Fan Switch
Has anyone else had troubles with the fan speed selector switch in a TJ
melting down and not working right? Mine has melted enough that it had
literally liquified and began to meld with the plug behing it. Is there a
problem I should be aware of, or did i just get a bad switch from the
factory? BTW I have a 1999 TJ 4cyl.
Thanks

Re: Fan Switch
Hi David,
I think maybe one other in this group had that problem, Matt? Seems
strange to me as the switch is bypassed in the high position and
tempered by a resistor in the lower positions:

Re: Fan Switch
The fan would run in the 1st, 2nd and halfway between the third and fourth
position, the contact that melted out of the switch was the contact for the
high position. I had trouble with this before and was able to rebuild the
switch, however it melted down again. Just wondering how it got hot enough
the melt and liquify plastic but not blow a fuse of some kind, this is what
my biggest concern over this is.

You might have got a switch made in Japan, like my Bronco.
