i replaced the resister i also replaced the plug with a "high heat" plug,sometimes it comes on by itself sometimes it needs a bump

IIRC (I am getting old ), you can get to the blower wires by removing the glove box. The next time it doesn't work (and you have the time), unplug the connector and use either a test light or volt meter across the harness side to see if you have 12v and a ground. You may want to remove the glove box ahead of time just so you don't jar the dash enough to make the motor work when you remove it. If you do have voltage & a ground, then that tells you the motor is dragging. Bad motors are very common in Dakotas/Durangos of this vintage. Tim
