fan switch
If you can help..... I have a tj sport, 2003. the interior fan only blows
at high. The heater is fine. I'm hopping that it only needs a switch
replacement (which I also hope I can do myself)... has anyone else come
across this? many thanks Mike

Re: fan switch
Your switch should be fine, the fan has a direct line on high. There is
a resistor pack that controls the lower speeds and when it is burned out
you get your symptoms.
I think someone posted here about actually replacing the thermal fuse
unit inside the pack that sometimes blows rather than just buying a new
pack, but most folks just replace them.
The resistor pack is located at the bottom of the heater air box in the
passenger side footwell. I think there is a plastic cover on it that
comes off with one or maybe two screws. Our Cherokee is one screw to
loosen and a slot on the second.
Sometimes when this resistor pack blows, it is because the heater motor
is wearing out and drawing too many amps.
