Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
What did I do to MY WJ? Chased some A/C gremlins around...blower doesn't blow...but power straight to the blower motor makes it spin, so it's either a wiring issue, a resistor/diode, or switch problem...

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
I hate doing anything that originates on the right side of the dash, something usually dies under there at -30 or when your nowhere near a warm spot or proper tools.
Hope you get it figured out.

Hoping it's the harness as they've been known to fail, but I can't get the damn thing off of the blower motor controller. I've pushed, pulled, pried, wiggled, yanked, whacked, broken the clip and it won't come free at the connector...

I've had that happen before, the pins inside corroded together. Ended up cutting the connector off and splicing a new one in. Was not a fun job. Hope you get it fixed without to much hassle.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
im entertaining the thought of removing the A/C system entirely... if i didn't use it when i was in the states... as if im going to use it in NB... im a windows down kinda guy...
the blower gremlin is in my jeep too, only wide open really blows... and even then its not much, just really loud and annoying... and i pretty much only use that for heat on cold mornings...
i found a wonderful thing when i was giving the jeep a once over this morning... a nasty rock size hole in my airfilter... as its a K&N univeral cone filter that you can see thru the grill up front... im thinking following too close and got a rock kicked up into it... (as i know i've had a shower of rocks when a buddy got bogged down in a spot and i just ran up on him)

Well, the no A/C is not a huge deal, but not being able to defrost or defog a window so I can see kind of sucks...It tends to rain quite a bit here too, so probably best that I fix it sooner then later...and not be spending time on the computer posting on forums...;)

That bites, I never liked the way the grill was open so I went to Rona and bought some rain gutter shields. Expanded aluminium sheets 36"x 6". You get 5 in a pack for 10.00 and I cut them out to go behind the grill and just wired them on. Made one for the bottom rad support to.

Re: What Did You Do To Your GC Today
Great minds think alike...
cause i just bought some after posting!
and am painting it black...
if you look at my grill in the first pic, you'll see that the last grill on the left is missing... got knocked in, so rather than JB weld it in or melt it in... im just going to replace it all
