I quit having the problem when I quit running the fan on hi, just going to the 3rd setting. I'm guessing the fan motor draws too much current on hi and needs to be replaced, I just haven't done that yet. I also had to replace some melted wires.

When you go to high, it is supposed to be a low power trigger line for a relay in the TJ's from what I understand... The older ones like the CJ7's pull full power through the switch on high.
