Don't know about the fan speeds but I just replaced my evaporator in
August. Check out the thread "A/C coil in a '99XJ" that I started
on 8/24/04. Had informative replies and good information.

Here's a copy paste of my final post to that thread:
Final report-
Took it back to the dealership shop at 1 pm this afternoon, same shop
as before, but talked to a different service advisor. This guy tells
me he can have it out of the shop this afternoon for $810 so I left it
with him even though I had my doubts about getting it back today. But
at 5:30pm it was ready.
Labor $330, Coil $350, Refrigerant $60, Shop supplies $16.50, State
sales tax $52.96, Total $809.46.
It blows cold air.
I'm a happy customer.
Thanks for the responses guys. I appreciate it.
