I’ve done this many times in other vehicles. I have a 2002 wrangler -x. Just wanted to see where it was, how difficult to get to. You did an excellent job. My ocd killed me as you were reconnecting the new piece. Long strand of hair dangling. Overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars!

Your video is a treasure, you get straight to it and keep it simple. Someone should ask jeep … WHAT THE HELL ?

Very helpful video! Something I would NOT have been able to do without seeing your video. Not trolling, but offering a pro tip: once it's all plugged in, test it before screwing the motor resistor back into place and re-inserting the push-plug for the other connector.

This is doable! I got the part off amazon, and my daughter and i knocked this out in under an hour on her 04 TJ. Sure it's a tight spot to work but be patient and use this video as a guide...thanks for taking the time to make this!

Thank you for a very thorough video! I’m new to the Jeep fam and have a 2006 TJ. I’ve been trying to do the little things myself. My issue is with the highest fan speed. It works but you have to hold the dial in…lol I’m not doing that while I drive 😅

I had the same problem as you .The high speed fan speed would not work all the other speeds did work.I changed out the fan switch.The old one I could tell overheated and melted a little bit.Suppose to be fairly common with the TJ's.Cost about $27 from Advanced Auto.Pretty simple to do if you can use a screwdriver 😂

Very common problem with a lot of vehicles. The factory resistor lasted for 14 yrs in my 06 Wrangler the replacement resistor lasted 2 years, now it time for the third one. Pain in the butt to get at.

Just bought a TJ and have the same issue hopefully this works for me and your video makes the struggle a little easier.. appreciate it

I thought it was a pretty good video! Since I'm trying to make the same repair, this was super helpful. I haven't been able to get to the two screws yet (didn't have the right tool--it's coming tomorrow), but I'm thinking I'm going to need to dissemble more of the dash to get to this. Dang what a pain! :)

I think you mean connectors not switches, there is a huge difference between the two, nice job.

Mine just went on my 2004 TJ. I had a 2001 and 2005 Dodge Dakota that the resistors both went. They were easy to get to. This looks like a royal PITA. Helpful video though.

Appreciate the video man. Been without heat/air for a bit but didn’t have time to take her into the shop. Know my heating core works and I had the head replaced a little while ago. Going to use this to help replace my resistor later today, these 4am mornings at 20 degrees with no heat are gettin’ old haha.

Thanks for the video, my 04 is doing the same thing, will try this fix as well......

Nice Fix ! 👍 I have a 2001 XJ similar problem switch only working on 2 and 4. And then stopped working all together. Git the Resistor out was rusted. And the connector was melted !

I have 2 TJs and I'm on my fourth resistor. Not easy at all as you say. But we will do anything to keep out TJs on the road. I have a 03 and 06.

very helpful, thanks man

I could be wrong on a few of these details but see if this helps you any. CJ was the first non-military Jeep like he said. Next came the YJ with square headlights and was the first model to be called a Wrangler, if memory serves me correctly. TJ was the next major model after the YJ and went back to round headlights and introduced the Rubicon edition. Somewhere between the YJ and TJ they started using coil springs instead of leaf springs. TJ also had a stretched model, the LJ and also called the Unlimited but still just two doors. JK was next, and now JL. I believe it was the JK that broke away from the venerable 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine and went to the Pentastar for the larger engine option. It also introduced the 4-door Unlimited models.

I've got the 97 TJ and was having the issue of some fan settings not working, now I only get air (cold) when at 35+ mph...you think it's the resistor or the blower itself?

@duramaxdad

Жыл бұрын

Check power at the blower by starting the engine. Turning on AC or heat and ck for 12 volts at the blower motor connector under dash passenger side. If u have power but fan is not moving then replace fan. No power? check fuse under hood, fuse behind glove box, then ck power at resistor and replace if necessary. Hopefully u r good. Not solved yet? Ck power at relay behind glove box. That’s what I learned today fixing my tj. Hope it helps someone.

The JK the a/c lag to blow at start

I have a 97 TJ and even the highest setting feels like it blows like the lowest setting would. It blows air on all settings but I’m trying to figure out what would cause the low flow. Anyone have any ideas?

@duramaxdad

You say it blows air on all settings. Folks check to make sure it blows more air the higher you turn up the fan speed. Bad resistor usually means u lost 1 or more speeds. They either stop working or stay same as other other fan speed settings. Mine was the fuse under the hood. It would not blow any air on any speed. I tried the controller, then fuse behind glove box, then new relay behind glove box, then resistor, finally the fuse under the hood fixed it. I learned something. Hope it helps.

I trade my vehicles in before they start developing these kinds of problems.
